Review of Swingers (1996) by Lewis E — 09 May 2015

Short of being hilarious but a solid comedy which chooses not to force the jokes but rather give an honest depiction of a guy (a young, much thinner Jon Favreau) whose buddies are trying to help him get over an ex-girlfriend.

It makes good observations on the variation of male personalities in a group while the story remains grounded through not over-dramatising the relatable social situations these friends are involved in.

There is certainly quite a lot of room for it to be funnier yet it suffices due to its realistic representation of male bonding and humorously accurate suggestions on how to score with women. It also provides us with the cool term "You're so money" which I'm surprised hasn't become common dialect.
