Set It Up (2018)

Set It Up (2018) is a new rom-com from Netflix. It’s a simple plot, delivered in a fun way by Director Claire Scanlon.

Many of us who have had bad bosses or ill-mannered clients have thought about why these individuals with power are so demeaning to us – and whether there is anything we can do to make their lives better that will make the boss nicer to everyone around them.

When two young assistants, Ms Harper and Mr Charlie, working for Ms Kristine and Mr Rick, face this problem, they conspire to get their two bosses to hook up. Their plan to get their bosses to have a social life, hence out of the office early, initially works out well, and Harper and Charlie get free time to get to know each other well.

What should’ve been a routine romantic comedy gets a boost from fine acting by the lead pair – the charming Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell. 

Available on Netflix India.
