Swingers - 5

This film deals with the difference between "scoring" a chic and having a relationship with a woman. They often look the same in most films. The movie revolves around a group of friends who are single and looking for work in Hollywood. The main character, Mike, has ended a relationship of six years in order to move from NY to LA. His friends keep giving him advice about how to get over it. He eventually meets someone as confused about relationships as he is and he finally is able to let go of the past and live more fully in the present. The acting is well done, especially Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston (Office Space). A reasonably well done film, but mostly famous for a few famous lines like: "You're so money and you don't even know it.", "Baby, that was money! Tell me that wasn't money.", and "And it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack, you know?"
