They Came Together is a 2014 American satirical romantic comedy film directed by David Wain and written by Wain and Michael Showalter. It is a parody of romantic comedies infused with Showalter and Wain's absurd approach. The film had its world premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and was released theatrically (with a simultaneous release on iTunes) on June 27, 2014.
When Joel (Rudd) and Molly (Poehler) meet, it's hate at first sight: his big Corporate Candy Company threatens to shut down her quirky indie candy shop. But amazingly (and predictably), they fall in love, until they break up and then must find their way back together.
The film was written by David Wain and Michael Showalter. Rudd and Poehler participated in a table read of the script at the SF Sketchfest in January 2012.
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 24, 2014., the film went on to screen at the Sundance London Film Festival on April 26, 2014., and went on to screen at the Chicago Critics Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival, BAMcinema Fest., The film was released in the United States on June 27, 2014 in a limited release and through video on demand by Lionsgate.
They Came Together has been met with generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a 69% rating based on 82 reviews, with the site's consensus stating: "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". On Metacritic, the movie has a score of 60 out of 100 based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
