What happens

Swingers is a 1996 American buddy comedy film directed by Doug Liman and written by Jon Favreau. The film follows the lives of single, unemployed actors living on the 'eastside' of Hollywood, California, during the 1990s swing revival. It stars Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston, Patrick Van Horn, Alex Désert, and Heather Graham. A critical and commercial hit, the film helped propel Favreau, Vaughn, Graham, and Livingston to stardom, while also launching Liman's directing career as he won the award for Best New Filmmaker at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards. This film was rated #58 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies". The film was honored on the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards.
