Description: Is the romantic comedy dead? It’s a question many fans of the genre have been asking themselves over the years following its heyday in past decades. There have been glimmers of hope for the genre here and there, though, whether that be Anyone But You’s recent box office success or the release of Upgraded, which just landed on Amazon Prime. When CinemaBlend spoke to the new movie’s director, she shared just how much attention she and the filmmakers paid to the rom-coms of the past we all have fallen for over and over… and over.<br/><br/>Carlson Young helmed Upgraded, with this being her second feature film and first romantic comedy. The director is also an actress who was part of the Scream TV series, among a number of credits over the years.
