Gina Fattore Chicago Reader 06/15/2022
Here is pure exuberance, without all that messy nostalgic yearning. Here is a movie unafraid to come right out and showcase the sheer idiot joy involved in being a boy among boys. Go to Full Review Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune 03/04/2019
3/4
"Swingers" doesn't really add up to much -- except a good time. But it's smart, funny and cute. With all that going for you, who needs to be money? Go to Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine 10/04/2009
Four guys hang out, kid one another, get into scuffles and flash their gonadal searchlight for available women. Yikes, haven't there been enough variations on the multiple-buddy movie? Actually, no. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Jul 23
4/5
Nearly 30 years later, Swingers still holds up as a sharply observed, often hilarious snapshot of post-breakup angst and Hollywood ambition. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 11/13/2022

...a low-key premise that’s employed to engaging and frequently hilarious effect... Go to Full Review Don Shanahan 25YL (25 Years Later) 09/17/2021

Wholly admiring bygone eras, this little indie darling bucked the mainstream and dazzled those looking for something dreamy, yet still honest, for its coarse present day. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jay O 1d Great film great script great acting See more Jack F @MovieFan111 5d It was a cool movie from what I remember. I'd like to see it again. See more Mark F. @MarkJames77 Jan 2 I don’t know if there’s a movie that I enjoy more than Swingers. I’d love to see festivals getting back to finding these types of low budget gems that cut through and become classics. Anora and CODA were great, but I do not count them as actual indie movies in the way that Swingers is. See more bryce h @Brycecritique Dec 30 What is the fascination with no endings in movies? So sick of it! I would have loved to see Mike build his relationship? Am I alone in this? See more ILL M Nov 27 One of those movies that stands out for being singular and unique. This also gave a clear indication of how charismatic Vince Vaughn was and surely came to be. See more Chester K Jul 10 You're so money baby!!! Love this movie so much!! See more Read all reviews
