Netflix released the romantic comedy film 'Office Romance' starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein on its streaming platform [1, 2]. The film is written by Brett Goldstein and directed by Ol Parker [1, 2].
Jennifer Lopez plays Jackie Cruz, the chief executive of an airline company that enforces a strict no-dating policy [1, 2]. Brett Goldstein portrays Daniel Blanchflower, a member of the airline’s legal team who develops a romantic relationship with Jackie [1, 2].
Lopez was initially hesitant to join the project due to scheduling conflicts but accepted after receiving a script that was tailored specifically for her [1]. Ahead of the release, Lopez and Goldstein promoted the film during a May photo shoot in Los Angeles [1].
Reports have circulated suggesting that Lopez and Goldstein might be dating in real life, but these rumors remain unconfirmed [2].
Critical reception has been mixed. The film holds a 51% critic score and 51% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 6 out of 10 rating on IMDb [2]. RogerEbert.com criticized the film's dialogue as "coming out of an R-rated fortune cookie" and noted the credit scenes extend the experience unnecessarily [2]. The AV Club wrote that the romance feels "tenuous at best" and the comedy falters by mistaking oversharing for humor, calling it an unsatisfying comeback for Lopez [2].
Netflix continues to stream 'Office Romance' for viewers seeking a light romantic comedy with star power. The film will remain available on the platform without announced plans for additional promotional events or sequels [1, 2].
