Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4889308, member: 833"] [B]Set It Up (Netflix) [/B]is what a romcom is supposed to be. Fun, funny, original enough to not be boring but not complicated that I have to give it 100% of my attention. Glen Powell and Zoey Deutch are good in the lead roles. They are fun, not intimidating, and seem like regular people. Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu are entertaining as their cartoonishly horrible bosses. Unlike a lot of romcoms, where I realize I can't stand one or both of them and am rooting for them NOT to get together (i.e. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days), Powell and Deutch are simply likable, which is an underrated quality in an actor, and it makes their characters likable. It doesn't matter that the plot is completely predictable, because if you are watching this movie, you are not looking for a thriller. Good movie to have on in the background if you are working late.
