The dude comes... The chick comes... Everyone comes together in this sexy, smart and sassy spoof on your favourite rom-coms When Joel (Paul Rudd) and Molly (Amy Poehler) meet, its hate at first sight: his big Corporate Candy Company threatens to shut down her quirky indie candy shop. Plus, Joel is commitment-phobic and Molly is a huge klutz with a propensity for dating her accountants. But somehow through the hurling of insults and barbs, they fall in love. Then out of love. Then back in love. Then out of love again. All the while, their mixed bag of ex's, best friends and co-workers try and figure out what makes this odd couple tick... like a time-bomb.

I didn't believe that with this cast and this director, something truly good would come, but suddenly after a few minutes, I realized I wasn't watching a classic American comedy, but an amazing absurd theatrical performance that is actually a film. Great crazy situations and jokes that almost continue in the French and Czech traditions. An incredible surprise that will likely be very overlooked.

In pieces that are thirty years old or more and seen twenty times already, cinemas are still selling out, complaints are repeatedly heard that the parody genre is dead, and such a gem is left lying dormant and more or less nobody has seen it. And yet it turns the genre on its head, Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler can outdo themselves and shoot one crazy word and nonverbal nonsense after another, whether it grabs the viewer or not - and occasionally some more or less familiar TV face from Wet Hot American Summer comes to help them out. I laughed, I was shocked, I couldn't believe my eyes, but above all, I didn't understand why I hadn't shaken hands with this hand much earlier. However, as I watch a lot of comments, someone wouldn't recognize a sharp parody even if it hit them at full speed. When complaints arise that this comedy is somehow off, I begin to fear who is making fun of whom.
