Set It Up follows the long-established outlines of the rom-com template -- and in the process, proves there's still substantial pleasure to be wrought from familiar formulas.

Director Claire Scanlon...gets everyone leaning into their roles, and Deutch is a particular delight.

Claire Scanlon's Manhattan meet-cute is a bouncy comedy with plenty to say about modern relationships.

It's wildly predictable and a little cheesy. And yet, it's an absolute gem of a movie.

Deutch and Powell are so good together that they should be making more movies together à la Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, or Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling — it’s what we deserve.

Set It Up is filled with crazy challenges for the assistants to overcome to keep their bosses happy and together, all while navigating their own personal problems. It’s a fun movie that’s easy to watch, so I recommend anyone with Netflix give it a try.

Cinematic comfort food at it’s finest, both Deutch and Powell are charisma machines and a total joy to watch.

The plot seems familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Overall, such a sweet movie with beautiful actors and actresses

Other than a few cringe-worthy moments near the end, this was a thoroughly enjoyable ride. A classic New York centric rom-com with good acting all around. Thumbs up.

Couldn’t finish? Had high hopes but it was just a bit bland. The chemistry between the two leads was not engaging enough.

Absolutely adorable and Zoey Deutch is gold in this. Its pure comedic timing and chemistry between the leads set itself so far ahead than the other romcoms of its time.
