There’s a reason Brett Goldstein wrote Office Romance specifically for Jennifer Lopez to star in. In the early aughts, the actress cemented her place as one of the queens of the rom-com genre alongside the likes of Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock. “We wrote it because she’s the best rom-com actor, and day one, I was like, ‘We made the right decision,’” Goldstein told Swooon. “She’s f**king brilliant.”
It’s pretty much an indisputable fact that J.Lo’s lengthy catalog, from The Wedding Planner to Maid in Manhattan, helped define the romantic comedy genre we all know and love.
