First Class

Liked the tone of this show. Self deprecating humor. Camilla Mendes stars as an auction house assistant who gets upgraded to first class. That leads to her pretending to be her boss. Like Working Girl. These set in Europe rom coms can be a little superficial but this one brings you into the art world. And the scenery doesn't overwhelm the story. The glamorous world of auction houses and art folks in London is a nice change. Things work out quite neatly.

Marisa Tomei is quite good here as the Devil Wears Prada type boss. Quite a transformation with the accent and persona. Camilla Mendes is watchable and intelligent looking and it is nice to see her out of Riverdale. She can do different and more mature roles now. Lena Olin is quite fun to watch. Archie the love interest isn't well cast. Does not have the privileged vibe.

She did treat him badly and he told her off but what made him forgive her wasn't shown.

An entertaining enough watch.

It reminded me of a time when writers wrote jokes and actors delivered them. It provided the satisfaction of a cheeseburger. Never taking itself too seriously, it has more com than rom, sure, but the natural chemistry between Ana and Will keep the romantic plot spicy enough to hold our attention. The work place drama is Cinderella mixed with Devil Wears Prada, with a particularly funny supporting cast keeping the fun alive amid the chaos. Camila carries the film, and shows once again how much more she has to offer beyond Riverdale, and how much this genre could be her path to becoming a bonafide J-Lo / Jen Aniston type superstar. Overall, a fun relaxing watch, with some good laughs and some warm fuzzy feelings by the end.

A light, lovely romantic comedy with great acting, believable chemistry between loves, friends and "foes", enthralling to the romantic mind score and gorgeous photography of London and its auctions world and expositions.

All that are made in a tight and lovely production that I don't care how much realism it bears, cause as long as I "walked by and with" Ana played by the talented and loca beautiful Camila Mendes, I got the pleasure to live for a brief period a beautiful fictive life on Futons, staring at "swans" drawn with squares, circles and triangles all in cute lively colors, have a sit in first class, rest like an emperor and breath the fresh, humid air of London.

It's a rom-com movie for romantic people and you could see the difference between the superior 'Upgraded' and the lesser in terms of entertainment, loveliness and chemistry as 'Anyone but You'.

There should be a law against movies like this one. I understand that there are people out there who have absolutely nothing going on in their lives and to them this movie might even make sense but for crying out loud, for the rest of us, this is just a waste of time. Everything in this movie was so painfully predictable. No originality, no chemistry, nothing. Everyone tried to make something out of nothing but this movie was made to be a boring nothing from the beginning so there was nothing to save here.

More predictable than the rest of this senten....

Does Netflix really have nothing better they could spend their money on??

Not much to review here. It's a cookie cutter movie.

Look, was this the best show ever? No. Has this scenario been done to death? Yes. Was it delusional to think that someone can get away with this? Also, yes. Was this movie predictable? Again, yes. But it did have some subtle charm and familiarity even though we all knew how it was going to end.

I also don't mind a movie that is predictable as long as it's done well and overall I find that this movie was done well.

A shout out to Camila Mendes (Ana). I really didn't like Riverdale but she played her character well. She did an amazing job playing the poor protagonist in this movie. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does next.

Archie Renaux (William) did a great job. I don't think I've seen him in anything before. He did a great job of playing the grounded rich kid that wasn't intoxicated by his wealth. I really appreciated that.

Marissa Tomei did an amazing job. My favourites were Lena Olin (Catherine) and Anthony Head (Julian Marx). They did a great job. Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Amy) was great too. I loved her in Derry Girls.

You gotta just take this movie for what it is and go on with life. It's not that serious.
