Continuing our Woody Allen Adjacent project JAMES has picked this interesting romantic comedy spoof..... It was an interesting discussion actually, where we delve more into our thoughts on the so called 'romantic comedy' genre on a whole..... and other pedantic quibbles ;P
In They Came Together (2014) Joel (Paul Rudd) a corporate candy exec, threatens to shut down Molly's (Amy Poehler) charming indie candy shop. Sparks fly despite their opposing businesses, leading to a whirlwind romance filled with clichés from classic rom-coms, hilariously exaggerated for maximum satire. Through flashbacks and dinner conversations with another couple, their journey unfolds, with misunderstandings, grand gestures, and awkward moments mirroring the tropes they poke fun at. As their relationship navigates breakups, second chances, and quirky obstacles, the film playfully critiques the predictable patterns of romantic comedies while reminding us that love, even in its cheesy forms, can be sweet and funny.
