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.Сast and Crew

They Came Together will likely appeal to rom-com fans as much as to those who find such films annoyingly clichéd.
Without a baseline for the comedy, the layers of spoof in "They Came Together" don’t have the foundation to carry even a short movie.
A lively comic jamboree that’s sometimes smarter than it is funny and hits about as often as it misses, but is, on balance, a good deal of fun.
It’s a light-hearted film that is smarter than it seems-or as Wain once said, "a deliberately terrible romantic comedy."
It’s essentially a 10-minute sketch stretched out to an 80-minute movie, which feels even longer.
What results is chaotic but ultimately focused, bound by an intense devotion to disassembling genre and narrative standards.
The trouble is, the film’s relentless meta-quirkiness never builds: it just clatters on, repeating itself.
