What do you get when you mix Cyrano, The Parent Trap, and two insanely charming leads? You get “Set It Up”, the Netflix rom-com that had us yearning for the days of classic romantic comedies.
Push play and hear all about:
Workplace romances that don’t make us feel bad and don’t require an HR intervention
Meet cutes, friends to lovers, grand gestures, and other common tropes that are given a modern touch
Why this movie hits differently when you’ve been a burnt-out 20-something (or just a busy entrepreneur)
A scheme that we surprisingly don’t hate but also like that there are consequences?
If you’ve been seeking a lighthearted romantic comedy where the main characters aren’t horrible people who don’t deserve happiness, then hit that subscribe button!
