Over the course of their endeavors, Bianca incorporates a lot of what the friendship teaches her, while also recognizing her feelings for Wesley, ultimately culminating in a momentous happy, romantic ending.

Sasha and Marcus were childhood sweethearts who eventually would break up and drifted apart. So much so, that they wouldn’t meet each other for 15 years until one day they do.

Set It Up
Cast: Glen Powell, Zoey Deutch, Lucy Liu, Taye Diggs
Harper and Charlie are two overworked and underpaid assistants to Kirsten and Rick, two successful individuals who prevent their assistants from having a break due to all of the occupied slots that go into the assisting.
They both think that their bosses need to get off their backs and get laid, for them to finally be able to enjoy a break. A plot is concocted, and Harper and Charlie begin working together to make their bosses date each other.
As expected, the two would gradually begin to drift towards each other as well, and peculiar circumstances would turn into a classic rom-com delight once again.
