Meloni Gets "Together" With Wain Again

Christopher Meloni has joined the romantic comedy spoof "They Came Together" says THR.


In the film Paul Rudd plays a big corporation exec who clashes with Amy Poehler as a quirky knick-knack store owner whom his company plans to shut down. That fiery relationship becomes a passionate on-again/off-again love affair.

Meloni will play Rudd‘s boss.

Jason Mantzoukas will play Rudd’s best friend. While "New Girl" star Max Greenfield will play the wayward couch surfing younger brother of Rudd’s character. Ed Helms is playing Eggbert, which is Poehler’s character’s love interest and accountant. Noureen DeWulf will be Rudd's assistant.

The film sends standard rom-com staples like jealous exes, wise animals, co-workers who are A-holes, scary in-laws and long beauty shots of New York City.

"Wet Hot American Summer" (co-starring Meloni) director David Wain and Michael Showalter wrote the script years ago with the latter set to produce the pic.

Shooting kicks off July 2nd in New York.
