Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Rabbi Olive SWINGERS is a film that will never get tiresome for the people who want to hang out with the friends and have a great time, here Vince desperately giving some boost and guidance to have a new start from Jon Favreau's old life. The way it was showed is with the gruesome language but it's an OK movie...
stanleymowatt My favourite feel good movie, young Vince oozes with style and confidence, a must watch! The movie is about a young Jon Favreau who plays a struggling stand-up, who has just split up with his girlfriend and his friends encourage him to get back out there and chat up new young ladies. The plot is loosely based on Jon Favreau's life and Favreau uses his own apartment in the filming of this low budget indie movie. Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn had previously met on the set of Rudy and after they cemented a good friendship together Vince got the part co-staring next to Favreau. This in my opinion is still Vince Vaughn's finest performance as he shows off all his traits: confident, cheeky and swagger in his way with the ladies. The movie is not just about Jon Favreau's character (Mikey) bouncing back from his recent relationship but it's equally about the power of friendship.
paul2001sw-1 Doug Liman's lively film 'Swingers' tells the story of a group of young men in Los Angeles, and one in particular, John Favreau's Mike, who is struggling to rebound after the end of a previous relationship. Mike is offset by his juvenile, sexist friends; and yet the film seems somehow to be celebrating as well as mocking their world of sleazy charm and, as they would assert (not always convincingly), easy women. For example, they use the expression "you are the money", as a way of hyping up each others' self confidence, which seems particularly unappealing, which the script seems to be both be laughing at and endorsing. Indeed, the overall plot is presented as an essentially happy story where at the end Mike is "money" once again. Liman handles this material with aplomb; but I'm not sure I'd actually like to live in his world.
g-bodyl I finally have gotten around to watching Swingers and I believe this film will connect with all younger males such as myself. This film is about as authentic as you'll get when it comes to Hollywood and real life. I just felt like I was involved in this movie as if it was my life. The dialog is so real and believable. This indie film is funny and heartfelt as it is about bromances and these men finding their way in life.Doug Liman's film is about two friends named Trent and Mike who like to party it up in Hollywood. Mike is a wannabe actor who is coming off a six-year relationship and Trent is his friend who wants him to move on and succeed in life.This is the film that made Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn household names. I never seen Favreau as that big superstar, but he has the ability as evident by this film. He certainly is capable of an actor as he is a director. Vince Vaughn is funny and very talkative. His catchphrase involving the use of money as an adjective deserves some props even if it does get annoying after awhile.Overall, Swingers is a great comedy that has great themes of young people trying to find their way in life. It's very authentic thanks to a realistic screenplay. There are many laugh-out-loud moments and one that will hold true to your heart. For the kind of film it is, I couldn't help but love it. I rate this film 9/10.
