Jennifer Lopez stars in Netflix rom‑com 'Office Romance' amid mixed reviews

Jennifer Lopez returns to the romantic‑comedy genre with the Netflix film "Office Romance," released on Friday. The movie co‑stars and co‑writes Brett Goldstein, known for "Ted Lasso," and follows the story of airline executive Jackie Cruz, who inherits a major carrier from her father and faces a lawsuit claiming her success is due to her looks rather than ability. While the chief lawyer falls ill, Jackie works with his deputy, Daniel, and a forbidden workplace romance develops despite rules against employee relationships.

Premiere events in New York and London have reignited speculation about a real‑life romance between Lopez and Goldstein, which the stars have denied. Critical response is divided: some reviewers, such as Benjamin Lee of The Guardian, gave the film two out of five stars for lacking balance, while others praised its light‑hearted entertainment value. Audiences are similarly split, with praise for its easy‑going fun and criticism of the script and on‑screen chemistry.

The film is available worldwide on Netflix, generating buzz across multiple markets.
