In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Main character Mike (Favreau) is Woody Allen-like. Vincent Vaughan threatens to run away with the movie. But great ensemble piece. Would have liked Mike to have done more without his mates, but really touching how they had his back. Couple of great scenes with Favreau and his answering machine/telephone.
Real indie feel. Could have edited the extended music scenes, but that's a minor quibble.

Simply one of the best films. It is so money and doesn't even know it. That's the rub.

I must be honest from the start the swingers just didn't do it for me.For starters Jon Favreau's performance is very bad.I understand that this is his first movie which he wrote and probably had the part written for himself but his character just isn't likable nor reletable in any way(Paul Rudd is made for these types of rolls and i am not a even a fan). His portrayal of a sensitive guy is very contrived and dull.The characters in this movie are very one dimensional ,no one ever says something meaningful or remotely funny, for a guy movie its slightly above average because you can see that a lot of creativity was involved but just didn't deliver and in the end couldn't pass for anything else unfortunately.The film itself isn't filmed well either.The camera angles are boring like someone filmed them without any prior knowledge of filming and had Martin Scorsese in mind .Vince Vaughn and Ron Living are okay but they always play the same parts.The reservoir dogs references are weak and deciduous.I understand that this movie is about guys going out and getting laid and showing up whats its like to be in your late 20s in Los Angeles ,New York during the 90s.But it does such a bad job that You thought you would have more fun in some torn third world country (no disrespect as i come from such a country myself)If you happen to like mediocre nostalgic guy movies.Go and watch it.But I've seen way better movies made with even less finance and more heart.Id be happy to recommend them.

The movie has a laid back feeling. But that feeling is about all there is in the movie. At the beginning of the movie the story is intriguing and sets the viewer in a curious mood and leaves you there and slowly turns it into boredom. The dialogue is terrible and the silences the lead actor leaves in the conversations are are real turn down and slow the movie down unnecessarily. The characters feel shallow and you don't get to know them throughout the movie. From the shallow characters the movie does not develop in any way. At the end I was happy the movie ended. This is one of those movies that should have stayed in the nineties. Maybe it was good in that age but now it translates to a one and a half hour bore.p.s: haven't laughed throughout the whole movie, it's not funny anymore just dramatic and sad
