Upgraded - Budget Unknown - 1 hour and 45 minutes
Anna sleeps on her sister's futon and hopes for a better future. Her sister, Vivian, understands Anna needs help. But Vivian agrees with her fiance, Ronnie, that Anna overstayed her welcome. Anna has debt from her master's degree in art history and a horrible credit score. Anna dreams of opening a gallery after finishing her program with Claire. Claire heads the Erwins Auction House in New York and wants everything to be perfect. Anna runs to work, and Amy notices a stain on Anna's shirt. Anna hides the stain as Claire inspects the staff. Claire picks Anna and Amy to help with the auction until Claire sees Anna's stain and Amy's tattoo. Claire demotes them to handling out paddles and programs.
During the auction, Anna discovers that someone mislabeled one of the paintings. She runs past Claire's assistants, Suzette and Renee, and alerts Claire. Later, Claire fires the person for the mistake and praises Anna. Anna celebrates at a bar with Amy but discerns that praises don't equal more money. Anna doesn't know how this will help her career in the long run.
Claire calls Anna in the morning and invites Anna on a business trip to London today. Suzette tells Anna to leave for the airport now. Anna arrives, and Suzette and Renee make Anna carry their luggage. After they check in, Suzette tells Anna her flight isn't for another 4 hours and it's economy. They laugh as they walk away, but the ticket agent takes pity on Anna and upgrades her to first class.
Anna walks to the first-class lounge and gets comfortable with a bloody mary. She bumps into William and spills her drink on his pants and shoes. She offers to pay, but the concierge ushers him away. Anna boards her flight and hopes not to see William. But he sits beside her. They talk, and Anna learns William is an ad exec. Anna discusses the importance of heading an auction house, and William assumes that's her job. Anna decides not to correct him, and they continue to converse. Anne's white lie will affect her job, relationships, and living arrangements.
This movie is Cinderella and The Devil Wears Prada (FTC Affiliate Disclaimer). Renee and Suzette give Anna the dirty work in the dankest office and the worst accommodations. They think she wants to take their job. Then, Anna has to steal a dress and mask her identity to meet William and ingratiate herself with his family. While she walks a tightrope of lies with William, Anna continues to excel at work. She obtains hard-to-find tickets and nabs a reservation at the hottest restaurant. Both are something that Suzette and Renee fail to do for Claire. Anna becomes invaluable at her job and outshines the others. This film packs easy laughs without vulgarity and witty dialogue. It's perfect for rom-com fans who want some extra spice.
