Directed by Carlson Young, the romantic comedy 'Upgraded,' starring Camila Mendes and Archie Renaux, has premiered with a mix of critical responses. The film, which is now streaming on Prime Video, has been described as a Cinderella-esque story and likened to 'The Devil Wears Prada' but set in the art world. It currently holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Reviews range from praise for Mendes' performance, citing her star power and charm, to criticism calling the movie a 'meager, drab stew of class confusion' and suggesting it suffers from an identity crisis. Mendes, known for her role in 'Riverdale,' has expressed a desire to be taken seriously as an actor, a sentiment she echoed while discussing her experience working on 'Upgraded.'
