Romantic comedies often live and die by the charisma of their leads.
The new Netflix film Office Romance pairs rom-com veteran Jennifer Lopez with relative newbie
Brett Goldstein in a story about the hazards of falling for your boss.
The movie is jam-packed with MVPs in the supporting cast,
and it's a little raunchier than your average film of its kind.
And we're going to get into whether it works, how it fits into J-Lo's rom-com history,
and what, if anything, it's trying to say about relationships at work.

Hello, Brittany.
Hello.
It is so good to see you both.
Office Romance stars Jennifer Lopez as Jackie Cruz, the CEO of an airline.
When the company gets embroiled in a lawsuit, she meets Daniel, a lawyer who's just joined the airline.
They have instant chemistry, but because she's the CEO and the company has a zero-tolerance
policy for office relationships, they both try to put it aside.
But naturally, not for long, and romantic comedy complications follow.
