Editorial Reviews "...Writing, directing and acting are all pitch-perfect in a party movie that keeps spinning funny, sexy and touching surprises..." Rolling Stone - p.78 - Peter Travers
"...Terrific....[Liman scores] from Favreau's exuberantly witty script....[Vaughn is] a scene-stealer..." -- Rating: A Entertainment Weekly - p.46 - Owen Gleiberman
"...Sweet and funny....SWINGERS is a winningly confident snapshot of the nightlives of a bunch of young showbiz wannabes....Engaging, refreshingly human in its humor and becomingly modest in its aspirations..." Variety - Todd McCarthy
"...A guy film that gives you something to latch onto....Ruefully funny and unpretentious, with an air of relaxed and confident hipness, SWINGERS is helped along by a clever script and the not surprising fondness it feels for its characters..." Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/18/1996)
"...The movie is sweet, funny, observant and goofy..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/25/1996)
"Favreau's script crackles with sharply amusing, endlessly quotable dialogue..." Uncut - Andrew Sumner (07/01/2005)
"Liman's very quotable debut offsets its outer hipness with a compassion for its characters' vulnerabilities." Sight and Sound - Matthew Leyland (07/01/2005)
