The Deeper Meaning of Swingers

At first the movie seems like a movie about a bunch of dudes in Vegas hooking up in clubs, bars and partying. There all drinking, having a good time, and looking for love. The movie isn't entirely about that though. The main character is Mike who is looking for opportunities by networking at parties getting and giving business cards that kind of deal. He is trying to make it as an actor, that is his career goal, but even though he is broke with no job, he is at least doing something about it. Too bad mike is a a nervous wreck, to say the least, especially since he has not gotten over his ex girlfriend, being broken up for 6 months and still can not think of moving on without her. This fact really hits him hard on meeting with girls. He also isn't the smoothest with the ladies.

Mike is our main character and at first I would say he is the most awkward. For instance Mike is not the keenest gambler. He over thinks it too much but inevitably loses most of his money. The word here is money, which brings me to the second main character Trent, Trent is ''money'' which in this movie means that you are cool, looking good, overall know how to party. The movie starts off with mike and Trent going to Vegas mostly so Mike can break out of his shell, and get over his ex-girlfriend. His fist step was to let go of the past. They go from party to party every day, dink all the time, and meeting new girls and old friends. Mike at first has trouble with the ladies. Fortunately with trial and error Mike eventually got the hang of being money. Mike eventually does let go of the past and moves on .at one point he had the choice right in front of him, he could have chosen to go back, but he chose to move on. A new relationship and new start.

 Its never too late to get out there and do something with it. Reach for your goals. Don't be afraid to take some risk, to be what you want to be. Get out there and meet new people to connect with. Keep on living and moving forward, and don't let the past hold you back.
