This is a movie that defined an entirely new genre of comedy with the introduction of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. It had a heavy influence on the entire 20-something nightlife crowd of the late 90's, the bar-hopping way of life,... Full review

And when I think over my most favorite embarrassing romantic moments in movies, right at the top of the list is this scene from Swingers .
It's almost impossible to promote just one scene from this film when there are so many memorable moments, but this one just hits you where it hurts -- and hopefully some of you will watch this and remember to wait two days ...

It has an energetic, snappy script, punctuated by countless great lines, a strong ensemble cast, while Doug Liman's direction is fresh and alive.
The mood and characters are so well established, it is easy and enjoyable to jump in head first and coast along with this bunch of guys, full of egos, insecurities and sexist jokes: "She's business - big butt, can't fly coach.

Which is not to say that, given the right frame of mind, you can't enjoy Swingers for what it is: a movie that's as cool as the other side of the pillow.
To its credit, Swingers is so pumped full of flash and style it doesn't care if its story is thin as watered-down gin.

Like Swingers there are some terrible transition shots mixed in with the spectacular.

Consequently, not only are its characters more realistic and sympathetic than Quentin Tarantino's, but "Swingers" is much more good-natured and even likable than anything he has ever done.
Instead, this group of aspiring, 20-something actors in Southern California is either more likely to whine about ex-girlfriends, crow about their success with the opposite sex or fight it out over a video game than "cap" (shoot) someone.
