Review of Swingers

Swingers (1996)
6/10
Yawn.
22 September 2001
A film about a bunch of struggling actors in Hollywood out to get laid. The focus is on Mike, who's still getting over the breakup of a long-term relationship, and whose best buddy Trent is trying to get him back into the dating scene. The performances aren't bad, and there's some great neo-swing music on the soundtrack, but I lost count of the number of times I said to myself "I saw that one coming" whenever something happened in the way of plot development. Worse, it's so blatantly trying to be cool and hip that a neon sign reading "Hey! We're hip!" would have been more subtle. Not a bad way to waste an afternoon if there's nothing on TV, but not one to run out and rent either.
