I was blown away when I saw the movie. I watched it three times right afterwards and I watch it almost 3x a week. The expression is magnificant and the way they actors portray the characters is unbelievable. Right away I fell in love w/ vince vaughn and after I read the book and I love him even more! Fantastic!

I remember when i first heard about swingers many years ago. I didnt even know what it was about, but something made me want to see it. When i did i was blown away. I have never seen a movie like this. I was so use to the big action packed movies and never realized there was a whole other field of films out there. Ever since i saw swingers i have been a huge fan. I was also very infactuated by the character Mikey. He has become a sort of a idle for me, or at least someone who i look up too. A while ago i saw this screenplay and bought it. I was even more suprised to see that Jon Favreau was the writer. Jon Favreau was also Mikey in the film. Jon has inspired me to change who i am, and i have. I am also very interested in the film industry and started writing screenplays myself, and i used the screenplay to swingers to start me out writing my own. I owe everything to Jon Favreau I used to be a adolescent punk, now i live in hollywood and have friends that can't be better. I am also trying to get into directing. I learned that maturity means your pleasure isn't worth someone elses pain. Might i say all my friends now are very mature. Thanks alot Jon if i ever get a big movie deal i'm looking you up. take care all. bye.

A great book! A must have for the die-hard fan. Vince's rules of dating and the enclosed glossary of terms are hilarious! John Favreau and Vince Vaughn are here to stay!

Whether or not you've seen the movie or bought the soundtrack, the screenplay is definitely worth reading. In his intro, Favreau discusses what it took for him to write this screenplay and get it made into a movie. His dialogue is brilliant and realistic. He also leaves this as it was originally written, without the parts that were added during the making of the movie. You'll notice some of Vince Vaughn's lines are changed and a certain character in the movie is more prevalent. If you're fascinated what a great movie's screenplay looks like, this is it.

This is a great companion piece to the film. The screenplay differs slightly from what is spoken in the film, but this is what Favreau originally wrote and is why the movie came about. The introduction, rules, and glossary are all nice added features.

This book is so MONEY, and you don't even know it! Everyone should buy this book, whether your a dork, a nerd, heck, even a ROUNDER should buy this book. Not only is Jon Favreau the man, but he is also the greatest inspration in my life. "Swingers: A Screenplay and the Swinger Rules" teaches the average joe everything from getting the DIGITS to catching a BEAUTIFUL BABY for yourself. Without this book, life is just PUPPY DOGS AND ICE CREAM. This is the one step-self-help guide to getting the BEAUTIFUL BABIES, using your WINGMAN effectively, and learning how to feel the VIBE a PARTY GIRL could be sending you at a PARTY. Although some DIGITS come with BUISNESS CLASS PARTY GIRLS, BUSINESS CLASS always equals BUSINESS A$$. With Favreau's "Swingers: A Screenplay and the Swinger Rules," you will never, ever be SHAQED. I guarentee it. So after you go to AMAZON.COM, and buy the book, you'll be MONEY, and YOU WILL KNOW IT!

this is one of the classic modern movies, get the script and memorize every great line to annoy your friends with.

One of the funniest, greatest screenplays ever. Favreau, with his originality, portrayed the life of a man and his friends in the Hollywood area. It deals with the problems of women, dating, and the nightlife of Mike (Jon Favreau). Great screenplay and movie. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for??
