It's Money, Baby!
This is the second DVD release of Swingers and this time they got it right! The movie itself is excellent, one of my favorite 90's releases and the DVD presentation just makes it better.
Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen the movie image is much improved over the previous release and just about as good as Swingers is ever going to look. Remember, this was a low budget flick.
Audio is in English 2.0 surround and sounds pretty darned good. Dialogue is clear and understandable, and lets face it, that's what matters in this kind of film.
In terms of supplements you get two commentaries. The first by director Doug Liman and the film's editor. It is an interesting and lively track that you should enjoy listening to. The second commentary is with stars Jon Favreau & Vince Vaughn and is hugely entertaining. I have to beleive this is the first DVD commentary to utilize Telestrator technology! This is a good, fun commentary track. Next up is a well put togethere 45 minute documentary on the making of Swingers featuring a bunch of cast interviews. The Cutting Room Floor feature includes 5 alternate and extended takes including some great ad-libbing from Vince Vaughn during the video game hockey scene. Swingers Mania Gallery shows somes stills and promotional items from the film and isn't really very interesting. Last up is Swing Blade, a 3 minute trailer for a ficticious movie that has the character from Sling Blade trying to pick up women in bars. It doesn't really have anything to do with Swingers, but it is funny.
You should definitely pick up this disk!
Lame
To borrow a "witty" line from the movie, this movie is so NOT money. Tries to be too hip, too cool, too indy. People don't act this way.
Shallow and less than exciting. I know some people want to go buy this movie and watch it like 50 times or something, but not me.
Vegas Baby, Vegas!
How can I begin to comment on how amaizing this film is. I've never written a review on amazon[.com] before but if there was ever a time to do it, it was for Swingers. This movie tells it how live realy is. From the dating scene, to struggling actors in LA, and the LA party scene, its got it all. What's so incredible about this movie is that it only cost $250,000 to make and was shot in under a month. The chemistry between actors is so perfect that only a good group of friends could of pulled off. All the improvised lines and random unprectible actions of the actors makes you wanting more..which is why Made is another film i'd highly reccomend. Give this movie a shot and I can guarentee you will be calling women, "beautiful babies" within no time! This movie is totally easy to relate to and at the same time, very entertaining. As is the long lasting apeal. I can watch this movie over and over. Definatley check out the special edition version to hear the commentaries and special features. Enjoy!
