TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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...

goolizap The movie that made us know Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn will surely not disappoint. It's humor is unique to the two leads, and is organic in the sense that it hits home for them. They believe what's happening because they lived it.Written by Favreau and loosely based on he and Vaughn's life and friendship, Swingers is about a group of struggling actors who are involved in the '90s Hollywood swing revival. It follows Mike (Favreau), a New York native who can't get over his ex-girlfriend. But his friends, most notably Trent (Vaughn), try getting him out of his depression by forcing him back out onto the playing field.Both leads are fantastic. Vaughn wows the audience with his unique brand of fast-talking humor. And Favreau is so convincing as a wallowing sad sack that you genuinely feel bad for the guy.The scene towards the beginning where the pair of friends go to Las Vegas sets the tone for the entire movie. It establishes a style that is vehemently consistent throughout.Swingers has everything that will make you want to drive to Los Angeles and Las Vegas right this second. It ties together the glitz and glamor of both cities, seamlessly connecting the two. But I think what captures the neon vibe of the film's locations is the juxtaposition of failing to make it. This failure, of course, isn't stressed. It's still opportunity. It's optimism.Neither Mike nor Trent have had much success in the industry, but Trent is still having the time of his life, while Mike's only reason to be down on himself is his breakup. The film paints a perfect portrait of confident mediocrity, and being complacent with it.The story's exposition takes its time, but in a perfect way. Every scene has a sincere purpose and contributes to establishing the depth of its characters. But it's beyond just the characters. A movie is refreshingly good if even the circumstances have depth. In fact, that's when it's great.Twizard Rating: 97

bowmanblue Swingers is about five guys who are dealing with single life in various different ways, all sharing experiences as they go from one L.A. bar to the next.That's about it. We follow their lives. A lot of people have criticised the film for having no plot. And they're right, it doesn't really. But does it matter? Only if you're really only interested in films with tight and deep plots. If you like your comedy a little on the adult side (and perhaps this film will appeal to guys over girls), plus are happy to follow these people and simply go along with the ride, you should get something out of this.It's kind of like a gangster film, but without the violence and crime. You have many long 'talkie' scenes, set around various bar tables in dingy clubs, while the protagonists sit back and discuss film trivia. This hardly drives the narrative forward, but, if you're into character pieces (and film trivia!) you should find it amusing.

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.
