Upgraded
It's “Cinderella” meets “The Devil Wears Prada” in the art auction world when an insecure but ambitious intern Ana Santos (Camila Mendes) with an art world career dream tries to impress her demanding boss Claire Dupree (Marissa Tomei). A last minute invite to London for a big auction makes Ana the lackey to bossy Claire & her 2 snobby & snarky assistants (think evil stepmother & stepsisters). Fortunately, Ana gets bumped to first class from economy class. At the airport, she bumps into handsome & rich Will (think Prince Charming) & meets him again on the plane. Being a romantic comedy, you should get the picture by now. Through a misunderstanding & a lie that only perpetuates more deceit, Ana finds herself in some messy situations & falling in love. Lena Olin plays Will’s mother Catherine. If you enjoy rom/coms & fairy tales, you’ll probably enjoy this entertaining seize-the-moments-that-can-change-your-life film.
