Harper (Zoey Deutch) and Charlie (Glen Powell) both have terrible bosses in SET IT UP. Harper's personal persecutor is Kristen (Lucy Liu), a celebrated sports reporter, who's as nasty as she is demanding. Charlie's oppressor is Rick (Taye Diggs), a venture capitalist who's as contemptible as he is egocentric. When Harper and Charlie meet while tending to their bosses' every whim, they come up with a unique solution: They'll fix up Kristen and Rick, since the two taskmasters really deserve each other. Their inventive plan works, but Harper and Charlie soon realize they can't rely on just introducing the two; they have to "babysit" the relationship and, in their own way, guide it from afar. In the process of saving their work lives, the two eager fixer-uppers end up spending a lot more time together than they anticipated. Charlie's romance with a model and Harper's fledgling fling with an online date are both compromised, as is their sense of integrity. When Kristen and Rick break up, the plotters' undertaking gets even harder -- so hard that they now spend time consoling each other. And everyone knows what that leads to.
