This film tells the story of two couples having a dinner, discussing their relationship issues. One couple recounts how they met each other, and the circumstances were just like a romantic comedy."They Came Together" is really full of surprises. The vast number of recognisable faces is in itself a fun, giving viewers surprises regularly. The jokes are quite funny, actually I think the plot is funny because it is a deliberately bad film, that it is so bad that it becomes good. The scene of people suddenly taking out champagne glasses from under the conference table is very funny. And Amy Poehler taking a bowl of pasta from the floor in her shop is also funny. These scenes are so unlikely, yet they are funny just because of that. The ending is a big surprise as well, I did not see that question coming! I enjoyed watching "They Came Together".

I was looking forward to watching this. Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler should equal comedy brilliance.Umm… yeah… no!It was boring, stupid, didn't laugh once and just a complete waste of time. I can't think of one good thing to say about this film.It has a mix of people I like (Rudd, Poehler, Christopher Meloni, Cobie Smulders, Bill Hader and Ellie Kemper) and people that I don't (Ed Helms, Jack McBrayer and Ken Marino).I really hope at some point in the future, Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler find something a lot better to work on together.Don't waste your time with this!

The movie is making fun of every cliché that happens in a romantic comedy in a brilliant way. It is not a lousy weird parody that doesn't have its own storyline cause it does, it actually has a storyline about wisely created two characters that are probably made of every single character in boring, same old romantic comedy movies. There are not any specific jokes that turns the movie into any kind of movie that you can watch anytime you go to a theater but it is witty in a subtle way. There are times that it makes you laugh out loud but it is usually hilarious in a way that is not clearly obvious. Amy Poehler is clearly adorable and makes you smile and feel weirdly warm overtime she says something about being a ordinary romantic comedy "I am going to a break up but I will meet the man of my life in a few months" single woman. Paul Rudd is also hilarious because he has the perfect material for a classic romantic comedy that is made fun of in the movie but he is not going for it. He is actually going for the hilarious character that has every weird characteristic from romantic comedy men. It is a fun movie you can watch with people and have great time.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this movie. It seemed like it was going to poke fun at romcoms while still maintaining a grounded story and genuine romance. Yeah, that's not the case at all.They Came Together is the epitome of meta comedy. It never takes itself seriously for a second and continues to barrage you with joke after joke after joke, spoofing the same romantic comedy tropes we've seen a billion times. It may sound repetitive, and it can be at times (some scenes go on for too long) but it's also the most refreshing satire I've seen in a long time. There is no point where you should be analyzing the plot to this movie. If you do, you're an idiot. Simple as that. The movie is one long joke - if you want some artistic integrity in your comedies then this movie is not for you. If you love to laugh at the expense of cheesy romcoms, then you're in for a real treat.The acting in this movie is superb, if the all-star cast didn't already give that away. Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler are ace in their roles as lead caricatures, and even during the dumber moments they still give believable performances. Let me clarify: you don't believe anything the characters are doing are real, but they're convincing enough in their roles that you understand exactly what it is they're making fun of and it works wonders. Christopher Meloni is another highlight - he plays a Don Draper-esque boss that all the corporate drones follow blindly (with Paul Rudd's character being the obvious exception). I never viewed him as a comedic figure but he absolutely owns this role; the only other actor I can see doing this role justice is Jon Hamm himself. Other standouts include Jason Mantzoukas as Bob, the friendly awkward coworker, and Ed Helms playing the cliché douchebag that the girl falls for even though he's clearly wrong for her. The best part about They Came Together is that it's wholly self-aware. It breaks the fourth wall more than a few times, and it doesn't take you out of the movie because you're never really in the movie to begin with. It's like watching an 80 minute long sketch comedy held together by a flimsy love plot. Another positive is that the movie never gets boring. It's so short and so eccentric you don't have time to get bored. Again, it's joke after joke after joke - most of them are cheesy, some are crude, but they're all so relatable as romantic comedy jabs that you can't help but laugh at the stupidity. They Came Together is definitely not for everyone - if you're looking for substance, go somewhere else. This movie is pure satire from beginning to end. Nothing is believable, and none of it should be. It's a spoof movie at its core, standing head-and-shoulders above other spoofs due to great writing and a brilliant cast. Why this has such a low score on IMDb I will never know. I got everything I wanted from this movie and more. Throw in a few surprise cameos and you have yourself a winner.
