Swingers (1996)
Great music... and that's it
I'll be honest, I only watched this movie because I purchased it as part of an iTunes bundle package.
There were too many lines in this movie that were demeaning to women. It seems like the writers wanted the main character to be a "down to earth lovable nice guy" when really he was an asshole. The cherry on top of the numerous "skank" comments was about college girls; "The girls are young, they drink - They don't know any better." wow.
The main character also claims that he wants his ex "to be happy" when he really means he wants her to get back with him. "Why won't she call?" Then when she does call and confesses that she loves him, he tells her he'll call her back and never does. Oh, but he just wants her to be happy.
A lot of other characters were tools. Also, the costumes were just awful. Maybe on purpose?
Despite all this, the music in the movie is really good. They're songs written and performed by others unrelated to the production of this movie, but still, a nice collection. For that, I gave Swingers three stars.
