Re: Set It Up Loved this! It's fairly formulaic but is elevated by the immensely charming two leads. Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell are both wonderful here and have great chemistry. I loved their characters and was rooting for them. Lucy Liu is also great here and it's clear that her and Taye Diggs are having a blast. Tituss Burgess is also fun in an extended cameo. As someone that has lived the 'assistant life' that this movie portrays it is also fairly accurate in that regard and has fun with the concept. A highly enjoyable summer treat, I wish it had gotten a theatrical release. It feels like a nice throwback to the rom-coms of the '90s/early 2000s. A-

Re: Set It Up Yeah I enjoyed this one so much. It is indeed a formulaic romantic comedy but the film is so charming, thanks mostly to its two leads. Both Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell are terrific. Honestly deserved a theatrical release. I kind of miss the days when a good old rom-com wasn't such a rare breed.
8/10 (B+/A-)

Re: Set It Up Yes I watched this last year after the recommendations in this thread. This is a very good movie with great performances all around. It is definitely the most "original" of Netflix output.
