A funny movie about a guy trying to get over his girlfriend of many years.

For a film operating on such a low budget, this is money, baby! So money, and it knows it. All three male leads are great, playing exaggerated versions of themselves. Favreau's script is very natural, to the point where meticulously scripted scenes feel like fluid improv. The film homages and the NHL 94 scene are the movie's best moments, but there are tons of quotable lines here. Beneath its obnoxiousness, there's a real sweet heart to it. The ultimate guy break-up film. Double-down on this.

Swingers is a good movie, but it's a masterpiece of tone. In an era where so many movies try to be comedies and dramas at the same time (David O. Russell sucks), here's a film that does it so effortlessly, with characters simultaneously humorous and sympathetic. "No one talks like this" is a common criticism. That's fine, but I don't care. Everyone feels like this, and that's more important.

"You always double down on 11 baby". People, this movie is so money, I'm sure I'm not overrating this. The film kept getting better and better with every minute that passed and it's been by far one of the most enjoyable films I've ever seen. The script is great, as are the actors, one of those films where everything just feels right... Favreau and Vaughn are a great comedic duo, and are bound to make you laugh. A nice buddy movie, loved it!

A movie that doesn't strive for greatness, but seems to be pretty happy with what it wants to be. Vaughn was surprisingly funny, the answering machine sequence had me cringing more that my last romantic encounter, and I loved the nods to Resevoir Dogs and Goodfellas. Low-key, but definitely enjoyable. I wish I had some digits from some babies who are also money though...

I'll be frank: this didn't age well. If I wanted to see some asshole mope around for an hour, I'd just watch myself in my bathroom mirror. The pacing is slow, no one talks like these characters do, and the payoff is a little too convenient to be believable.

This movie is perfectly cast. There is a lot of humour in realistic situations in this film. This movie rings true to certain guys in their 20's lifestyles. There are some clever references to other films as well in this movie.

Though it's a knowingly funny and hip once-over of the modern American male, the arc is tired. It's the writing, fresh (at the time) faces and pacing that make it crisp and lively. It was enough to have became a cult classic in the pop culture-obsessed '90s. Its nostalgia for the Rat Pack era is underplayed just enough to have avoided alienating the Gen-Xers. Now it's just a slight but charming look at guys you probably know a lot of.

All the parties and the bars, they suck. I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's somebody else who's more important she should be talking to. And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack. You know? And half of them are just nasty skanks who wouldn't be nothing except they're surrounded by a bunch of drunken horny a-holes. And I'm gonna tell you something. Are you listening? I'm not going to be one of those a-holes!

Look who's all growsed up. Seriously, Jon Favreau is Hollywood's answer to Nena, but he really got this movie right. It is also the only time in the history of cinema that Heather Graham is enjoyable with her breasts covered.

One of the earlier "painfully funny" works that have become so common these days on both the big screen and television. Vince Vaughan steals the show, and is still working today off of what he does here. The supporting players fit nicely around him, and the narrative ties up nicely with just the right amount of heart--not too much, and always willing to undercut the serious moment (without trivializing it) for another laugh. Still an enjoyable movie, all these years later.

This is one of my favorite college movies. First time I watched was when I was doing RA training. This is Vince Vaughn at his best. The whole two day rule is hilarious (because its kinda true). The roller coaster ride Favreau goes on through this movie symbolizes what love can do to you sometimes, but Vaughn symbolizes why friends are so so so important. and yes Your Alls Grown Up (I'm standing on my computer desk).

Passable cringer, where you spend 90% of the movie uncomfortable at what you are seeing. Not because its bad, but because the antics are portrayed in such a way you can feel the pain of the characters, and just want to look away. Let down by a weak plot, but strong performances make this one watchable and enjoyable (in a sadistic way)

Minor and lite, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn carry this down-and-out buddy film to less than comic gold, but it is funny, the characters are very likable and it's one of those brisk films that keeps you smiling. It's also got a brain.

Now,I'm prepared to believe that outside of the world I live in there are men who bleat on at their friends about relationships & feelings & how to chat up women.I've heard rumours.However,what I can't believe is that there are people who want to watch these strange creatures portrayed on film.

The Fight Club of nightclubs in that it's smarter than it first appears. Sure it's exaggerated, people don't really talk or act like that but a lot of moments feel authentic in a "we all know one of these guys" way - the guy who's still stoking the Vegas flame three hours into that dark, empty desert drive, the guy who arbitrarily declares the party dead, the guy who curses way too much at video games, the guy from "Office Space". Jon Favreau as the dumped sod is surprisingly easy to root for.

Jon Favreau is a pretty good writer, and Doug Liman directs good films. This one is one of my least favorite Liman movies, but it's still quality entertainment if you're a fan of Favreau's work.

This is a fun movie, with many scenes and moments you can relate to. But it's also a "guy movie" and I'm not sure how many women would enjoy it; not because it's sexist or biased, but because I think you have to be a "guy" to get some aspects of it.

A really funny movie that one can relate too. The movie has some amazing lines... "You are all money baby".. "You always double down on 11 baby"... Its a really nice male camaraderie movie.

Mostly very funny, though the degree of self-awareness is not always to my taste (some of the gags go on a bit long as well). My biggest gripe would have to be that things are wrapped up too suddenly and neatly--the abrupt and substantial change in Favreau's character near the end is simply unbelievable (and what they do with Vaughan's is silly).

While occasionally amusing, what I'm really happy about is that this movie is a time capsule of the popular and bizarre swing revival of the 90s. How it came to be will remain one of the great mysteries of the 20th century, but at least we have proof that it existed. At its heart it's a fairly run-of-the-mill independent comedy with smatterings of wit. I can't complain too much.

Wildly self-indulgent, considering nothing of particular interest happens and what little does happen feels like an utter waste of celluloid. But the movie has a charm to it, it captures a time and place, it's just the people there need personality transplants, and there are some very funny gags in parts. Maybe it's for the best these people seem like assholes, but in a relatable way - some are smug, some are aggressive, some are just idiots. They're real people! Just boring people!
