A Must-See for All 20-Something Males (by Zuhalter) |
Let me preface this review by saying that this is my favorite film of all time. I'm not saying it was the best, most artistic, original, or most innovative...but it is my favorite. It's a movie about a 20-something man getting over a nasty break-up, living in Los Angeles. Pretty simple stuff, but the honesty in the film is amazing. This film boasts the most realistic, and interesting depictions of male friendship I've ever seen. Some might simply pawn this movie off as a buddy flick, but it goes so much deeper than that. Mikey Favreau deals with insecurity, rejection, <more> |
Best movie ever (by MaraJade27) |
I saw that someone commented this is the perfect guy movie. I'd like to add that it's not just for guys. The characters in it are just as easy to relate to for girls. If you think girls don't pathetically chase after guys the same way the men of Swingers were going after girls, you need to get out more. Not meant to be an insult. My favorite character in it though I love them all is Rob. His insecurity is cute, but of course he's also a loyal friend. You can't beat that. And I love the goofy quote. "Hi, Mom. I'm goofy. Send more money." That's great! <more> |
As enjoyable as any film in recent memory. (by svswinger-2) |
I think a few of the readers who have commented on this film seem to be missing the point. While it can be said that this movie has no plot to speak of and no central point to it, my response is: so what? Not every movie is made to teach you how to live your life. Some of us can watch a movie simply for the pure enjoyment of listening to characters interact. Swingers does a better job of achieving this than the majority of movies ever made. Anybody can make Godzilla or Independence Day, but it takes a truly special movie to become a "cult hit" with nothing more at it's disposal <more> |
Too cool for words (by countincrw) |
Swingers is just about the coolest film on the planet. It's so laid back it's horizontal. There aren't enough words in a thesaurus to describe how good this movie is! Watch and enjoy. The direction from Doug Liman is awesome and the acting matches. It's funny but not in your face, it's hip but doesn't care and it just makes for a great picture. Heather Graham looks gorgeous at the end as an added bonus for the guys too! |
Money (by R_O_U_S) |
One of those periodic movies that briefly reinvents the language, Swingers is, there's no two ways about it, money. It centres around a bunch of guys who shoot the breeze, go to Vegas, play poker, try to pick up girls and generally make themselves look foolish. This is also the plot. It's a little movie that made big stars out of its cast, although the director has yet to live up to its promise. And the answerphone scene was an instant classic. |
Jon Favereau's likable comedy (by bunny2222) |
"Swingers" is a comedy about actors being out of work in LA. Mikey Jon Favereau is getting over a broken relationship with Michelle.Rob Ron Livingston , Sue Patrick Van Horn and Trent Vince Vaughan are on hand to pull him through.Cue a fresh and original comedy.Vince Vaughan explodes on to the screen with his portrayal of Trent.The way he tries to coax his friend Mikey out of his sad state is hysterical. To build up his esteem " You're so money ..." and on his eventual triumph "Our baby's all growed up" Rob on the other hand gives him gentle support <more> |
This movie is so money! (by mattymatt4ever) |
Before watching "Swingers," I saw Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn paired off in "Made." Now, I didn't like "Made" all that much, but that didn't lower my expectations when watching "Swingers." I already knew the two actors had a great chemistry and as long as the script is well-written, they can really go places. "Swingers" is a thoroughly original, wonderfully written comedy that's filled with big laughs. Favreau and Vaughn's characters are like polar opposites, and it's hilarious to watch them argue. The rest of the actors <more> |
I wanted to call all of my friends after I first saw this film! (by adzrussell) |
I chanced upon Swigers one evening after reading an article on writer/star Jon Favreau, and trying to figure out which character he played in Friends it's Pete Becker by the way ; don't you love it when you uncover a gem. From the opening credits, set to Dean Martin crooning "You're Nobody Until Somebody Loves You", I knew that this film was the very personification of cool, spawning one of the coolest characters in any film...ever, that being Trent Walker played by Vince Vaughn, with a swinging soundtrack and a real sense of fun which you don't often get in <more> |
Not completely "money" but still good (by SKG-2) |
Perhaps I would have loved this movie if I was more into the cocktail, or lounge, culture portrayed here. I don't mind retro, but this movement turns me off. Still, as a guys romantic comedy, this is good. As one critic said, this works because it understands most romantic comedy takes place before boy meets girl in that respect, this movie reminds me of DINER, which was also a study of guys trying to relate to women, though that one was better . Unlike many, I thought the answering machine scene went on too long, but otherwise, I liked Favreau as everyone else pointed out, who can't <more> |
