Such a bizarre movie, I'm really not sure how to rate it. Before watching this movie, you absolutely need to know that this is a parody of romantic comedies. If you're expecting a standard romantic comedy, you're going to be reallySuch a bizarre movie, I'm really not sure how to rate it. Before watching this movie, you absolutely need to know that this is a parody of romantic comedies. If you're expecting a standard romantic comedy, you're going to be really confused. The movie extremely outwardly and blatantly makes fun of itself throughout. It's very bizarre, but if you know what to expect, it is very funny. I laughed out loud many times...and also yelled things like "what the hell?!?" at the TV several times because weird things kept happening that wouldn't in real life with real people. Characters break the fourth wall making it hard to believe that the characters are real people, so empathy is difficult, so this movie is mainly just for the laughs. It has a fantastic cast with more familiar faces than I could name. Throughout the whole thing, I kept thinking "This really reminds me a lot of Wet Hot American Summer." Afterwards, I looked it up, and yep, I was right, same writer and director....partially the same cast (with lots of other people we all know from assorted sitcoms showing up.) So, if you're a fan of Wet Hot American Summer, like quirky comedies, and like to laugh at the conventions of typical romantic comedies, then the movie is worth watching. Expand

Alright, I'll commend the start and, even, the premise. The film reaches a point of pure blatancy that proves to be neither humorous, entertaining or anything else.

This movie sucks on a level I never thought was possible.

I could go on about the paper thin characters, the phoned in acting, and the terrible presentation but at the end of the day that’s not the key thing to talk about when reviewing a comedy. This movie was not funny. 99% of the humor in this film failed it was ever a joke that feel flat or was just plain stupid and none of it was memorable. For as dumb as something like Movie 43 was at least some of the **** in that movie was memorable and I still remember it. At least it made me laugh. This movie is trying to be a parody of cheesy romance movies but while it is overly cheesy none of it leads to great comedy or satire of the genre and the cheesiness hurts the movie more than it helps it resulting in a movie that is even worse than the films it is trying to satirize. But the biggest sin this movie has made is its lack of lasting appeal. This movie is bland and forgettable with nothing memorable about it. For all the bad movies (specifically comedies like Movie 43) I’ve seen some of them were memorable and even if its for the wrong reasons I still remember them and their **** This movie on the other hand has none of that. I saw it once, I’ll never see it again, come tomorrow I won’t remember it and come a week and I’ll forget about it. And if there’s one thing you don’t want people to do is forget about your movie. I’m not going to recommend this film to anybody. I mean I’m not into romantic comedies but this isn’t me hating on a genre I don’t like this is me hating on a bad movie. So do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time with this movie. This is a bad movie that deserves to be ignored and forgotten. Expand

You have your next (cult) classic comedy. I haven't laughed this hard
maybe ever. Will the film hold up on repeat viewings? I'm not sure. But
this is just ingenious comedy writing. It's the wackiest film I've ever
seen in my life.

Every single scene is a satire of something in an actual romantic
comedy. Yet, that would get old quick if the scenes didn't have INSANE
jokes too. Luckily, the scenes do.

This movie isn't going to be for everyone as I can see the rating is at
like a 6.2/10. But if you like wacky humor and you liked the movies I
listed above, I would give this movie a chance. Seek it out in theaters
when it comes more widely available. It certainly is way better than
the previews suggested and most of the other big budget summer films
coming out this year.

While I love Amy Poeher and Paul Rudd, this movie was spotty at best. It has just enough comedy to make it watchable and while Poeher and Rudd by themselves make it funny, overall it was a bizzare spoof of romantic comedies.

Really bad; and we pretty much like everything to some degree. Toilet humor; literally. Adolescents may be slightly amused. Comedy has reached an all-time low.

I went into this movie not realizing it was a satire rom com. I love the old leslie nielson movies but just couldn't get into this movie. Great cast from a lot of shows I really like but this was rough to watch. For me it was like a bad SNLI went into this movie not realizing it was a satire rom com.

For me it was like a bad SNL skit made into a feature length film. barley made it through 10 min skipped a scene to see if the movie got better but its the same stuff throughout. Possibly the worst movie ive seen. Expand

Calling all Wet Hot American Summer fans! Complete with Christopher Meloni's strangeness. Unexpected jokes abound, an off-beat comedy perfection. Great stuff here. If you don't get it, you're not ready for it.

A spotty spoof comedy that hits just enough for a mild recommendation. I'm not a big fan of this genre, but with great leads and a script that at least makes you laugh at times this one is passable. B-

And like Airplane it's not afraid to throw out other bizarre non-sequiturs jokes as well. Just when you think it's settled down, it throws another punch out of the blue. This movie deserves to be a cult classic, but I wish it was better received so other movies would learn from it... instead we'll no doubt end up with another ______ Movie in the next six months instead.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. They Came Together is a delightfully smart romantic comedy filled with absurdity and incredibly dry humour. The story is unsure whether it is a parody or pastiche film, and at some times it is a bit messy. Just remember that this film is meant to be a parody of films like You've Got Mail, nothing more. The supporting cast is not used to their potential, particularly Bill Hader and Ellie Kemper, but the chemistry of Paul Rudd and Amy Poelher bring this cliched film literally to higher levels of entertainment. Definitely a very intelligent and enjoyable comedy. Expand

This spoof comedy could of been funny if had some decent jokes.
A pretty poor effort from all involved.
