Review of Swingers (1996)

What "Sex and the City" has done for women as far as expressing the underlying feminine reality of modern day city gals, "Swingers" does the same for men and maybe even exceeds these myths. It provides a certain truth about what it is that guys do when being guys and what it is that guys think about for that matter when not drooling over a half-naked female in a halter top and leather pants ensemble at some trendy hotspot on Melrose. You want to know how to act in front of women? Need some pointers? Do you ladies want to know why men are the way they are then forget about all of those blase sitcoms and redundant "man's magazines" and see this movie for any and all necessary information and ask no more questions. All hestitation about the opposite sex will be clarified by the end of this film and one will be guaranteed to be smoother, more suave and simply appear to be just that much more cooler than before you saw the film in the first place (guys at least). As far as acting is concerned, all of the characters in the movie are late 20 something guys looking to become future actors in Hollywood (ironic, eh?), and they are outstanding. Trent, Vince Vaughn, is the smooth talker, never one to fail with the tail and the one-liners. Watching and observing closely behind him is Mikey, Jon Favreau, who helped to write and produce this movie and one who continues to wreak himself over a past loved one during the course of the swingers' journey. Also worthy of mention in this high-powered entourage of groupies you'll find a sincere Ron Livingston, a slick, hard-nosed Pat Van Horn and a genuine Heather Graham as well as a host of talented and believable others. Well written, well acted, well done and clever as can be. I am at a loss for words of how "money" this movie is. Stop reading my review and just simply go see it. Vegas baby! Vegas!
