The cast also includes Betty Gilpin, Tony Hale, Amy Sedaris, Edward James Olmos, and Bradley Whitford, adding more well-known names to the project.
The director also said this movie pushes further than Lopez’s earlier romantic comedies. He explained that it has a more daring tone compared to films like “Maid in Manhattan” and “The Wedding Planner,” while still keeping the romantic comedy style.
Lopez said the script was one of the main reasons she joined the project. She described it as a mix of humor, romance, and modern themes. In her words, “It is a com rom! It’s a classic romance, with modern, edgier humor,” and she added that the script felt special and different from her past rom-com work.
She also shared that she was already busy with other projects but still made time for this film because she wanted to be part of it.
Brett Goldstein also helped write the movie along with Joe Kelly. He said the idea of casting Lopez came early in the writing process. He said, “We started asking ourselves who the best rom-com star is, and without hesitation, we both said JLo,” and added that the script was built with her in mind from the beginning.
Lopez also spoke about her character, saying Jackie Cruz is very focused on work and not looking for romance at first. She noted that while she understands ambition, her real-life balance is different from the character she plays.
“Office Romance” is set to stream on Netflix starting June 5, as confirmed by the platform and reported through PEOPLE.
This film has a good setup because workplace romance stories always create tension and drama, and the pairing of Lopez and Goldstein feels fresh for this genre. It will be interesting to see if it leans more into comedy or serious emotional conflict. What do you think about Jennifer Lopez returning to romantic comedies with this kind of story?
