When I heard there was a solid Netflix original rom-com film coming out I had a few thoughts. One, Netflix makes good original films? Because from what I've seen, they tend to do a whole lot better on the television side of things. And the second thing I thought of was the severe lack of great romantic comedies there are in this age of film. So when I hear of a good one, I try and jump on it as soon as possible. Set It Up follows some rom-com cliches, but makes them their own by creating a freshly original plot inside an office building. The "set it up" part of the film feels like something you've seen a thousand times, but the combination of Zoey Deutch's irresistible charm and Glen Powell's breakout comedically, Set It Up is easily one of the most thoroughly enjoyable films of 2018. It takes 30 minutes before the film picks up comedically and dramatically, but once it does I found myself laughing out loud more than once. It's an easy 100 minute watch that neither demands too much from an audience but also doesn't dumb anything down. Admittedly, they succeed more in making you laugh than cry, but I will always be down to watch actors display great chemistry in any setting, but it especially impresses romantically.
