Critics Consensus

They Came Together is surprisingly messy and perhaps too smart for its own good, but Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd's chemistry is enough to overcome many of the movie's flaws.

They Came Together is over-the-top stupid, in the most exuberant, silliest and, yet smartest of ways... but you'll only enjoy it if you get it, much like Airplane! and other classic goofball parodies.

It's still possible to make a spoof movie that is biting, merciless, clever, and (most importantly) uproariously funny.

B

Rom-com tropes like the ''meet-cute'' are so tired that you can't just spoof them -- you have to spoof the spoofs, which this winking David Wain-Michael Showalter parody mostly succeeds at doing.

4/5

The film is packed with smart humor, joke complexity, clever approaches, and an elaborate sense of story-building and delivery that most parodies lack.

…makes fun of rom-conventions while slavishly following them…

The jokes can be specific to a hermetic extreme: I don’t think the gag cutting from an exterior shot of the Strand bookstore to an interior that’s a smaller, different establishment might travel outside NYC, but it’s still a great niche joke...

Such a shame. I thought they had such a great cast but the movie was brutal to watch. Only part I found mildly funny was the judge Judy reveal. Skip this movie and watch Amy's A.C.O.D movie. Much better

This is a great movie. If you have a sense of humor and get the overall joke, you will love this movie.

I’m not sure why this movie was kept so low-key! I discovered it recently and it is HILARIOUS. The directors and writers of Wet Hot American Summer did this movie, and they did a great job, a lot of the same cast are in it. Great work, tons of ridiculous moments and laughs!

This review will be more, me gathering my thoughts after, than being helpful... for you, deciding whether to watch it, ok? and sorry. Basically, I laughed out loud about four times- but some of it was disgusting. Ethical question- do people just need to be in full flow, a torrent, to be funny? and a recipient simply must take the rough with the smooth. Pass. I'd hope, it could be a many tiered process and you could edit out the disgusting gags. Annoying. Night.

Absolutely fantastic my favorite go to movie if for any good or bad day. Apology accepted. I freaking can’t get enough of this movie. I can watch it 1 million times and still find it. Absolutely hilarious. I’m so glad I heard about this movie from a Jonas Brothers.

Outstanding. Back to back funny moments, keeps them hitting. No idea how anyone could rate it low, its an absolute travesty the audience score is so low on this one.
