They Came Together (2014)
7KThey Came Together: Directed by David Wain. With Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Ellie Kemper. Molly owns a quaint little sweet shop. Joel works for a gigantic candy company threatening to shut her down. How they meet, fall in love, break up and get back together is hilariously recounted in this rom-com spoof.
“For a movie that has a ton of very funny people, this is not a very funny film. The filmmaker seems to think repeating the clichés of a RomCom and winking sidelong at the audience makes the old clichés funny but really it doesnu0026#39;t. Theyu0026#39;re still tired and worn out clichés that make this difficult to sit through without getting bored. That is not good satire! I agree, itu0026#39;s difficult to send up a genre: Airplane and Galaxy Quest canu0026#39;t be made everyday. But I feel like this film is more in the same vein as the nth Scary Movie or Not Another Teen Movie: not worth the time to watch them. Itu0026#39;s too bad because a lot of good talent goes to waste here.”
