\"They<\/p>\n

(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Movie<\/strong>: They Came Together
<\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: HBO Max
\nThe Pitch<\/strong>: Spoofing seemingly every New York romantic comedy from When Harry Met Sally<\/em> to You\u2019ve Got Mail<\/em>, director David Wain<\/strong>, and his frequent comedy cohort Michael Showalter <\/strong>(the guys who brought you Wet Hot American Summer<\/em>) both make a mockery of and pay tribute to all the tropes of the genre. From the brownstone homes to the holiday gatherings, watch as Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd meet, fall in love, break up, and get back together, all while the comedic style of spoofs like Airplane!<\/em> and Young Frankenstein<\/em> keep the laughs coming in fast and fierce.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing<\/strong>: They Came Together<\/em> has the most formulaic and clich\u00e9d storyline, but that\u2019s the point. Told in flashbacks, the movie recalls how Molly (Amy Poehler) and Joel (Paul Rudd) came to fall in love, despite the fact that the former owns a little sweet shop that\u2019s about to be put out of business by the latter\u2019s employer, a massive candy conglomerate. Bill Hader and Ellie Kemper listen intently as the couple recount all the details of their complicated relationship, putting the goofiest spin on all the scenes you\u2019ve seen in countless New York romantic comedies before, so much that it\u2019s almost like New York is a character throughout the movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

This movie stands with only a few comedies that have made me laugh the hardest in a movie theater. The first time I saw this movie, I was laughing so hard that I missed jokes, making the second viewing that much more enjoyable. They Came Together<\/em> isn\u2019t just a romantic comedy that\u2019s actually funny, it\u2019s a straight-up parody of the genre with gutbusting meta gags that rank among the very best from Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein<\/em>, Spaceballs<\/em>) and the trio of Zucker, Abrams, and Zucker (Airplane!<\/em>, The Naked Gun<\/em>). It ranges from clever lampooning to downright silly slapstick. Here\u2019s one of the scenes that never fails to crack me up, no matter how many times I see it:<\/p>\n
