Every guy can appreciate the plot of trying to get back into the (dating) game after a long-term relationship. In this movie, you see how he comes through it both in terms of his "swinging" friends AND in spite of them. The tone of the dialogue is very similar to the movie "Clerks" but with a much better tempo. There is also some great music cameos by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. This is a good movie for the guy's night of poker or drinking. However, I doubt many of the gals will be too keen as the fellas on this one (mine couldn't get into it and she likes Swing Music). Otherwise, have a "gin and tonic" with this one with the boys and enjoy.

An all-around good movie worth seeing. The plot is pretty basic: Quick-thinking kid from a broken family that he loved. He spent the next few years playing a pilot, doctor, and lawyer. Think "Pretender" (the television series) but based on real events. The surprise was the unique relationship of the FBI agent and the con-man in their cat-and-mouse chase they have over the years around the globe. An engaging film that you are curious to see how it ends. That goes even for my girlfriend who stayed awake for the entire movie because she was captivated by it [Note: she has slept thru "Gladiator", "Shakespeare in Love", "Elizabeth", and the "Fellowship of the Ring" because they (apparently) didn't peak her interest]. So if your date is the discriminating-type, he/she should be able to sit through this movie and enjoy it.
