Set against the backdrop of the mid 1990’s Los Angeles club scene, Swingers, gives us an engaging and realistic look into the L.A. singles life, and serves as a parable for all of those out there that have looked for love, failed and have had the courage to get up and try again. The story centers around Mike (Jon Favreau), a struggling comedian and a generally “nice guy“, that has not gotten over breaking …
