The Swing of Things (2020) User Reviews

So Bad It's Almost Worth Studying

[erikarcher · 2/10 · 10 September 2020]

It's almost as if the writers and director took anything that would make sense in the movie, threw it out, stitched the rest of the extra scenes together and called it a "movie". +1 star cuz Olivia Culpo is hot.

A staggering lack of swinging for a swinging film.

If you are a drunk film student looking to feel better about your own work, look no further.

It's an OK movie

[fluffchop · 2/10 · 24 December 2021]

The story is potentially funny, but the movie isn't funny. There are some attempts at humor, but there is no humor. It's watchable and entertaining. I found myself wondering why Luke Wilson was in it every time I saw him on screen. I think everyone involved thought it would be hilarious because on paper it seems like a plausible premise for comedy hi-jinks. It just didn't turn out that way but it's an OK movie.

I made an account specifically for this movie

[buhmannt · 1/10 · 25 July 2020]

I've never been so critical of movies. This was an absolute disgusting waste of time.... I feel ashamed I wasted money on the premise this was entertainment the director needs to hang up his hat and walk away from this industry with shame. I don't feel the actors are bad, the directing and overall feel of movie is awful...

Wasted time in my life that I will never get back

[TheOtherMovieGuy · 1/10 · 4 July 2020]

Wow. This is a new low in the history of film making. This is a disjointed story that is held together with scotch tape, prayers and good old fashion sex but don't hold your breath guys, not even those scenes are good. This is all bad. It could have been a fun story but whoever wrote this script either stopped paying attention to the plot on the first day of writing and got high, or they were using an online app to randomly string together events. Calling this movie "ground breaking" makes you wonder if whoever made that comment were paying attention to the movie or plot at all. Seeing Luke Wilson in a film of this caliber, I come to the realization that the current economic climate creates desperation which forces talented actors to accept crazy scripts and odd jobs. No, my advice is to stay away from this movie. You'll have more fun watching your tumble dryer completing a cycle or organizing your sock drawer.

I Think I Know What Happened

[fleck05IMDB · 1/10 · 16 November 2020]

I gave it 20 minutes before taking a hard pass. Here is my theory... I think a bunch of Hollywood filmmakers wanted a tax write-off for a trip to a swinger's resort in Jamaica. They slapped together a ridiculous plot, filmed it as quickly and cheaply as possible, then used any leftover budget on resorts and drinks and whatever... with any out-of-pocket money they spent deducted on their taxes as a work expense. That's all I can think of - nobody possibly thought this movie was so good it had to be made.

Bomb

[novak5273 · 1/10 · 18 July 2020]

I can't believe I watched this even after reading the reviews here. Too bad you can't award zero stars. Story-line weak and little continuity. Even the sprinkling of T&A wasn't worth the time.

One of the worse movies ever made.

[natashahillocks · 1/10 · 18 July 2020]

This movie is pointless,stupid and horrible. It is filled with Jamaican sterotypes and a million "yea mon" phrases that are actually an annoying cultural perpetuation. The actors are some known individuals. I am so confused about Luke Wilson being in such a low budget movie with such an idiotic script. I cannot believe persons used money to make something so inferior. The audio was bad,editing was bad,plot and storyline nonexistent. ABSOLUTELY STUPID FILM. WASTE OF TIME,MONEY LOCATION AND ACTORS.

I burned my blu-ray copy!

[markolong7764 · 1/10 · 6 August 2020]

It took 5, yes 5 writers to come up with something this bad. How this was green lit is beyond me. This should never have seen the light of day. Talk about talented actors sinking to a new low. I get it, it was a job but have some dignity when choosing a project. Some of these actors need to turn in their SAG-AFTRA card and call it a day. I was so angry I spent money on this I went to the beach and burned this piece of....! This director should never, ever be allowed behind the camera again.

I would rather throw salt in my eyes than watch this again

[renzo_cuadros · 1/10 · 9 August 2020]

Yeah...my subject line says it all. This movie was awful on so may levels.

