RELATIONSHIP GOALS 🧳 (2026)

#PrimeVideo

“The question isn’t who’s going to let me, it’s who’s going to stop me!”

That’s the energy television producer Leah Caldwell (Kelly Rowland) is moving through New York City with, fully convinced her long-overdue promotion is finally within reach. Everything is lining up for her to become the showrunner of the city’s number one morning show, until the studio decides to shake things up by bringing in an external candidate they believe might be just as qualified.

That candidate? Leah’s ex, Jarret Roy (Cliff ‘Method Man’ Smith).

Because of course it is.

What’s worse than competing for the job you’ve worked your entire life for, only to have it threatened by the ex-boyfriend who broke your heart?
And that’s only one thread. There’s also Leah’s best friend, a morning anchor stuck playing WAG to a soon-to-be-retired NBA player, and the studio’s makeup artist, spiraling through dating apps, swiping right on every bodied-up guy in sight, only to get ghosted days later.

This movie is Galentine’s Day at its best, a story made for women stuck in relationships they’re pouring everything into, only to get absolutely nothing back in return.

RELATIONSHIP GOALS doesn’t just explore the ideal, super specific romance these women are aspiring to have. It leans into a “misery loves company” vibe, comedically reminding us that friendships can be just as worthy of being relationship goals too.

Faith-based romance films often risk coming off preachy, but this one simply, almost anecdotally, offers a few key insights, providing a different (if admittedly obvious) perspective on love and relationships. Then again, love is blind, and what’s obvious to one person can be completely invisible to another.

At its core, it’s a standard feel-good story with no prolonged plot points, just good old-fashioned rom-com tropes. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it damn well makes good use of it, largely thanks to the undeniable chemistry between Kelly Rowland and Method Man.

RELATIONSHIP GOALS isn’t trying to be anything more than what it is: a story about three middle-aged girlfriends trying to figure out their love lives—one failed swipe, situationship, and ex at a time. 

Enjoy!
