Set It Up

A pretty standard rom-com with a simple setup: two assistants scheme to make their bosses fall for each other, and, of course, end up falling for each other too. Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s not offensive either. Even with a cast that’s more third-tier Hollywood, it still works. Zoey Deutch is pretty charming, and the whole thing has that easy-going vibe of an American comedy that’s not super hilarious, but enjoyable enough for a relaxing watch. (19.06.2020)

You know exactly how it's going to turn out and you can even guess where it’s all going. And that's exactly how it happens. And yet you're not disappointed or bored. And that's actually the nice thing about it. I like it when a movie lives up to my expectations, doesn't let me down, has what I want to happen, and ends the way I want it to end. It's a good feeling. And I don't get the sense from this film that it was intended to be anything more. Just a good movie like we know it. 3 stars. (22.10.2018)

Actually a day later I completely forgot I'd seen this movie; if I hadn't glanced at FilmBooster I wouldn't have remembered. Which I guess in a nutshell tells you how the movie is. Nothing outstanding, doesn't make you think deeply about anything, nobody gives any special acting performance. It's just a disposable romantic comedy. And it's not bad, just... very average.
