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.

Jennifer L. Pozner

Bitch Media

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.

Flavorwire

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

Entertainment Weekly

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.

Rated: B

Every Movie Has a Lesson

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

Rated: 4/5

…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...

A delightful send-up of banal rom-com clichés that hearkens back to the heyday of parody films, and scores bountiful laughs from Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler’s note-perfect chemistry and timing.

Exactly the kind of absolute vulgar silliness you'd expect, done well. Proper belly laughs throughout.

I love the way it sends up not just genre clichés, but the bland style and atrocious editing/continuity found in a lot of modern romantic comedies. Per usual, Wain adds in enough absurd and weird humor to distinguish the film from your standard spoof.

Couldn't make it past the first 10 minutes. Terrible slapstick setup. When referring to "taking a stinky sh!t was better than sex after being married 10 years". I knew which way this movie was going to go. What a piece of crap. Don't waste even a click on the play bar.

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