Details
Movie Description
Hauling his sentimental friend out of his postbreakup funk, a club-hopping swinger takes him on a hilarious odyssey through the dating game of the 1990s, hitting the Vegas strip, fashionable martini lounges, and other modern hunting grounds of the opposite sex.
Synopsis
SWINGERS follows insecure Mike and smooth-talking Trent, two retro-hip showbiz wanna-bes, as they make the scene at various clubs in Hollywood and Vegas. During their martini-fueled odyssey, the duo and their buddies explore an altogether new vernacular while struggling with images of machismo, self-esteem, relationships, and, of course, sex. Lead actor Jon Favreau based the script on his and his friends' real-life Tinseltown adventures.
Industry Reviews
"...Writing, directing and acting are all pitch-perfect in a party movie that keeps spinning funny, sexy and touching surprises..."
Rolling Stone - p.78 - Peter Travers
"...Terrific....[Liman scores] from Favreau's exuberantly witty script....[Vaughn is] a scene-stealer..." -- Rating: A
Entertainment Weekly - p.46 - Owen Gleiberman
"...Sweet and funny....SWINGERS is a winningly confident snapshot of the nightlives of a bunch of young showbiz wannabes....Engaging, refreshingly human in its humor and becomingly modest in its aspirations..."
Variety - Todd McCarthy
"...A guy film that gives you something to latch onto....Ruefully funny and unpretentious, with an air of relaxed and confident hipness, SWINGERS is helped along by a clever script and the not surprising fondness it feels for its characters..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/18/1996)
"...The movie is sweet, funny, observant and goofy..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/25/1996)
"Favreau's script crackles with sharply amusing, endlessly quotable dialogue..."
Uncut - Andrew Sumner (07/01/2005)
"Liman's very quotable debut offsets its outer hipness with a compassion for its characters' vulnerabilities."
Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (07/01/2005)
