It's his best movie.

If you ever watch Dinner for Five on IFC, this movie seems to come up every time. Every movie he's written or directed since is similar to this one. I'd like to see him try his hand at something else. That answer machine sequence is based on an actual experience of his.

I thought I'd seen this before. I was dating a guy several years ago, and he said he'd heard this movie was good. He rented it, and I know we watched it. But my recollection was that I didn't like it. Actually... now that I've seen it again, I don't remember seeing it at all. I have a feeling I fell asleep. Not because it was boring, but because it was probably a Friday night after a long work week, and I probably had a drink or two. I've never been a very good Friday night date... just when the party gets going, I'm out like a light. Anyway... this is a super movie. Jon Favreau plays a guy who is trying to get over a break up. Vince Vaughn and a few other guys are his friends. There's a lot of humor about relationships and what guys think is the best way to get women.

One of my favorite scenes is when Favreau is calling a girl he met and her answering machine keeps cutting him off before he leaves his phone number. But he keeps calling back and leaves a totally neurotic set of phone messages. Poor guy... he just wants to find a nice girl.

Yay! for Swingers.
