This is pretty good as a romantic comedy goes. It is part The Devil Wears Prada meets Cyrano de Bergerac (so drawing from a wide range). Harper and Charlie work for two driven and successful workaholics, one of who is now divorced and the other of whom hasn't dated in the foreseeable past. They require their assistants to be at their beck and call all the time, it is like the bad old days of medicine, where the only friends you could realistically have you saw at the hospital, everyone else was just not an option.
So Harper convinces Charlie they should set up their bosses and they will have more free time as a result because they will spend time with each other and not need them as much. This goes hilariously well, with a script that keeps the movie from being straight ahead formulaic, or at least entertainingly so, and what happens is pretty much what you would suspect. A tale of unsustainable relationships.
