Swingers

(1996) Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn
Directed by Doug Liman

Cool cats, big town. Swingers is the story of Mike, a fledgling stand-up comedian, played by Jon Favreau, looking for love or at least some semblance of it as he winds his way through the dark, sex-obessed, fashion-crazed world of L.A. nightlife.

Filmed on a budget that couldn't pay the bar tab of Titanic, this movie brings back to the screen what has been missing far too long... honesty. As Mike trips and fumbles from one b_mus_i scene to the next, missing the point, and the women, it becomes hard not to root for him. An effervescent tale of men, women and the drinks between them.
