Given the movie's nature and the actors involved it's not surprising that there are so many deleted scenes, most of them seem to be on-set experiments with dialogue and different lines.

Considering the movie they're talking about, this was a surprisingly bland commentary. There's a lot of how we did this, and where we shot that discussion, but it's all pretty formal. Given the movie's antics and its outlandish spoof-like behavior these guys are a little more matter-of-fact about the events on screen than one might predict. Audio Commentary – Director David Wain is joined by his co-writer Michael Showalter.Standard keepcase and slipcover, and that's it. One 50GB Blu-ray, and an UltraViolet Digital Copy download. They carry the movie through its rough patches and end up leading it to a satisfying ending. Rudd and Poehler are instantly charming whether they're on the screen together or taking up their own space. It's a clever look at how absurd rom-coms are and how we generally give them a pass anyway. The movie never set itself up as an 'Airplane'-esque spoof so when it tries out a few outlandish sight gags, they fall flat, feel weird, and throw off the mojo of the well-written script. It's a jarring turn of events, because while there are some weird unexplained sight gags throughout the movie, the pole joke takes you right out of it. Yet, you're going to take time to throw in a sight gag where someone mentions that the waiter is acting like he has a "pole up his ass," and the waiter turns, knocking over glassware, because he does indeed have a real pole up his ass. You're spearing the rom-com industry with some witty observations, and a clever reconstruction of standard formulas. You're getting all the satirical stuff right. Where the spoofing goes too far is when the movie tries too hard to through in ' Airplane'-like sight gags. Joel's friends, played by Ken Marino and Kenan Thompson offer the exact advice you think those characters would offer in that situation ("I'm married, and that's the point of view I represent"), only it's turned up a few notches to call attention to how prevalent these types of characters are in these movies. Instead of acting like these are completely normal everyday happenstances, 'They Came Together' painstakingly points out how ridiculous some of these situations are. Whoa boy, this isn't going to go well, right?Īll the beats from notable rom-coms are there, it's how the movie deals with them that's funny. Joel works for a large candy conglomerate, Molly owns a small independent candy store. Yes, there must be a few fights along the way. Their story must be a happy one, right? Well, as the story starts and we hear about their meet-cute (one of the best jokes in the whole movie), their dating, how they fell for each other, etc. It's a hilarious way to start out the movie. Of course we open on Joel (Rudd) and Molly (Poehler) recounting their love story to a couple of friends, over dinner. It's hard to keep the spoofing fresh, but it isn't hard for Rudd and Poehler to carry the dull parts. They're just so darned amiable that it's hard not to just sit there and smile. They're the constant in an otherwise turbulent movie. Whenever 'They Came Together' fails to achieve its goal of pointing out the joke of rom-coms, which are already a joke in and of themselves, it falls back on the shoulders of an infinitely likable duo of Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. Some of them hit, others miss, and at times the movie wades back into the very clichés it's spending so much time pointing at and laughing. At times, the desire to point out the world of rom-com flaws comes dangerously close to a movie that would be better titled 'Not Another Rom-Com Movie.' Writers Michael Showalter and David Wain throw out a barrage of spoof jokes. Sometimes it perfectly encapsulates the unbelievable romantic mush so many rom-coms wade through, and other times it loses itself in its parody-like behavior. 'They Came Together' is all about skewering the romantic comedy status quo.
