I didn’t know what to expect with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein’s romantic comedy. I just trust Goldstein to write a charming comedy, and I have complete faith in Lopez’s ability to sell a romantic comedy. She’s a master at it. I knew the chemistry between them would be electric. Nonetheless, many of the recent romantic comedies haven’t impressed me, so I went into Office Romance with low expectations.
However, I found myself delighted, especially because it isn’t the traditional romantic comedy. It’s absurd in so many ways, but I think screenwriters Brett Goldstein and Joe Kelly deciding to make a non-traditional romantic film actually makes it fit well into the genre.
