As a pair of under-appreciated interns scheming to make their horrible bosses fall in love, Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell are a delightful duo, with easy, relaxed chemistry as they rip through Katie Silberman's surprisingly sharp, self-aware dialogue.

Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu are also great fun as the aforementioned bosses in a film that could hardly be called unpredictable, yet still manages to inject an uncommon amount of charm into a well-worn genre formula.
