They Came Together (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

There is a plot synopsis on the back of the DVD cover, so it is hard to spoil the plot, which wasn't important. Raul Rudd plays Robert Hays in this spoof of Romantic comedies. There were lines which made me chuckle while there were boring predictable scenes like the one in the bar which was pointless and seemed endless. The scene with his grandmother could have been left out. Its crudeness lacked humor, especially since they did a similar scene just before that.The dialogue was bad by design, especially the end speech by Rudd, which in reality would have never worked. While the film has hit and miss humor, it is no "Airplane" which was an iconic film.I liked how they tried to work in metaphors which are overly used, especially in Indie films. I was amused by the film, had some chuckle out loud moments, and had some scenes making me look for the remote. No belly laughs. Worth renting for a laugh.Parental Guidance: F-bomb, comedy sex, no nudity.

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.

They Came Together is a spoof on traditional rom-coms, and it mixes traditional jokes and skits with completely random acts of silliness and quirky facial expressions. To me, the genius of comedy directors and actors is revealed by the attention to details, and there are tons of amazingly funny details in this movie. You can watch it several times and still discover new ones. If you wanna make sure you get a lot of them, keep your eyes on Paul Rudd, who is a master at this type of subtle comedy.They Came Together is without a doubt one of the funniest movies I've ever watched. I laughed out loud several times and was entertained the whole way through. If you can watch this movie without laughing, you must be dead inside.

The most important thing to point out is you shouldn't watch this movie unless you've watched your fare amount of romcoms and felt a little guilty about it. I think this is a perfect romcom parody, with so much content that sometimes it may feel a bit too much, but didn't fail to make me laugh anyway. It has a perfect ending which is not predictable, it's funny, and, gives closure to the story. It's full of very funny actors who give great performances, every one of them makes you laugh at least once. It's a great movie just to have a good time and laugh a lot.
