They Came Together (2014)


Imagine if the people behind say 'Anchorman' and the 'Naked Gun' series made a rom-com, this would be the result. The story is straight forward (well it is a rom-com) recently single  Molly (Amy Poeheler) goes on a blind date with Joel (Paul Rudd) they instantly 'hate' each other, but through thick and thin they eventually fall in love, then break up, hook up with ex's, get engaged.....

Running at just over 80 minutes this movie doesn't over stay it's welcome,  this is a fine, fun, completely off the wall comedy, loads of silly gags, some don't hit the bullseye but you won't have to wait long for another one to be fired at you, charming cast with faces you'll recognize, if not the names (Bill Hader, Ellie Kemper, Ed Helms, Melanie Lynsky, Max Greenfield)) 

Pants title but a charming, dopey and daft fun flick.
