Upgraded (2024)

Streaming on Prime Video Now

★★★

Upgraded is a good little movie, lightly entertaining if you’re looking for a typical rom-com. It’s exactly what you expect it to be, doesn’t stray from the rom-com formula too much, and is definitely a streaming film, but it’s a nice light watch!
