WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Joel (Rudd) and Molly (Poehler) hate each other at first sight, especially when his big Corporate Candy Company threatens to shut down her quirky indie shop. But against the odds, they fall in love and face all the complications that come their way. You’re probably thinking that this is the corniest romantic-comedy ever, but don’t worry: so do they…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

They Came Together is a riotous Airplane-style riff on the tired rom-com tropes we’ve been spoon-fed over and over, coupled with the winning comedic chemistry of Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler as well as the absurdist approach by the creators of cult hit Wet Hot American Summer.
