Swingers (the movie) - Classic or Dud?

the choice of the swing revival as the scene to use is probably the single lamest thing and yeah vince vaughn is really good and was never this good again, but the seeds of his whole lazy dead-eyed douche schtick that he made his subsequent career on are all here, it's just masked with an energy he never captured again. in retrospect he's kind of an embarrassing star. the gender stuff is pretty lame, this is definitely a dudebro POV film in the least interesting sense.

it is kind of funny to see this as a time capsule of that swing scene. The Derby is now a Chase bank, after the swing thing faded it turned into a pay-to-play venue for local musicians and then quietly shut its doors.
