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

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.

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.

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+

Loud and Clear Reviews

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

Rated: 3.5/5

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Two Bratz antagonists can’t stop Camila Mendes from proving her worth in Upgraded, a movie that asks what would happen if The Devil Wears Prada had no charm and even less chemistry. We’re flying economy in this one. Full review on my Substack: https://benpatten.substack.com/

Eh. Cute. Really liked the actors. She dug deep into a lie, only being remorseful when she got caught.

Une comédie romantique cheesy, mais ça fait du bien parfois.

I absolutely loved this show! It completely exceeded my expectations. The complexity of the plot was fantastic; unlike many shows where you can easily guess the ending, this one kept me guessing the whole time. "Upgraded" has quickly become one of my new favorite movies, and I believe everyone should see it!

Elegante y entretenida, una típica película romántica con todos los vicios del genero que uno ya imagina pero no por eso deja de ser disfrutable. Algún buen chiste y el ritmo justo. Grandes actuaciones de todo el elenco.

Una película muy predecible, para ser honestos es claro que es un mix de the evil wears of Prada and Princesa por Accidente de Selena Gómez, literalmente mezclaron las películas. La actuación de la protagonista 6/10
