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.

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

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.

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-

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

A light but well-directed romantic comedy, They Came Together is more cerebral than comic but nevertheless it has a good dose of fun and good perfomances by their main characters; Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. It will not be a fundamental workA light but well-directed romantic comedy, They Came Together is more cerebral than comic but nevertheless it has a good dose of fun and good perfomances by their main characters; Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd. It will not be a fundamental work in their careers but at least fulfills its mission to entertain.… Expand

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