Reviews
FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/upgraded-review-a-ridiculously-inconsequential/ "Upgraded could have been an inoffensively formulaic, forgettable rom-com that borrows from hundreds of other similar movies, but the frustratingly simplistic conclusion with terrible messaging - basically conveying the idea that lying has no negative consequences, quite the opposite - ruins the hopes of a recommendation for fans of the genre. A predictable story from the first second without an ounce of creativity and with a complacent resolution to all the protagonist's problems. Camila Mendes and Marisa Tomei deserve more than the worst film of 2024 to date." Rating: D-
