Critics Consensus
Lightly entertaining even as it hews to genre conventions, Upgraded is an appealing option for anyone seeking a good old-fashioned rom-com.
Linda Holmes NPR I think they set it in this very specific world of art, which, even if it's not entirely accurate, it's specific. So within its own world, it feels developed. May 10, 2024 Full Review Natalia Winkelman New York Times The movie is unevenly directed, and some scenes struggle to clear even the low bar set by more polished streaming originals. But Young succeeds nonetheless in channeling the freshman thrill of plunging into an alluring adult milieu. Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Samantha Bergeson indieWire This is a story about women supporting women, especially across generations, and that’s what makes Upgraded resonate more than just a frothy rom-com would. Rated: B+ Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com This forgettable rom-com does nothing to excite you or make your heart flutter because there are hardly any stakes. Rated: 2/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies You can actually see the blueprint for a good art-world comedy and the movie certainly has the cast for it. But the wedged-in romance drags the movie down mainly because there’s nothing remotely fresh or original about it. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Michael Cook KLRT-TV Amazon Prime & Netflix kinda churn out these romantic comedies, sometimes they're kinda not great, but this is one of the better ones. It's helped by Marisa Tomei's & Lena Olin's fantastic performances. It can be a little predictable though. Rated: 8/10 Mar 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
Audience Member A modern day retelling of Cindrella. Very formulaic and predictable but refreshing given its modern day setting of the characters. Camila Mendes is very charming and interesting in her portrayal of her character. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Audience Member So it's my first time to know about Camila Mendes. Gosh she is so good actress and so beautiful and i love this movie. Camila Mendes is fit for romantic comedy movies she looks mila kunis Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Ridwoan R Loved it! Camila nailed it! ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Khaztiel D Una comedia romántica en donde la protagonista tiene claro cuales son sus objetivos. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Samantha K I think we all knew Anna was going to get her own gallery, this film reminded me of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ movie, however, I didn’t see any chemistry between Billy & Anna, and I wanted to so badly! But it just wasn’t there, which was disappointing! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Gabriela B I hoped the main character would use her talent, knowledge, and love for art to propel her in her career. There some but ultimately very few moments of this. She ended up succeeding by getting lucky that she met someone on a plane, and that was very disappointing. The actors were good, I always love seeing Archie Renaux, but I think the script is hard to swallow. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Ana (Camila Mendes) is an ambitious intern dreaming of a career in the art world while trying to impress her demanding boss Claire (Marisa Tomei). When she's upgraded to first class on a work trip, she meets handsome Will (Archie Renaux), who mistakes Ana for her boss--a white lie that sets off a glamorous chain of events, romance and opportunity, until her fib threatens to surface.
