Reviews for Swingers
The ultrahip settings and characters are a great backdrop for an angst-y comic relationship movie. This one deserves a second viewing.

Captures the yearnings and motives - both romantic and pathetic - of guys in their 20s like no film since Diner.

Promises more than it delivers.

Screenwriter Favreau strengthens the characters and the reality of the situations by making wonderful use of language and male jargon.

[An] insubstantial but satisfying project that’s a good movie for 20-somethings and everyone else who wants to get a smile out of someone else’s relationship angst for a change.

A guy film that gives you something to latch onto, that makes male bonding both believable and appealing.

Top CriticActor-screenwriter Favreau and director Liman demonstrate with Swingers that they're definitely 'money.'

One of the most sincere and earnest looks into single life in the 90s, Swingers is nothing but -- in the terms of its resident lounge lizards -- money.

An independent film shot for around $250,000 that lacks a cutting-edge, something indie films should not leave home without.

This kind of story -- a staple of low-budget features -- is getting awfully stale, and the injection of humor can't completely invigorate the proceedings.

Like a Les Brown tune, a really dry martini and a hug from a good buddy, Swingers makes you feel warm all over, baby.

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.

Swingers has a few good laughs here and there, but never achieves anything poignant.

It's no masterpiece, but it's real.
