Critics' reviews

"A lively comic jamboree that’s sometimes smarter than it is funny and hits about as often as it misses (...) the more the film strays from head-on parody mode, the funnier it tends to be"

Scott Foundas: Variety
"Though it occasionally throws in an absurdist gag having nothing to do with the format being parodied, these are minor flourishes in an exercise whose strict structure doesn't even allow its leads to charm us"

John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
"Fans will no doubt be amused; for everyone else, the results are so post-modern that they're post-funny"

Alonso Duralde: The Wrap
"A ponderous spoof of movie rom-coms (...) 'They Came Together' is as amusing as a knee replacement, and as fresh, witty and clever as a Howdy Doody monologue (...) Rating: 0 (out of four)"

Rex Reed: The New York Observer
"Most of the laughs are merely amusing, not hilarious, and there aren’t many surprises (...) But that’s okay; the fun, really, is in the familiarity of the formula (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Elizabeth Weitzman: New York Daily News
