It’s the feel good viewing of the summer.

Last week, Netflix released Set It Upand it’s become one of their most talked-about films.

The movie follows two 20-something, over-worked assistants – Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell) – in the same office building that team up to set up their demanding, Miranda Priestly-esque (and single) bosses with each other in an effort to get them to ease up on the workload.

It’s got a meet-cute in an elevator, plenty of witty comebacks, a last minute dash to the airport – and, of course, one good smooch.

Since it was released on June 15, the movie has been hailed the most “wholesome and adorable” rom-com in years – and, just generally, the best one of the genre.
