2018 Movie
Dir. Claire Scanlon · United States of America · English
This movie is a complete no-brainer.
It follows two assistants in busy New York City, both of them overworked and underpaid. They come up with a plan to set up their bosses (Set it Up) so that when their bosses finally take some personal time together, they could too. In a lot of ways, it’s the perfect argument to anyone who says that the rom-com genre is dead. It’s light, it’s easy, and it’s entertaining.
At the same time, there is a heartwarming vibe that’s not too cliché, and a couple of well-known actors — Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs — that help carry the plot. Don’t expect to be mind-blown but this film will leave you feeling content.
Two overworked and underpaid assistants come up with a plan to get their bosses off their backs by setting them up with each other.
"Claire Scanlon's Manhattan meet-cute is a bouncy comedy with plenty to say about modern relationships."
— Ella Kemp
"Set It Up is a classic rom-com brought to life by a pair of wonderfully well-matched stars who seem to revel in the genre. This is cinematic comfort food, the kind we've been starving for."
— Kate Erbland

It’s bad, cheesy and boring
It’s kind of cute. I liked it, but only because I love Lucy Liu and don’t see her enough.
