Swingers - Special Edition (2 disc Box Set) [DVD]

Got a mate moping too long over a lost love ?Then this is the movie for you gather a few mates round hand them a beer sit them down and turn on the movie.If your mates invite you round and you are handed a beer and this is put on you know you been moping too long.Very funny movie and you know are under no illusions from the start and what has got to be the greatest cringe answer phone scene which will have you screaming" Noooooooooooooo" stop at the screen.lol

One of my favourite movies. Considering every weekend all over the world men try to pick up women in bars, you would think there would be a ton of movies about this universal culture.. but weirdly there isn't. Swingers depicts this aspect of life with great detail, dialogue and humour, without going for the cheap laughs', that you might expect from the movies title. It's slick style will make you want to buy a bowling shirt and chain wallet, drink cocktails and smoke cigars. Your so money and you do to even know it.

Having spent a great deal of time, money and effort building a collection of classic films I soon realised that most films aren't suited to repeat viewing. And so I stripped it back to the two films that are worthy of regular viewing. These are 'The Big Lebowski' and 'Swingers'. If you are intelligent, sensitive and appreciate style then this is a film for you.

The DVD arrived in excellent condition - good as new. Great price & very speedy delivery. What more can you ask for ?!!A fantastic early film from Vince Vaughan - hilarious !!! Soooooo good, with great supporting cast including Jon Favreau and Heather Graham.I'm a HUGE Fan - never fails to make me laugh out loud !! (-:

I enjoy this quirky movie quite a bit, and get more out of it with each subsequent viewing. Okay, so it's got Vince Vaughn playing yet another semi-obnoxious lothario. It's got a displaced New Yorker who is -- SURPRISE! -- neurotic and whiny, something we've only ever seen in almost every single Woody Allen film (amongst others). It's got the Token Cool African-American Friend Who Doesn't Have That Many Lines. Yet at the same time, this was actually Vince's FIRST semi-obnoxious lothario role (which no doubt set him up for being cast in further such roles), and his character does redeem himself by being sincerely concerned about his friends, going above and beyond the call of duty to help them. The Neurotic Displaced New Yorker actually grows as a person with the help of his friends, and becomes balanced and likeable. And the Token Cool African-American Friend STAYS cool throughout the film without any over-the-top comedic cracking of the veneer during stressful moments.The music is excellent, especially if you're into Swing, Big Band, and Jazz. I think it was the music (and the attendant anachronistic zoot suits) that caught my fancy on the first time through, and the plot and characters kinda grew on me in subsequent viewings. The excessive use of pseudo-hipster slang either enchants you or grates on your nerves; it's not a take-it-or-leave-it part of the film. Personally, if I hear anyone using "money" as an adjective ever again, my first response will be physical violence. And that's the ONLY reason I haven't given this film full marks. But it IS a fairly big reason for me.Still, this is one of those films where the popularity and fan base started out slow and small but grew to cult status with exponential speed. Like most cult films, it's realistic(ish) and a Thought-Provoking and Irreverent Commentary on Aspects of Modern Society, but it's nowhere near as "gritty" as most cult films. In other words, it's in colour, it doesn't have a depressing ending, and there are no supremely wise taxi drivers dispensing zen-like wisdom. Also, not a lot really happens in the film, but it plays so much like the better kind of fly-on-the-wall Reality TV show that it's easy to get sucked into the (admittedly thin and rambling but engaging) plot. It's got loads of homages to other popular films, TV shows, and whatnot. It's very well-written, very well-acted by all involved, it looks really good, and (apart from hearing "money" and/or "baby" every 20 seconds) it sounds really, REALLY good. "Swingers" is one of those small, independent films which far outclasses most of the big-budget blockbusters, and launched a LOT of promising and successful careers. The behind-the-scenes documentaries are good for watching through ONCE, to get the stories behind the making of the film, but are so full of self-congratulatory back-slapping and gag-reflex-inducing mutual appreciation that you probably won't want to watch them ever again. The "Swing Blade" short film included in the bonus features, however, I could watch again and again and again until my eyeballs shrivel; it's hilarious!However much fans of this movie rave about it (and I count myself as one of those), "Swingers" admittedly isn't going to be to everyone's taste. I would recommend renting it first to see if it's your kind of film, and if it is, THEN buy it. It's an exceptionally good kick-back-and-relax film to watch while downing a few cocktails, either alone or with your friends.

Great film. Thanks.

A friend told me about this film years ago but never really sold it to me. It was only recently I got around to watching with a friend and instantly bought myself a copy!It's a great guy film - although at times a little cringey!

First watched this back in 1998. After having lived in LA for a while, i can relate to the weird and wonderful life of a wanna-be-actor can be like, particulalry on the hollywood scene. I find parts of the script just fabulous. recommend this to anyone.

Great. This comes with both a DVD and a Blu-ray, as well as a digital version. I have not watched the DVD nor the digital as I have standards; but the blu ray is amazing. The visuals look clean and crisp. Great remaster, and also the case is wonderful and came with no scratches. This is a must-buy.

Watch this if you just got dumped! (some spoilers below) This will make you feel slightly better. Its about a guy (Favereau) who just broke up/dumped (same thing) with his long time girlfriend and yearns to get back together with her (you know, you been there, he's checking his phone messages, praying that she leaves a message). This was filmed before cell phones were ubiquitous. His best friend (Vaughn) encourages him to go out on the "game", partly to help Favereau forget about his girlfriend but also partly for his own selfish reasons, as he wants a "wingman" to help him score.They decide to go Vegas to gamble and to pick up women but all Favereau can think about is his ex girlfriend. He has a chance to get laid with some cocktail waitress but ends up talking to her about his ex-girlfriend. Its so bad that he even uses the phone in her friends trailer to call her and in the meantime, cockblocks Vaughn. Anyway you get jist, the guy can't let go. He's talking about her non-stop, because he is still in love with her. While playing golf he tells his other friend, Livingston that he hasn't mentioned her once today.Vaughn together with Livingston persists in trying to get Favereau to get over his girlfriend, playing videogames, going to parties and bars. One hilarious moment is when Favereau tries to pick up this girl at a party and the first thing she asks him "is what car he drives".Favereau's reluctance to let go ultimately annoys one of Vaughn's friends who speaks the truth and calls him a "whiny little bitch who hasn't got laid in a year". Favereau then plucks up the courage to call a girl (on the same night, ignoring the 2 days industry standard) whom he picks up in a bar, only to be cut off by her answering machine many times. He continues to leave messages, telling her about his relationship and even at one point breaking up with the girl he just picked up. The girl ultimately picks and tells him not to ever call again.Favereau then slips into despair and spends 2 days in his apartment reminiscing about his girlfriend. Livingston then visits him and reminds him his glass is half full and tells him to get over his girlfriend. Its only when Livingston recounts his break up experiences, that Favereau finally wakes up.He then goes out with the guys and back on the game, where he picks up the gorgeous, young Heather Graham at a bar.If you just broke up with your girl (no guy admits he's been dumped) then you should watch his. It may not ease the pain, but hopefully it will wake you up.

90年代に20代の大人の青春(バー、クラブ、恋愛)をすごした人には特に楽しめる映画だと思います。ＬＡのバーやクラブなどもとても興味深い。スイングミュージックやシナトラ、ディーンマーティンなどのをはじめとする音楽、サウンドトラックも最高！おすすめの映画です。
