Winter is, honestly, a terrible season. Recent storms have completely messed up my planned viewing schedule, which is why I missed a review last week. But thankfully, I didn’t miss any of the Loveuary movies. The next one up is Return To Office. Because that is all what we really wanted, right? To go back to our corporate offices instead of working from home.
Liv (Janel Parrish) is an executive at a tech company that has just acquired an artistic social media company owned by Tom (Scott Michael Foster). When the head of the tech company forces everyone to go back to the office, Liv points out that there are not enough desks for everyone. The solution is to have all of the employees share desks. One group of people will use the desks on Mondays and Wednesdays, while the other will be in on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Liv and Tom, unknowingly, end up sharing a desk. They leave each other messages via post-it notes. Eventually, they end up falling in love.
Return To Office had it’s cute moments. But most of these are solely when Liv and Tom are talking via post-it note/text app. When they are actually in the room together, they are a little annoying. Granted, this is the trope. People who hate each other in real life unknowingly fall in love. I think the problem is that Parrish and Foster don’t really have any chemistry. They are perfectly fine as separate characters but they should not be in a relationship.
