Office Romance | Is It a Classic Rom-Com or Raunchy Comedy?

This week, we watched Office Romance, Netflix’s latest “romantic comedy” starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. Brett, who also co-wrote the film, set out to "make an old-school rom-com" ... but did he actually accomplish his goal? We let you know what we think.

Before we dive into the movie, we kick things off with our Week 1 recap of Love Island USA, because there, OF COURSE, there's already plenty to discuss.

Then we get into our full review of Office Romance. We share what worked, what didn’t, and what we think a movie needs in order to earn “classic rom-com” status. We discuss Jennifer Lopez’s performance, her chemistry with Brett Goldstein, whether the romance itself actually worked, and the scenes that left us absolutely FLABBERGASTED.

Along the way, we end up having a bigger conversation about British vs. American rom-coms, differences in humor, and whether men and women tend to approach romance stories differently. We also unpack the film’s mixed audience reception, and whether it successfully balances romance and comedy.

As always, we don’t hold back. You’ll hear our honest, unfiltered thoughts.

Come debrief with us and share your thoughts, too! Did Office Romance work for you?
