You know a movie is making money when it launches the careers of its director (Doug Liman), his two stars (Jon Favreau, who also wrote the film, and Vince Vaughn), and worms its way into our lexicon, forever changing the way dudebros would speak for the rest of the '90s. Swingers is iconic, and rewatching it nearly three decades later shows how timeless its comedy's story of love, life, and friendship is, even though it's very much of its era, a time capsule of fashion, hobbies, and lingo. The new Blu-ray reissue of Swingers has a ton of special features (though none of them are new) and is worth checking out if you don't already own it.

"When a lovesick average Joe can't seem to get out of a relationship, his smooth, fast-talking sidekick decides he'll do whatever it takes to cheer them up. From three-martini lunches in smoky cocktail bars to an outrageous road trip to Vegas, these two young swingers are determined to rewrite the rules of modern dating. This hilarious comedy classic launched the careers of its stellar cast and captures the energy of '90s Los Angeles nightlife," the synopsis reads.

If you haven’t seen it before, Swingers is very much a hangout movie. While there’s a storyline about Favreau’s Mike getting his confidence back after a breakup, the story isn’t rushed and you get to hang out with some nightlife-loving bros. Vaughn’s Trent, an aspiring actor with all the confidence in the world, is the standout, though Ron Livingston also gives a great performance. There’s a fun energy throughout, with every scene in the film eliciting laughs, even if it’s something as simple as Vaughn playing NHL 94 on the Sega Genesis or talking about all the “beautiful babies” in Los Angeles.

Favreau is a fine lead, though it’s clear that Vaughn always had the movie star qualities of the group. Trent is also the most interesting character, because he’s simultaneously the coolest person you’ll ever meet, but also embarrassing and ultimately a bit of a loser. But more importantly, he’s a friend who wants you to feel good about yourself, always tries to have a good time, and is worth hanging out with, especially given Swingers’ brisk 96-minute runtime, which makes it a lot of fun to rewatch (especially the great ending sequence with Heather Graham).
