Kelly Rowland and Method Man's chemistry in 'Relationship Goals' helps this classic romcom breeze by, but its message still feels dated. The film follows Leah, a successful morning TV producer played by Rowland, who finds herself in a rivalry with Jarrett, a charming rival played by Method Man, as they compete for the top job at their network.
The film's fast-paced direction and witty one-liners keep viewers engaged, despite its predictable plot. The supporting cast, including Leah's friends played by Annie Gonzalez and Robin Thede, add to the comedic relief. However, the film's portrayal of how TV news works is shaky at best.
A soundtrack featuring various artists, including Victoria Monét and the Doobie Brothers, helps distract from some of the more cringe-worthy moments, such as Leah putting Jarrett in danger for their romance. The PG-13 rating also raises questions about why this film was made to be a faith-based movie for women celebrating Valentine's Day alone.
At its core, 'Relationship Goals' is another take on marriage being the key to true happiness. With Michael Todd, a rising star in the prosperity gospel movement, as the inspiration behind the title and book, the film's message feels like a familiar trope.
Viewers may find themselves laughing at Rowland and Method Man's chemistry, but it's hard not to notice the dated message of this film. Despite its flaws, those who can look past its problematic themes will find 'Relationship Goals' to be an enjoyable romcom with some genuinely funny moments.

. They're trying so hard to make it relatable and funny, but the message of marriage being the key to happiness is just... meh 
. And can we talk about how they made it PG-13 and then marketed it as a "faith-based" movie? I get where they were going with that, but it feels like they're trying too hard to fit into a certain box 
. The supporting cast is the real MVPs though - Annie Gonzalez and Robin Thede bring the laughs every time 
. And let's be real, Kelly and Method Man's chemistry is undeniable 
... even if the rest of the movie can't quite live up to it 
.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE FILM'S MESSAGE IS SO DATED... LIKE, WE GET IT, MARRIAGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS OR WHATEVER. 
I MEAN, WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT BY NOW?! 
but like the message of the film is a bit outdated, you feel? it's all about finding true love through marriage and stuff which is kinda cliché. and don't even get me started on how they portray tv news 
. anyway i enjoyed the movie despite its flaws and that soundtrack is fire 
! The fast-paced direction and witty one-liners definitely made me laugh, but at the same time, I couldn't shake off the feeling that some of the jokes were a bit too cheesy 
. It's 2025, folks! We're living in a time where relationships come in so many different shapes and sizes, and it's great to see romcoms catching up.
.
. The movie's not bad, it's got some funny moments, but... I mean, the message feels really outdated? Like, marriage being the key to true happiness? That's a thing from like, grandma's time?
