5 rom-coms like Set It Up that are available on Netflix nowAdd us as a preferred source on Google »

It's the feel good viewing of the summer.

Last week, Netflix released Set It Up - and 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. So, if you're staying in this Saturday night, we have taken a look at five other similar movies you may want to check out....
