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.
