Analysis of Swingers

Set against the backdrop of the mid 1990’s Los Angeles club scene, Swingers, gives us an engaging and realistic look into the L.A. singles life, and serves as a parable for all of those out there that have looked for love, failed and have had the courage to get up and try again. The story centers around Mike (Jon Favreau), a struggling comedian and a generally “nice guy“, that has not gotten over breaking …

…the everyman character of Mike. From smoke filled clubs and bars to Las Vegas casinos to the stuffy apartments of the protagonists, Swingers takes the audience on a journey through what it is to be hip, without being pretentious about the way it does it. So I would ask you to light your cigar, raise your glass and give a toast to a movie that shows us that nice guys don’t always finish last.
