For anyone who wants to catch a glimpse of the Los Angeles "lounge" scene that was in vogue during the early and mid-1990s, here's the movie that virtually defined that brief but colorful nightlife milieu. As an added bonus, it just happens to be a very funny, observant story about love, loss, and male bonding among a group of friends who struggle to find decent jobs by day, and lurk through Hollywood's hottest nightclubs by night. A sort of latter-day Rat Pack, they include Mike (writer-actor Jon Favreau) and his closest buddy, Trent (Vince Vaughn), who are waiting for the big show-biz break that seems to be eluding them. Mike's twisted up about the girlfriend he left back East to pursue his going-nowhere standup comedy career, and Trent uses the word "money" as an adjective ("Man, we look totally money tonight") with such frequency that you may find yourself slipping into lounge-lizard mode after watching the movie. One of the most noteworthy indie-film success stories of the '90s, this time-capsule comedy seized its moment in the spotlight, launched several promising careers, and continues to maintain its lasting appeal. --Jeff Shannon

Sheer Perfection. BIG $$ ain't the key to a good film!.......2007-05-29

Jon Favreau wrote a fantastic script; Doug Liman directed a great flick; Vince Vaughn owned the film. 'Nuf said!

OK, maybe a little more. This has got to be one of, if not THE, greatest indie films of all time.

And, like I said, BIG MONEY doesn't make a great movie. There have been plenty of big dollar box office flops, but you can probably count on 1 hand (maybe 2) the number of films that were made for what equates to peanuts and still totally own every minute on the screen.

This was an instant cult classic, acclaimed by critics, and it got the big-time attention it deserved later on.

Mike, an every day "joe", broke up with his girl, moved to L.A. to be a comedian, and settled in to a long time funk. His "west coast" pals, some real characters (enter Vince Vaughn and Patrick Van Horn), give him all the right advice which Mike uses at the wrong time. His "east coast" pal (Ron Livingston) tries to keep Mike grounded.

But, basically what you get is a train wreck in the love department, backlit by the glitz of Vegas and the back-alley bar scene of L.A. Anyone can relate to Mike and most of us have had moments like the other guys too.

Just check out this movie. A review or summary just can't do it justice. It is intelligent, sappy (in a good way), relatable and HILARIOUS.

FYI, great soundtrack to boot.

Terrific "old school" feel good movie!.......2007-05-28

Great movie, with lots of one-liners, and a must-see for the serious Vince Vaughn fan. Jon Favreau is perfect as his buddy, Mike, whose lines in the movie cannot be forgotten. Captures the ideal late '90's swing era to a T.

Go, Daddy-O!.......2007-05-24

Few films have explored the pain of being a 20-something single as hilariously as Doug Liman's classic "Swingers." If you've never seen this film, which packs a bevy of memorable scenes and spawned several catch phrases ("You're so money!"), it's high time you checked it out.

"Swingers" follows the ups and downs (mostly downs) of Mike (Jon Favreau), a struggling actor who has recently moved to Los Angeles from New York. When he moved, he left behind a girlfriend of six years, and he hasn't been able to get her off his mind, a problem that's exasperated by his lack of success on the L.A. singles scene.

Fortunately for Mikey, he's got some buddies who are bent on cheering him up, most notably the smooth-talking Trent (Vince Vaughn), who convinces Mike to make an impromptu trip to Vegas to wash away his problems with gambling, women and booze. It's the first of many unsuccessful (and roaringly funny) forays into the singles scene for Mikey, who is alternately too nice, too nervous, and too neurotic to achieve any level of success with the ladies.

This sort of material has been mined with much less success by many movies, but "Swingers" has three noteworthy forces working for it: star Favreau's superb script, a great cast and Liman's top-notch direction.

The witty screenplay delivers enough laughs and memorable lines to reward repeat viewings, from Trent's boast that he's going to "Find me two cocktail waitresses and pull me a Fredo" to a hilarious conversation between Mike, Trent and the rest of the crew about how long you should wait before calling a girl whose "digits" you got.

