Plot Summary
When Joel (Paul Rudd) and Molly (Amy Poehler) meet, it's hate at first sight: his big Corporate Candy Company threatens to shut down her quirky indie candy shop. Plus, Joel is hung up on his sexy ex (Cobie Smulders). But amazingly, they fall in love, until they break up about two thirds of the way through, and Molly starts dating her accountant (Ed Helms). But then right at the end…well you'll just have to see. (Hint: Joel makes a big speech and they get back together.) From the director of Wet Hot American Summer, Wanderlust and Role Models comes a hilarious and irreverent subversion of the romantic comedy genre.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A series of hit-and-miss sketch-comedy bits rather than a fully realized movie that might have gutted contemporary rom-com cliches rather than just weakly aping them.
Fresh: They Came Together will likely appeal to rom-com fans as much as to those who find such films annoyingly cliched.
Fresh: "They Came Together" is occasionally very funny, and moderately funny the rest of the time. In mathematical terms that adds up to pretty funny or "funny enough."
Fresh: Rudd and Poehler keep "They Came Together" floating along on a cloud of barely winking humor and their characters' shared love of "fiction books," Q-tips and coffee.
Customer Reviews
Can I get a refund?
If I could get a refund, I would. A very lame attempt at trying to parody romantic comedies. Don't waste your money...trust me...it's awful.
Bad
This attempts to be funny with an interesting idea playing on all the cliche romantic comedies, but it just doesn't work. It's just not funny and totally infuriating to see these actors waste themselves on this material.
this is not a romantic comedy or even a comedy.
this film was awful. its bad attempt at parody resulted in a film that is too aware of itself to be funny or romantic. it just stinks. it's a waste of time and money.
