depression, an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy. Something almost everyone can relate to. And, as an audience member, you live and die with the poor guy. The supporting cast is very strong, popping in and out as the assortment of friends populating Mikey's social life. Each is trying, in his own way, to get their buddy out of his post-break up funk, which meet with varying degrees of success. Swingers is chock full of laugh-out-loud moments, and oft-quoted lines "Our baby's all grows up!" that could very easily lead to repeated viewings of this masterpiece.

This is one of those movies that I love to watch over and over again. I will never get sick of it. Plus my husband then boyfriend introduced me to it so of course I love it. He even picked me up from my classes once by yelling, "Hey, do you know where all the high school girls hang out??" from across the street. This movie was incredibly funny and deserves a lot more praise than it gets.

than no-name actors at the time and catchy dialogue. This movie was the springboard for virtually every actor in it, with each going on to more well known parts.Ok, enough preaching, pure and simple this movie is great. Vince Vaughn's character is one of the most likable characters you'll see in a movie. Even if you have nothing in common with someone like him, you can't help but like him. He's hilarious, smooth, and a loyal friend, and he has some of the most quotable lines in the movie. Everyone else on this site has quoted it time and again, so no need for me to, but let's just say it's funny stuff. John Favreau's character, Mikey, makes you laugh while at the same time wanting to slap him for being so stupid. There's so many funny scenes in this movie, I can't even begin to describe them. But the best by far always involve Vaughn, and the part where he's in the trailer describing his experience auditioning for a pilot is classic. You know he's feeding the girls a line the whole time, but it's so convincing and everyone is so in awe of him, it's hysterical. And when Mikey tries to act cool in front of the waitresses they meet, and fails to do so, only to see Trent tell them he's a producer and watch them swoon, I can't see how people don't find that funny.Anyways, if you haven't seen this movie yet, do yourself a favor and go rent it. The buildup offered on this site is only a fraction of what you'll actually get out of watching it. 10+/10

while auditioning for the role of Goofy. Sue cruelly puts Mikey down as guys often do.They visit clubs and parties. Mikey slowly regains his standing.Where Jon Favereau scores is making Mikey's hurt awkwardness and anxiety hugely funny His phone call s! to Nikki's answerphone is one of the most painfully funny and excruciating moments I have witnessed in a cinema audience -- you want him not to call Heather Graham is a lovely actress and makes a strong impact in the short time she has on screen. Overall a very funny feelgood movie with a few touching moments.

are also good I think the black guy is the blind character from "Becker"--I could be wrong , but Vince Vaughn steals the show as the smooth-talking Trent. We all have friends like Trent. Some of us aspire to be like Trent. Some of us are Trent. I admit, I would compare myself more to Favreau's character--the more reserved, sensitive type. But the great thing about a film like this is it's down to earth. It's about everyday people in everyday situations, and I guarantee many of us can relate to the characters in "Swingers" in one way or another, just like how many of us relate to the characters on "Seinfeld." This isn't a plot-driven film, so you can call this a movie about nothing. It's simply about a group of studs on the prowl, hitting the clubs and casinos, and sharing their philosophies on sex and dating. There are several films that tried to replicate this format and failed "Whipped" comes to mind . If you're in the mood to laugh hysterically and be wildly entertained, "Swingers" is the movie for you. About my only criticisms would be a few lame attempts to be stylish. Come on, would 5 guys really drive in their own cars and follow each other all the way without anyone cutting them off? My score: 8 out of 10

mainstream Hollywood; and this film is effortless in a way which Tarantino could only dream about.The story centres around Favreau's loser-in-love Mikey, trying to make a living as an actor in L.A after leaving his long-term girlfriend behind in New York. His best buddy, Trent, tries incessantly to get Mikey back 'into the game' so to speak; cue a trawl around L.A's hippest night-spots, some hilarious insight into dating rituals when is it cool to call? 2 days? , and a trip to Las Vegas in which Trent tries to 'pull a Fredo' bedding cocktail waitresses two at a time . The central duo are ably supported by a cast of lovable rogues, all intent on getting laid.Doug Liman directs in a laid-back manner, befitting of the film, and Favreau's script based on Vaughn and himself is full of witty insights and in-jokes, as well as enough movie references to keep everyone happy.Although the characters are almost impossibly cool, they never appear obnoxious due to the over-riding sense that they are just a bunch of lovable losers trying to con their way into the beds of L.A's female population; sometimes succeeding, sometimes not, and there is a certain sweetness added by Favreau's predicament. The pay-off is cool, Favreau finally 'getting digits' and we are left with a role-reversal between the two main protagonists as Trent makes a fool of himself with a woman in the closing scene.Altogether a classy, breezy, often hilarious film, a certain cult classic, and a fine addition to the date movie genre.

identify with him? , and of course liked Vaughan a lot. And I loved the RESEVOIR DOGS and GOODFELLAS parodies, and of course that final scene is a classic.
