| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesSuch a fun, enjoyable and funny romantic comedy it probably would have been the biggest box office hit in the genre since The Proposal. Lucky for Netflix and its viewers. |
| Village VoiceMonica CastilloWhile the plot is familiar, Katie Silberman’s witty script plays with expectations. |
| We Live EntertainmentAshley MenzelSet It Up is delightful and a nod to the classic romantic comedies that we all know and love. With two perfect leads cast in Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell, Set It Up is sure to have you grinning from ear to ear from start to finish. |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanWith enjoyable performances from its actors, Set It Up will set you up for a fun time. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Kiera AllenAt a run-time of an hour and forty-five minutes, the fast pace of the film never drops as the momentum is held by the energetic spirits of both Powell and Deutch. |
| Little White LiesElla KempClaire Scanlon's Manhattan meet-cute is a bouncy comedy with plenty to say about modern relationships. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeIt’s the stars who have to work hardest to sell this kind of egg-white confection, and so they do. Having both charmed individually in previous vehicles, Deutch and Powell combine to winkingly wholesome effect, bringing just enough human self-awareness to their tidy back-and-forth banter to make it palatable. |
| AwardsCircuit.comChristopher JamesIt's the best version of what a Netflix movie should be. ... Overall, Set It Up is the most delightful way one could spend a lazy afternoon or cozy date night in. |
| The Cinema SoloistAdriana Gomez-WestonSet It Up is one of Netflix's latest original films, and one of its best attempts. A tribute to the romantic comedies of yesteryear, Set it Up is filled with some modern twists, but it remains simple and sweet enough for a wide audience to enjoy. |
| ThrillistEsther ZuckermanIt's not perfect, certainly, but it's an emotional support blanket of a film, an old-fashioned rom-com led by stars with palpitating chemistry. |