Liman, who also directed the excellent "Go," throws in a a number of deft touches that add to the script. Check out the slo-mo walking scene that's an amusing homage to Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." Or the unusual imagery complete with "Jaws" music to illustrate Trent's growing discomfort with a girl he just met.

The ensemble cast is terrific, with special kudos to the two leads, Favreau and Vaughn. Favreau is outstanding as the lovable nice-guy loser Mike, giving a deeply funny and even touching performance. Case in point: Mike's ill-advised attempt to leave a message on the answering machine of a hottie he met just a few hours before. As the womanizing Trent, Vaughn exudes star charisma, delivering his lines with flair without falling into cartoonish excess.

Despite its low budget and unknown (at the time) director and cast, "Swingers" became a modest indie hit. Now, a decade after its release, great word-of-mouth buzz has transformed it into a deserving cult classic.

A fair treatise on the random order of Life.......2007-05-12

The turbulence, despair, and despondency of navigating the multiple persons that occupy the space between significant relationships is obvious in this film. Although the production of this movie is fair, the arbitrary chance at play in meeting someone of significance is painfully well-represented here. Although I think this movie gets better with a second view, and it is a possible "sleeper", I would not consider it as part of a "Collector's Series" - seems like a stretch, an overzealous marketing effort.

Buy it for Mindy.......2006-09-13

There is only one reason to buy this and one only, Mindy Vega. It's the first and only DVD available of her. See her in all her glory two G/G including a good opening scene with a latino who was in a Chica Boom adult video. And then a boy/girl for the close. Mindy has her own web-cam business and hasn't done much with Torchlight or Playboy. What a shame. She looks as good as Eva Longoria. Dark eyes, long dark hair. A work of art, which was the plot line is about. Some artist moves in and bugs here. Torchlight spent a little more money on this one and has a different director for a change.

Customer Reviews:

Great DVD to view.......2006-11-19

This is a very nice DVD of action, starting minute 1 . You can see erotic scenes standing, sitting, sleeping, everywhere. And these are really hot scnenes.

Calli Cox starts hot and her man is not keeping any part of her body away from his hands and ... Monica Mayhem plays the leading game, very good body, and makes love very lovely. .

I highly recommend this DVD, and it is full action. Who cares about a story in these films, you want action, don't you?

For Torchlight Pictures, pretty darn good........2005-07-05

Let me qualify the five stars first. Trinity Home Entertainment, aka Torchlight Pictures, makes movies that are more like a hardcore adult film in that there is very little plot. I do emphasize very little. However, nothing explicit is ever shown, which is why their movies are available on Amazon.

With that said, this is a good pick from them. For the stats, there are five scenes, all boy-girl. There are two guys, Frank Mercuri and Eric Price. One guy is in four scenes. The other guy is in the last scene. Forgive me for being biased, but I'm not sure who is who, and I don't really care.

There are five ladies, and each has one scene. Calli Cox opens the movie. She has no lines, but in my opinion gives the second best performance of the film. Monica Mayhem plays the female lead, which means she has two paragraphs of dialogue. Some mystery woman, short brown hair, petite frame, stars in the third scene. (Tisk, tisk, Torchlight, you could at least credit the lady!) Lola has another scene. Her scene has some funny dialogue, for Torchlight, leading up to it. Finally, Zana finishes things off. Her scene is notable because she is the only girl who doesn't share her scene with the same guy that was in every other scene up to that point. It also has some hilarious, for Torchlight, dirty talk during, and immediately after, the consummation. For this talk, I rate this the best overall scene of the film.

Like I said, Torchlight is more similar to a real adult film than a softcore film from Indigo or others. Plot is really light. The movie has nothing to do with swingers, and I wouldn't be surprised if they filmed it in Toronto instead of Hollywood. However, $10 is the price for a lunch, so you won't get ripped off. Just know what you're buying beforehand. I recommend this title, with these provisions attached.

the greatest movie without george lucas.......2004-07-17

George Lucas directed this epic masterpiece about a Russian poet and life during the Russian Revolution. With trains, planes and automobiles, this rip-roaring slugfest features some of the best boxing sequences you will ever see. Sly was really at his best. This film is a treasure. [...]

