In charming Prime rom-com Upgraded, Camila Mendes displays movie star chops as a young intern mistaken for her boss.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 11, 2025

This forgettable rom-com does nothing to excite you or make your heart flutter because there are hardly any stakes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2024

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.

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 5, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 2, 2024

Renaux and Mendes are charming and it’s fun seeing London. This is no masterpiece but I smiled while watching it

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Feb 28, 2024

When the film focuses on its lead as a young woman finding her way and utilizing her skills in business it isn’t bad. Less so when it insists on one of those keys being a mistaken ID romance.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 27, 2024

It's easily one of the best '00s rom-coms of the 2020s.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 26, 2024

The strong cast as a whole, including more than qualified supporting players, really adds to what this film has to offer.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 22, 2024

Unlike its lead, Upgraded doesn’t try to be anything more than it is to deliver a sweet, enjoyable rom com ride.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 19, 2024

Upgraded finds a way to soar through the predictable clouds, with a delightful supporting cast, and lands perfectly on the romantic comedy runway.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2024

As a rom-com, Upgraded has nothing new to offer. While Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux play their parts well, their chemistry isn't exactly scorching and the onscreen romance seems a bit forced.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 16, 2024

It’s a movie about the journey of self-discovery and transformation to upgrade her career for her ambitions.

| Feb 16, 2024

This is one to check out ASAP...

| Feb 15, 2024

Upgraded has sharper edges and better comic timing than a lot of rom-coms, even if the romance part of the equation seems like an afterthought.

| Feb 15, 2024

Frankly, all that’s missing from Upgraded is an outtakes section for the closing credits. If we’re in the midst of a new romcom renaissance, it’s high time we brought back the bloopers reel.

The Devil Wears Prada for the art world, this film is predictable but no less fun for it, and it features a confident central performance by Camila Mendes.

| Feb 14, 2024

This is the kind of film that’s been done countless times, leading to a similar outcome. But while Upgraded retraces some very familiar genre territory, it does so exceedingly well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2024

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

What do you call a rom-com when the romance is the least interesting thing about it? Upgraded might have been better off in a different genre.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 13, 2024
