The film is so well paced that it's an honest to goodness multiple viewer. In fact, it had more appeal to me on a second viewing, mainly because I missed some sneaky stuff the first time around.

Fresh, zesty, if unfortunately titled, Swingers rocks.

The movie is sweet, funny, observant and goofy with a small "g," which means you don't get paid, but at least you don't have to wear the suit.

Jon Favreau has created what amounts to a comedy with a National Geographic twist, a charming, almost documentary account of the habits of the North American human male in the wild.

Favreau's script and Doug Liman's direction are what makes this little tale come alive.

The acting is fantastic from everyone, epsecially Favreau and Vaughn: Favreau shows great comic flair as the neurotic, down-on-his-self-esteem guy; and Vaughn is just, well, "money" (word for cool in their clique).

It has an energetic, snappy script, punctuated by countless great lines, a strong ensemble cast, while Doug Liman’s direction is fresh and alive.
