They Came Together is a 2014 American comedy film directed by David Wain and written by Wain and Michael Showalter.[1] 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,[2] and was released theatrically (with a simultaneous release on iTunes) on June 27, 2014.[3]
Plot
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.