This makes CATS seem Oscar worthy

[penguinator-02689 · 22 February 2021]

94 minutes of my life wasted....has Luke Wilson's career gotten so dried up that he had to do this movie? My dog started barking half way through, so I muted the movie volume, as his barking was better than the dialogue. To the casts of Movie 43, CATS, Ishtar and Gigli - pop open a bottle of champagne....your movies are no longer the worst movie ever made!

So Accurate

[mckinleysarah · 8/10 · 18 September 2021]

This movie is awesome! Hedo gets a lot of bad press...I'm assuming they are from people who have never experienced the resort.

The movie is so accurate as far as the resort goes...story line is okay - could have been a little deeper.

Not THAT bad

[windsorenquirer · 6/10 · 14 July 2020]

It was one silly comedy, nothing serious, nothing really romantic. Much better than what they make these days, of course it could have been better but it was entertaining enough and definitely it wasn't as bad as other reviewers say.

What was that

[dax-1996 · 1/10 · 5 July 2020]

The movie is all over the place, story is 0 points, everything is so random, save yourself from this.

OMG! Such an awful movie

[toushik-92740 · 1/10 · 14 July 2020]

I feel it has fall upon me as a duty to warn others not to waste time on it. Its such a bad movie. I will never get that 94 minutes back.

Why would they do this?

[coni-cruz · 1/10 · 31 July 2020]

Can't believe how Adelaide Kane, Chord Overstreet and the other more seasoned actors (whose names aren't on the top of my head), can be desperate enough to do this movie. I can stand shallow, feel good movies or even American Pie-like humor, but this is not it. Really unfunny.

Not an overreaction- It's THAT bad.

[brettbalderson · 1/10 · 29 July 2020]

I don't usually give 1-star reviews, but this was truly horrific. I not only regret watching it, I feel bad for anyone associated with it. Luke Wilson either lost a bet, or was tricked into appearing in this film.

I would like to commend whomever cut the trailer, because they did an exceptional job of giving the impression that there is anything coherent, creative or entertaining going on here.

This is one-star because that is the lowest possible, and it is a LONG ways from deserving a second star.

Needs a negative rating

[Gilmoregirl-59340 · 1/10 · 6 September 2020]

I knew this movie would be BAD, but I thought it would at least be entertaining. I don't know why I sacrificed my time for this trash. My husband and I had multiple mojitos and even that couldn't help us hate watch this garbage film.

I'm so confused as to why any actors signed up for this-how this got green lit-how someone actually thought this movie was a good idea?

Practice self love, skip this movie.

Worst film I have ever seen.

[elaine-42443 · 1/10 · 2 August 2020]

It's not even funny in an ironic so bad its good way. Looks like a bunch of work experience kids made it. Embarrassing.

Don't waste your time

[mcheffo-20748 · 1/10 · 4 July 2020]

The big problem is that I will never get that 94 minutes back. Unfunny and crass. A waste of good talent. Could have been much funnier with better writing.

Don't. For the love of everything... DONT

[Rfgatestream · 1/10 · 19 September 2020]

Where do we begin with such a disjointed, mismatched, meaningless, hodge podge of a movie. It did not flow. The story line made no sense. The dialogue was disjointed. The acting was wooden. Some of the scenes, we can only assume, were added for specific comedic purposes. We are still waiting to laugh ..... Please don't watch this movie. You'll thank me later

Don't be such a prude!

[bn4994 · 10/10 · 5 July 2021]

Enjoy the movie for what it is... an hour and a half long advertisement for Hedonism II in Jamaica. Enjoy the beauty of the island. It was a good story after a rocky and confusing start.

Funny yet romantic

[asif_bge2002 · 6/10 · 2 October 2020]

Entertainmen. Like it. As i like travelling, i think, i should visit Jamaika, it's a beautiful place.

What did I just watch?

[urikim00 · 1/10 · 7 November 2020]

How was this movie even made? It has to be as a favor to some producers kid or something. Please someone explain.

Really, Really Bad

[kilolimakilo · 1/10 · 9 August 2020]

This movie gets two thumbs down and an extra long fart noise.
