Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell) are overworked assistants under tyrannical bosses in the same Manhattan office building. Harper's boss Kirsten Stevens (Lucy Liu) is a hard hitting ESPN reporter. Charlie's boss Rick (Taye Diggs) is pissed over his difficult divorce. Harper and Charlie have a meet cute over a lunch order for their bosses. In order to save their personal lives, they decide to parent-trap their bosses and distract them from working so hard.

This is a fun rom-com. I love that Harper and Charlie are also trying to dissect rom-coms when parent-trapping their bosses. Creepy Tim is hilarious. Deutch and Powell make for a fun couple non-couple. They have great chemistry that could go either way. I might get rid of the girlfriend a beat earlier. It would probably heat up their relationship a little faster. P.S. She should write about people she knows at Yankees Stadium instead of the geriatric Olympians.

After hearing a couple of good reviews, I figured I needed to check this out. With theatrical rom-coms dying off, one does wonder if there are survivors in a hidden oasis. I don't know if Netflix is that oasis since the good ones seem to be the exceptions. Nevertheless, it's nice to see a good one. I've never heard of the director or the writer. This is not going to win any Oscars but it is a return to good rom-coms. There are some good laughs and endearing characters.

Considering how some bosses react to being manipulated ... actually most are not really into the idea of being manipulated. Of course there are exceptions as always. But the movie is not so much about giving you a real reality. It gives you the romantic yet silly version of something. In building up its own tone, it should be clear where this is heading and how it tries to make you smile.

Having said all that, you'll buy into it or be annoyed by it (see my first point). Hopefully you can have fun and can be relaxed about most things happening here. A lot of coincidences, a lot of mishaps and other things that can be considered funny because this is a movie and not reality ... I trust you can make that distinction. I had fun and the charisma of the leads (especially Zooey - I'm sure many know what I mean, she shines through in so many ways) elevates this above other similar themed movies.

Like a Hallmark movie if Hallmark had a bigger budget and actually acknowledged there's this thing called sex that people sometimes have.
