Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Indi film for the broken hearted..., Feb 4 2004

I recommend this film to all my friends who just got left in the dust of a long relationship. Good story line. Good Writing. Well directed. Some of the most naturalistic acting I've seen in a long time. Makes me want to move to LA and get a life.

Watch it...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great film but damaged case, May 25 2009

This review is from: Swingers / C�libataires en cavale (DVD)

I love this movie, but when I ordered it on Amazon.ca the case was damaged where you open it to take out the DVD. This has happened with another movie I purchased where it looked like someone had cut it with a utility knife (maybe when they opened the box the dvds were in). Anyway the movie was great but if you were planning on buying something as a gift from Amazon, keep in mind that it may not be in perfect condition.
