Movies that feel likeSet It Up (2018)

Two overworked and underpaid assistants come up with a plan to get their bosses off their backs by setting them up with each other.

If you loved Set It Up, the closest films we have are Trainwreck (2015), Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and Obvious Child (2014). All three share Set It Up's romantic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You (2020).
