For anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of the Los Angeles "lounge" scene that was in vogue during the early and mid-1990s, here's the movie that virtually defined that brief but colorful nightlife milieu. As an added bonus, it just happens to be a very funny, observant story about love, loss, and male bonding among a group of friends who struggle to find decent jobs by day, and lurk through Hollywood's hottest nightclubs by night. A sort of latter-day Rat Pack, they include Mike (writer-actor Jon Favreau) and his closest buddy, Trent (Vince Vaughn), who are waiting for the big show-biz break that seems to be eluding them. Mike's twisted up about the girlfriend he left back East to pursue his going-nowhere standup comedy career, and Trent uses the word "money" as an adjective ("Man, we look totally money tonight") with such frequency that you may find yourself slipping into lounge-lizard mode after watching the movie. One of the most noteworthy indie-film success stories of the '90s, this time-capsule comedy seized its moment in the spotlight, launched several promising careers, and continues to maintain its lasting appeal. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - You're So Money, and You Don't Even Know It!
Trent Walker (Vince Vaughn), Sue (Patrick Van Horn), Rob (Ron Livingston), Charles (Alex Désert), and Mike Peters (Jon Favreau) are all struggling actors. Their social scene and lifestyle is totally retro, based on the days when Frank, Sammy, and Dean ruled Vegas. They have their own style of dress, lingo, and attitude--but all recycled from the days of Frank, Sammy, and Dean-O. Their scene, The Cocktail Nation, flourished for a while in the mid 90's. The script was written by Jon Favreau, who plays ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - amazing movie
this is an amazing movie seen it a dozen times finally had to buy it



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'll get you Favreau, if it's the last thing I do!!!!!!!!
Jon Favreau (the writer and director of Swingers, Iron Man, Elf, etc.), is basically me. He's semi-geeky, witty, and likes to place himself in the false reality of thinking he's more of a ladies man than he truly is. It's all over his films, and Swingers is no exception.

In Swingers, we have a group of late-twenties friends, led by their alpha-male chieftain Trent (played by Vince Vaughn in perhaps his greatest role to date), who is in the process of trying to get "Mikey" (played by Favreau) ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A guy's movie for everyone
Although this movie is often described as a guy's movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a relationship movie from a guys perspective like one of my other indie favorites, Time and Tide. Both of the main characters are great and keep it interesting throughout. I highly recommend this film!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - One of the great guy movies
Yeah, the guys in this movie act pretty shallow. They're pretty much interested in going to random parties and picking up girls while all of their careers are in the fritz. While not exactly a primer on how to live one's life, the comradery between the characters is something to really shows depth.

The opening song "You're nobody until somebody loves you", sets the theme. The story revolves around Mikey, who left for Los Angeles leaving his girlfriend of five years behind. His friends are ... Read More
