Jennifer Lopez’s Office Romance Debuts on Netflix as Leads Deny Real‑World Relationship

Early reviews highlight strong performances, flag concerns over mismatched chemistry, a predictable script, divisive R‑rated material.

Overview

  • The film began streaming on Netflix Friday, June 5, and its launch has driven a new wave of reviews and publicity.
  • Stars Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein publicly denied dating during promotion after visible on‑screen rapport and tabloid speculation.
  • Critics repeatedly praised Lopez’s lead turn and Betty Gilpin’s scene‑stealing supporting role while saying the script leans on familiar rom‑com beats.
  • Several reviewers faulted weak or uneven chemistry between the leads and pointed to explicit R‑rated sexual humor and a graphic office birth scene as polarizing elements.
  • Office Romance was written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly with Lopez in mind and is part of a recent trend of star‑led, nostalgia‑tinged rom‑coms going straight to streaming, a move that keeps the genre alive on platforms but also concentrates publicity around actors’ off‑screen lives.
