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...

The important thing about the very low budget Swingers is that it involved people who went on to become Hollywood titans. It was directed by Doug Liman (his second film) written by and stars Jon Favreau and features a star making role from Vince Vaughn.Both Favreau and Vaughn are noticeably younger and leaner. I guess Favreau wrote a film that in some ways is autobiographical.It is a nod to films like Diner and Marty. A film about unemployed showbiz types looking for that break in the career ladder which at the moment consists of rejection. They hang out together in clubs and bars, they act out like they are a low rent rat pack going to Vegas and dancing in retro swing clubs.Mike (Favreau) is a comic who has come to Hollywood from New York and struggling to find work and get over his hang up with his girlfriend who has broken up with him. His best buddy is energetic, motor mouthed Trent (Vince Vaughn) who wants to cheer up Mike and get him laid. Trent is a shark when it comes to women, he has no problems chatting them up and then devouring them.Together with two other hipster buddies they go to Vegas to cruise and make out. Mike hooks up with a girl but makes a mess of leaving a message in an answer phone.The film has attitude, laughs and an edginess. It is a Generation X tribute to the ensemble guys comedy, in some ways inspired by Woody Allen with its nervy humour and makes good use of Los Angeles and Las Vegas locations, which looks familiar to me as I visited both cities around the time the film was released.

Atlanta, Georgia- Been a while since I have seen this movie. But Swingers is a nostalgic look of the swing craze of the 1990s. With a young cast of Vince Vaughan and friends it is fun to watch. In this story Mike is seeking to connect with his lost love of New York after moving to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. Meanwhile his best friend Trent is teaching him the dating hints and how to be "money" to those around him. Money is a term that describes a cool Cat. With these lessons learned he then takes on the starlets of Hollywood. With the back drop of the sounds of Big Vodoo Daddy in tow, you can't but love the night of swing dancing and how the world is full of possibility once you get comfortable in your own skin. Swingers is one cool movie Daddio.

This movie brings me to a bit of a dichotomy. The movie itself and the character interaction was good but the characters themselves irritated me. Basically we had the main character, Mike, had just lost his girlfriend, who said that she would give him a call. He is depressed (and this depression lasts 6 months) and his friend Trent tries to show him a good time. In the end he meets a girl who is in the same situation as he is and they end up going out.Mike spends the entire movie moping about his lost love and tries to extract sympathy from those around him. The problem here is that his girlfriend means everything to him, and when she is stripped away from him he has absolutely nothing left in his life. In fact he has quite a good life as he has friends, he is attractive, and his film career is on its way with a part in a pilot and hosting a comedy club. Yet he does not realise this, and in fact is so fixated on his ex-girlfriend that he ends up driving other girls away (though he elicits the sympathy of two waitresses in Las Vegas).His friend Trent is the opposite. He goes around with the belief that he is the greatest thing around. He believes that he can pick and chose his girls, and really treats them like sex objects. He cannot understand the deep rent in the relationship that Mike is experiencing. His answer is a couple of girls and pointless sex - that solves everything. His whole belief is undermined at the end when he believes that a woman is making baby faces at him when in fact she is making faces at her baby.What this movie does well is that it draws out the attitudes and beliefs of the characters. Even though they are annoying, they are real. People do feel depressed for six months after losing a love, especially if it is a relationship as such. I personally felt irritated over the characters, but the film itself was good.
