Description: **Upgraded: A 2024 Romantic Comedy**
**Synopsis:**
“Upgraded” is a romantic comedy film released in 2024, directed by Carlson Young and featuring a talented cast including Camila Mendes, Archie Renaux, Lena Olin, and Marisa Tomei. The movie premiered on Amazon Prime Video on February 9, 2024.
The story follows Ana, an aspiring intern in the art industry, who strives to impress her demanding boss, Claire. While on a work trip, Ana is unexpectedly upgraded to first class, where she meets the charming Will, who mistakenly believes she is her boss. This small deception sets off a glamorous series of events, leading to romance and new opportunities. However, Ana’s little lie is on the verge of being exposed.
The film echoes the vibes of mid-2000s romantic comedies, drawing parallels with “The Devil Wears Prada.” Like Anne Hathaway’s character, Ana is a twenty-something navigating the hustle of New York, constantly striving for success while dealing with financial constraints. As a fine art expert in training at an upscale auction house, she is desperate to make a name for herself before she is forced to return to her hometown of Tampa to sell paintings, a prospect that doesn’t align with her dreams. Living with her loud and art-ignorant sister, Vivian, and her fiancé, Ronnie, adds to the challenges she faces in her pursuit of success.
