Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe movie is loosely based on the experiences writer Jon Favreau had when he first moved to Los Angeles. He had just broken up with a long term girlfriend and counted on his friends Vince Vaughn and Ron Livingston to cheer him up. The characters they play in the film are based on themselves.
- GoofsIn the first scene, Mike's answering machine disappears after he listens to his messages and then calls Trent. And later his base disappears
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the movie when the cast is shown (3 pic) the names of the starring actors' parents appear again: $100 Gambler: Vernon Vaughn and $5 Winner: Joan Favreau
- Alternate versionsItalian theatrical and video release omit a scene set in Las Vegas in the trailer park, where Trent tells the girl the story about his audition for the role of "brother".

Featured review
How times change...
I just watched this movie today and it gave me a revelation, of sorts, that every movie like this (subject matter centred on human interaction) is a snapshot of a brief moment in time. The way that these guys pick up girls, leave a message on their machine is now completely obsolete! Mobile phones - text messages have come in to play. If this movie were to be an accurate representation of the pick up scene these days it'd have to be remade. I guess there are some things that never change though (always double down on 11, well almost always :P) P.S. I made these observations after watching swingers whilst drinking a few beers and proceeding to go to a bar, try to pull out some 'money' lines and f*ck up any chances I had with many beautiful babies. I just decide to keep drinking and here I am, at home, writing pointless comments on IMDb, oh well...
