2009 · Movie · PG-13 · your starting pointIf you want that specific blend of fake-relationship scheming that accidentally becomes real, workplace power dynamics, and frantic romantic chaos, Set It Up is probably your closest match—it's got the same boss-assistant energy and backfiring-plan structure, though with two protagonists actively conspiring rather than being forced together. You might also vibe with No Hard Feelings or The Decoy Bride if you're after the mismatched-characters-in-absurd-circumstances tone, though neither quite nails that particular cocktail of workplace obligation, family pressure, and genuine-connection-against-the-odds that made The Proposal work.
