Romantic comedy fans who have binged Voicemails for Isabelle are being urged to watch another Netflix film, Set it Up, which has been hailed as an even better movie. The streaming giant released Voicemails for Isabelle on June 19, 2026, and it quickly climbed to Number 1 on the most-watched films chart. The story follows a grieving young woman, Jill (Zoey Deutch), who copes with the sudden loss of her sister Isabelle by leaving voicemails on her phone. Unbeknownst to her, Isabelle's number has been reassigned to a mysterious man named Wes (Nick Robinson), who gradually falls in love with Jill.
'Set it Up' outperforms with higher critical score
While Voicemails for Isabelle has an impressive 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, Set it Up boasts a rare 92% critics' rating. Released in 2018, Set it Up stars Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell as overworked assistants Harper and Charlie. After enduring brutal treatment at work, they devise a plan to set up their demanding bosses, Kristen (Lucy Liu) and Rick (Taye Diggs), hoping a romance will make their own work lives easier. However, the scheme sparks an unexpected connection between Harper and Charlie.
Fans praise the film as an instant classic
Despite featuring well-known actors, Set it Up may have flown under some viewers' radars. Those who discovered it upon release were completely won over. On IMDb, one fan praised: "Nah bc this is the best romcom in the past 10 years. A completely underrated romcom with perfect casting and so much heart. It's not as cheesy or cringey as the typical (especially Netflix original) rom com. They don't make them like this anymore unfortunately." Another viewer shared on Rotten Tomatoes: "It's a perfect emotional partnership that hits all the right notes. Brilliantly wholesome, with everything feeling just right, from LOL moments to the touching, relatable depth. A total feel-good escape that sticks with you long after."
Audience calls for more romcoms like 'Set it Up'
Yet another viewer wrote: "Not all rom-coms are good, there can either be good or very bad. I found this one definitely good and very worth watching as well. I hope it becomes an iconic classic rom-com at some point in time." Others dubbed the film an instant classic. On Letterboxd, a final fan 'begged for more', writing: "I'm just a girl... standing in front of a screen.. begging for Netflix to make more romcoms like this." Both Set it Up and Voicemails for Isabelle are currently streaming on Netflix.
