★ 4.8 editorial score
Jon Favreau wrote it about his own bad year and they shot in real bars without permits: two hundred thousand dollars total, and the answering machine scene is unbearable in the best way.
“A certain type of man can come out of "Swingers" labelling himself "money", grab a "wingman" and prowl for "beautiful babies" and he'd be missing the point entirely. It wasn't about pulling. It wasn't about front. It was about a homosocial bond so strong (some might say suffocating, some have said sexual) that these friends had developed their own language.”