"IF I WAS GAY I COULD GET LAID ON THE SUBWAY.".......2004-07-15

Vince Vaughn is on a roll. I cannot think of a single bad movie he has ever made. "Made" is his very best. He is absolute genius in this spoof on gangster films, but so is everybody else. Jon Favreau plays his straight man, as usual, and is at his laconic best, but check out "Puff Daddy" Combs as some kind of gang leader in New York. Combs almost steals this show. In fact, everybody in every scene steals the show throughout - the fat black guy who is Combs' right hand man, the Scottish drug merchant (the "Red Dragon"), and how about Peter Falk as a smarmy L.A. Mob guy?

This flick has everything, including backstory and character development. Vaughn and Jon played football at Hollywood High but blew the Fairfax game because Jon got caught stealing, but Vince took the heat, so there is a reason for their loyalty to each other. Jon's girlfriend is a stripper who hooks on the side, but Jon refuses to see it. He gets a gig through stripper entrepreneur Falk - go to New York because they need some "strong arm guineas." The plane ride is insane with Vaughn screwing up and breaking every rule set before them. In the Apple he just goes off the deep end in a world of laughs, spoofs, hilarity and laconic irony. In the end, Vaughn's alcohol- and sleep-deprived paranoia saves their lives, and upon return to L.A. the girlfriend is revealed as a coke whore. Jon has a heart of gold whern he "adopts" her beautiful daughter, and Vince now seems to have grown up, just a little.

This is a cult classic. It should be up there with "Old School", "Swingers", "Animal House", "Caddyshack" - you name it.(...)

Favreau rocks.......2003-02-16

I don't know how anyone can rate "Made" at one star. That's just insulting. It's extremely well written, directed and acted. Peter Falk was a great touch. Great cameos and awesome dialogue. Swingers is a great accomplishment for a low budget movie. I think that our mega-budget american directors would really be hard pressed to put together such a complete and well rounded movie... I look forward to anything favreau is envolved in in the future.

5 Stars for Made.......2002-08-31

Gimme a break. Made is hot. I think Favreau did a great job writing, directing and starring. Vaughn is just plain awesome, as always.

Nah, it's not Swingers 2, but that's fine since I didn't really care much for Swingers. I just don't get all the people who are upset that they haven't made sequels to Pulp Fiction, or Swingers, or etc. I happen to like a little creativity and I welcome change.

Product Description

Despite Diana's insecure nature, her husband Julian talks her into sexually experimenting with another couple. An ad on the net attracts experienced Alexandra (Alex) and Timo. When confronted with the self-confident and ravishingly sexy Alex, Diana's insecurity increases. A jaded Timo seems detached in sharp contrast to the boyish excitement of Julian. But as the games begin, Timo is far from casual; Diana's initial shyness is replaced with an enthusiasm; and Julian begins to doubt the scene he has initiated. 'Swingers' is more about revelation than sex. We think we know the people we share our lives with, but can we ever really know another's inner demons or passions. Could your relationship stand the 'Swingers' test?

Big Disappointment.......2007-03-16

Let first start by saying that the rating is shown as X. Well in all honesty, this film is probably equivilant to an R rated film. The sex and nudity is muted, particularly the sex. This came out of Munich Germany. There were others that came out of Munich about the same time that were much better. They may have come from the same studio, I really don't remember. Three come to mind, "Girls Who Love Girls", "Six Swedes On Campus" and "Six Swedes on a Pump". These were all German sex comedies and
were pretty good. There were others of the same type probably from the same studios. This was not one of the better ones. If you are curious, you
would be better off renting it if you can find it. Charlie S.

