Review::.

Swingers is one of the funniest movies to come out of the 90's. Hilarious and at times touching, the movie moves along through embarrassing moments and funny ones with ease. Jon's writing style is very honest and he gives us hard to watch scenes like the famous answering-machine scene but then can move on to something hysterically funny like the bunny rabbit scene.

Great writing and what should have been a star-making turn by an effervescent Vince Vaughn make this one a classic.
