Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein lead Netflix rom‑com 'Office Romance
Netflix released the romantic comedy Office Romance on June 5. The film stars Jennifer Lopez as Jackie Cruz, the charismatic CEO and pilot of the airline Air Cruz, and Brett Goldstein as Daniel Blanchflower, a newly hired British in‑house lawyer. Goldstein co‑wrote the screenplay with Joe Kelly, shaping the story around a modern workplace romance that challenges traditional rom‑com tropes, including a subplot about a lawsuit over airline gate acquisitions.
The production highlights Lopez’s preparation for a bikini scene, which she said required consistent gym work and healthy eating. Goldstein discussed the on‑set chemistry and the pressure of appearing shirtless. Supporting cast members include Edward James Olmos as Jackie’s father and Betty Gilpin as a heavily pregnant executive assistant. Promotional material positions the film as a “love letter to workaholics,” while early reviews describe the movie as entertaining but uneven, noting its blend of adult humor and classic rom‑com formulas.
The release adds to Lopez’s roster of rom‑com titles and marks Goldstein’s first major acting role beyond his ‘Ted Lasso’ fame.
