Swingers

1996-Comedy
Vince Vaughn

Yes, it took me a while to view this film. I had received this film from a friend for my birthday (August 22) and its been collecting dust since. I didn't have much expectations about this film, i though this would be another 'New Yorker in Los Angeles' movie.

Synopsis:
This is a story about Mike, a guy who left his girl in New York when he came to LA to be a star. It's been six months since his girlfriend left him and he's not doing so good. So, his pal and some other friends try and get him back in the social scene and forget about his 6 year relationship.

All-in-All:
This is a hard film to classify. A classic Comedy with witty banter with an actual plot. Reminds me of the Comedies of Dean Martins era, stylish, misogynistic, and simple. I especially enjoy the Las Vegas scene in which we get a 'REAL' Vegas and not the Vegas that Vegas Sells to us. A bunch of old people, and wannabes.
