A movie that is self-aware can be funny, if it's handled with a light touch and can't say the filmmakers were reserved. It's funny in parts, but not aging well given things like cops shooting someone in the face, white supremacy 'jokes', and some other stuff that went beyond irreverent. Still, it didn't suck quite as much as your run-of-the-mill romcom and thought the acting worked well. Just a tad below 'average' in my book.

A work of pure genius. I loved every single cameo and reference. Had me laughing all the way through. Reminded me why I love romantic comedies while reminding me how absolutely ridiculous they are.

Tons of talent from the best TV comedies got together to make They Came Together last year, a spoof on New York-based romantic comedies with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler in the leads. Mostly a send-up of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, with a structure not unlike what Woody Allen's used, the film's humor vacillates between outright parody, the ridiculing of common tropes, silly whimsy, and absurd Airplane-type gags. It's loaded with characters and surprise cameos, and somewhere in there, you'll find something that'll make you laugh. Personally, I thought the film worked best when it banked on the two leads' chemistry, and less so when it went full Airplane. But if you'd rather watch it as less of a spoof and more as a romance, you really can, because the film's structure means what we're seeing is mangled by how the story is being told, with all the hyperbolics, tangents, jokes, and point of view distortions you would expect in the telling (not to mention the listener's imagination). It's kind of fun to watch it with that in mind and wonder what's actually being said at any given point.

This is not a romcom, this is a great comedy movie that makes fun of rom coms.
Paul Rudd was fantastic like always, Amy Poehler, this movie makes me watch more stuff of Amy, she was adorable and really funny.
Good cameos for a bunch of people that I appreciate.
This movie was so better that admission, in the duel Amy has a better movie with Paul Rudd that Tina.
4/5
