A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
A review of Netflix's 'Office Romance' starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein. The film follows a corporate CEO who falls for her lawyer in a workplace that bans relationships. The review notes Lopez as the "queen of the failing rom-com genre" and describes the film as more of a "raunchcom" than a traditional romantic comedy. Written by Ted Lasso vets Brett Goldstein and Joe Kelly specifically for Lopez, the movie attempts to revive the rom-com formula but leans heavily into raunchy humor.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledNo doubt Jennifer Lopez currently is queen of the failing rom-com genre, a once-vibrant Hollywood staple that studios sadly relegated mostly to streaming in recent times.
Lopez's latest Netflix confection, Office Romance, must have been irresistible for the star since Ted Lasso vets Brett Goldstein and Joe Kelly wrote it specifically for her.
The film is more raunchcom than romcom.
