It's difficult to accept Jennifer Lopez as the head of an airline. I realize this might sound premature, but the people behind Office Romance (2026) apparently didn’t have much faith in that idea either. Even more unbelievable is the notion that Jackie Cruz (Lopez) can trigger strong reactions simply by shaking someone's hand. What exactly is her role supposed to be? Some kind of Blue Pill Fairy? Maybe they should have cast her as the CEO of Pfizer instead. I’m truly confused. The movie seems to want us to believe Jackie is being unfairly targeted by a lawsuit claiming she gained a major business deal through inappropriate relationships. Yet, at the same time, the script portrays her as a literal object of desire—not unlike the Orgasmatron from Sleeper. Maybe that lawsuit isn't quite as "frivolous" as they want us to think. As Nickelback once put it, “she didn’t make it this far just by shaking hands.” Though, admittedly, she might have gotten where she did because of her family connections. Aside from dealing with the lawsuit and revising the company's policy on workplace relationships, Jackie isn't really shown doing much in the way of running a business. The filmmakers deserve some recognition for one thing: when Jackie is faced with choosing between her career and her relationship, she tries to have both. I’d suggest she might be better off prioritizing her job if I only knew what that involved, but at least the film acknowledges that a woman can manage both professional and romantic commitments. Sadly, this all feels like an excuse to normalize sexual misconduct in the workplace. Jackie may eventually find Daniel Blanchflower's (Brett Goldstein) behavior—an unintended erection while he’s pointing at her—amusing or even flattering, and she might be willing to overlook it because he's a skilled lawyer, but it still sends a troubling message. Walking around a business with an erection is practically inviting another lawsuit. Should we release Harvey Weinstein from prison and give him his job back? Ultimately, Jackie decides that workplace relationships are permissible “as long as they are declared.” She reaches this conclusion only after she begins a relationship with an employee herself; it seems she didn't see the problem until it personally affected her. What happens when Jackie and Daniel split up? Will she reverse her policy on interoffice romances then? And why must these relationships be "declared"? It sounds like employees have a right to privacy, provided they make that private life public—something they seem very eager to do. The entire point of this development leads to a scene during the closing credits in which several employees share graphic details about their sex lives with the HR representative, even after he makes it clear he doesn’t want to hear them. Isn't that a form of sexual harassment? That seems like another lawsuit waiting to happen—thankfully Jackie has “the best lawyer in Jersey and the world.”
