Jennifer Lopez’s Office Romance is all set to debut on Netflix on June 5, 2026. The romantic comedy also stars Brett Goldstein and follows two workaholics who start a secret office romance and the shenanigans that ensue. The Netflix movie is directed by Ol Parker, known for the musical Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
Lopez has had a string of releases in the past few years, while she also worked on her ninth album, This is Me…Now, which was released in 2024. While Office Romance promises to be a decent romantic comedy, her previous films have not received great responses. Here are the last five movies from Lopez, ranked based on their IMDb rating.

Before Office Romance, Jennifer Lopez’s last romantic comedy was Shotgun Wedding. Starring Lopez along with Josh Duhamel, the film saw the duo playing Tom and Darcy, whose wedding gets invaded by pirates and leads to a hostage situation. What follows is an action romantic comedy involving guns, weddings, and pirates.
While the film’s premise is interesting and quirky, and the lead couple’s chemistry was appreciated, the flimsy plot and jokes were some of the major criticisms. The film has a 5.5 rating on IMDb, bringing it to the lower end of the list. Lopez’s return to the rom-com genre, however, was appreciated.
4. The Mother (2023) – 5.7

Netflix’s The Mother was an action turn for Jennifer Lopez as she played a former army operative on the search for her daughter after a kidnapping. The film was directed by Niki Caro and was the sixth most-watched Netflix movie of all time at the time of release in 2023 (via Hollywood North Buzz). However, the viewing numbers do not speak to its quality.
While fans appreciated the genre turn for Lopez, who was also a producer on the project, the film was criticized for relying on cliches and a lack of emotional connection. Lopez’s action sequences were praised, with many saying that the role fits her. It only got a 5.7 rating on IMDb.
3. Atlas (2024) – 5.7

Jennifer Lopez continued her streak with Netflix, with the sci-fi action film Atlas. The film, which she also co-produced, saw her back in action mode, playing a counter-terrorism analyst who goes to the field to stop a rogue AI robot from wreaking havoc in the world. The film was successful on Netflix, raking up 28.2 million views (via TV Insider).
However, the film was critically panned, getting a 5.7 rating on IMDb. Many praised Lopez’s performance as an action hero, but criticized the generic plot and Netflix’s lack of originality. The film was also criticized for not saying anything meaningful or picking a side in the Artificial Intelligence debate.
2. Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) – 5.7
On the heels of political musical dramas like Emilia Pérez, which attracted awards (and a lot of criticism), Jennifer Lopez starred in the musical Kiss of the Spider Woman. The film also starred Tonatiuh and Diego Luna in lead roles as a pair of prisoners. It followed a film-within-a-film format, with Lopez playing a starlet.
Despite being helmed by musical veteran Bill Condon, known for Chicago, Dreamgirls, and Beauty and the Beast, the film got a mixed response and only scored 5.7 on IMDb. Reviews talked about the lack of a soul in the film despite the grand sets and vision.
The film follows Tonatiuh’s character, Luis Molina, who is a trans woman imprisoned along with a political dissident, played by Diego Luna. As they spend time as inmates, Luis recounts her favorite movie, the eponymous Kiss of the Spider Woman. Some criticized the uneven pacing of the film, also pointing out that it fails to commit to one theme.
1. Unstoppable (2024) – 6.8

Jennifer Lopez’s best-rated film in the past few years is the sports drama Unstoppable. Starring Lopez, along with Jharrel Jerome and Michael Peña, the film sees Jerome’s Anthony Robles, a real-life athlete who was born with one leg and still beat all odds to become a wrestling champion.
Despite the cliche plot elements and formulaic screenplay, the performances of the lead trio, Jerome, Lopez, and Peña, were appreciated. The film has a 6.8 rating on IMDb. Lopez plays Anthony’s mother, Judy, and nails her role as a concerned yet fierce mom.
Jennifer Lopez has been consistently releasing movies and documentaries, either as a producer or as the lead star and producer. While not all of the films have been hits, she is still creating a diverse filmography for herself.
