"Swingers " proves that movies don't have to cost tens of millions of dollars and be full of C.G.I. to be great.
This film follows the (mis) adventures of Mike, as he tries to get over the break up of his long term relationship.Helping him are his group of struggling actor friends including the ultra cool Trent.
For any man going through the hell of an unwanted break up this movie really is the "MONEY", because its so accurate but amazingly manages to tap into such a depressing subject in such a light hearted and funny way. Early on in the film Trent, as ever, persuades Mike into doing something he doesn't want to do; go to Las Vegas. Through the course of the evening Mike loses his money and struggles with the ladies, but this half hour segment is handled so well that you can laugh and empathise at the same time.
Of course eventually things work themselves out for Mike, but its not an easy ride for him, especially the classic mobile phone scene.
I could talk about this movie all day, and have seen it so many times that I know all the dialogue, but suffice to say that this is the coolest, funniest, most heartwarming film you will ever see with great acting,amazing direction(on an obviously limited budget) a killer soundtrack and the most refreshingly funny and honest dialogue you could hope to hear. Even though this film is set in L.A. it really strikes a chord with guys everywhere.
Respect to John Favreau, Vince Vaughn and Doug Liman and the rest of the cast and crew for making my favourite movie!(The parody "Swingblade" on the dvd is quality too)
10 out of 10! A mini masterpiece!
