Why do these movies always have to be based on some big lie that’s going to ruin everything in the end? I literally hate that so much. Also, was it just me or did Will’s mother seem more in love with Ana than William himself? Their relationship really wasn’t particularly romantic or loving, and he genuinely didn’t seem to care about her that much… I’m really not sure why or how he got over his justified anger and annoyance over her using him, since there wasn’t that much depth between them to fall back on. I just feel like it should have stayed as a holiday fling, and that him coming back to her 6 months later was pretty random and unrealistic. Lastly, I’m not sure why I was supposed to be rooting for Ana to get a job promotion… She didn’t do anything special that would make her stand out from the rest and her big fat lie honestly should have gotten her fired. She didn’t really deserve all the luck that she got handed to her in the end. Her boss Claire, on the other hand, was pretty awesome and iconic. She was probably my favourite character in the whole movie, and I really don’t know why she took such a liking to Ana.

I enjoyed this awesome movie

An okay movie that'd have been more enjoyable if it wasn't so tropy. As it is, the cliché lies that last the whole movie made me cringe for the better part of an hour and a half, which is not what I was going for here. Thank you Archie Renaux for being cute, Marisa Tomei for being awesome, and both for distracting me from the plot. Movie should have ended at [spoiler]her being fired. Move along, enlist in the Navy and regret your lies for the rest of your life now please[/spoiler]. Also, can't you wait a couple minutes for the man to stop coaching ? He said it's the final fcking minutes. Also also, who knows why [spoiler]hot Archie Renaux decided to come back at the end ? That's an Archie ex machina, out of thin air magical happy ending for you[/spoiler].

it was fun despite the plot had nothing new or special, but i didn't feel the chemistry between the leads it wasn't a nice choice putting them together imo.

Film 63 (Goal: 300) of 2024 It's standard fare, all of these romcoms are. But you can do standard fare well or you can do a poor job of it, and Upgraded is a surprisingly decent romantic comedy (though very light on the comedy) that sees the protagonist hop from America to London. As someone who has just got back from London, it would have been great to see a bit more of London. The confusion on the transition from America to the UK is always fun, if not a bit stereotypical. The problems with this rom com are that despite her situation in life, everything seems to fall the way of the lead. The upgrade, the man sitting next to her, the people she meets, the influence she has over them. So it's hard to buy into her struggle. Also not sure how much connection there is between the two leads, I found Archie Renaux to be a bore. He needed more oomph to him instead of just being the nice guy. This isn't a bad way to spend 90 minutes. It's an easy watch and there are far worse romcoms out there.