Customer Reviews:

If you've read the book, DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM.......2006-04-21

I am so upset by how bad an adaptation this is that I am lost for words that could be displayed here. I shall proceed profanity free any how.
Everything good about the novel is lost in this movie, the soundtrack is gut-wrenchingly awful (the irony being that at the end of the version I watched, thay actually advertised in the credits where you could download it), the majority of the characters are completely hollow (I do not beleive for one second they even read the original), and to top it off the costume and design is completely contrived and just plain wrong. Last but not least the biggest mistake was transposing the story to present day. Marsh gave the weakest performance out of the lot, and his direction was severly lacking as well. What should be a dark, funny, chilling and intriguing examination of the human psyche, came out as souped up 'post-trainspotting' trash. Martin Amis apparently gives it his seal of approval, all I can say is he must have been on drugs.

Nihilist Epic.......2005-04-12

This picture is a quintessential nihilist picture. If you share the value system that life has no meaning or value, you may find some comfort in the Conceptualists from this film. William Marsh who plays the drug-dealing Marvel in the film also directed and wrote the screenplay. I have no idea what the feud entailed between Marsh and producer Holmes' final cut of the film, but I doubt it could essentially be less dreadful. Paul Bettany has shown himself to have a great range from "Wimbledon" to "Gangster No. 1," so I wanted to see this film. As the self-absorbed Quentin, he turns in another performance that surpasses the material. Titled "Dead Babies" in England, "Mood Swingers" shows a group of bored and insecure people getting together for the weekend for drugs and free sex. Olivia Williams who starred as the mother in "Peter Pan" and the wife in "The 6th Sense" is a bored and restless woman looking for kicks. Alexandra Gilbreath plays Bettany's wife and is equally restless for some unnamed satisfaction. She looks nice dancing in her sheer floral print blouse, but one hardly understands what draws the character to this loose company. Andy Nyman as the pimple-faced heavy-set loser who prances around in his bathrobe wondering why he can't find a lover turns in one of the best performances. Charlie Condon as Giles also does a nice job as the insecure weakling who worries about his teeth. Kris Marshall does a great job as the part psycho/part victim/part gay crazy Skip. Added to this is the nymphomaniac Roxanne played by Hayley Carr and Lucy who has the rep as a loose woman. All in all, the plot twists through the Conceptualists invading the weekend party and unexpectedly turns to a pile of corpses. While certainly foreshadowed, the ending still seems to come out of left field. In the end, watching this film is mostly a waste of time and money. Taxi!

Watch Out for First Look Home Entertainment Version.......2004-12-11

This is the version I got stuck with. Completely linear. No chapters, no menus, no special features, but a decent transfer of FULL FRAME Version. Hit the menu button or chapter advance and you start the whole movie over. May as well be VHS. Buyers beware! Ask your sellers which version your getting. Too bad because this is a fun film.

Technical minor point.......2004-06-25

Good film but the version Amazon.ca is selling is not widescreen. It starts off in the widescreen format but that lasts about a minute during the opening credits and for the rest of the film, except for the end credits, it's in the full frame/standard format.

Dark, Brave & Funny.......2002-03-18

Be prepared, this is not a comfortable movie to sit through. No easy options, no pandering to 'cool' drug images and no safe resolutions. This is an incredibly faithful adaptation of Amis's blistering novel. The movie pulls no punches and has an effect that very few movies manage to achieve, this is an EXPERIENCE. Marsh's debut is incredibly assured and gives me high hopes for his next project, beautifully lit and shot it defies it low budget roots. If only more British movies were made like this. I first saw this in it's UK cinema release and was blown away by it. Not domestically available yet in the UK, I now own the region 1 DVD - which is a great transfer. The movies relatively unknown cast is as strong and brave as the subject matter. Marsh clearly has a flare with actors; top honours don't go to Bettany and Williams, but to the unknown Charlie Condu as Giles and Andy Nyman as Keith who delivers an incredible career making debut. It was despised and buried in the UK, loved in Europe and hideously title changed to 'Mood Swingers' in the U.S. But if you like your films smart, brave and non-patronising, this will make your top ten. Ignore what anyone else says, have the balls to make up your own mind - you'll thank me. Trust me, come back in 5 years time and the cult status will be huge.
