It's just so money, baby.
This is a great companion piece to the film. The screenplay differs slightly from what is spoken in the film, but this is what Favreau originally wrote and is why the movie came about. The introduction, rules, and glossary are all nice added features.

Mah-velous!!!!!!
A great book! A must have for the die-hard fan. Vince's rules of dating and the enclosed glossary of terms are hilarious! John Favreau and Vince Vaughn are here to stay!

This book is so MONEY, and you don't even know it!Everyone should buy this book, whether your a dork, a nerd, heck, even a ROUNDER should buythis book.Not only is Jon Favreau the man, but he is also the greatestinspration in my life."Swingers: A Screenplay and the SwingerRules" teaches the average joe everything from getting the DIGITS tocatching a BEAUTIFUL BABY for yourself.Without this book, life is justPUPPY DOGS AND ICE CREAM.This is the one step-self-help guide to gettingthe BEAUTIFUL BABIES, using your WINGMAN effectively, and learning how tofeel the VIBE a PARTY GIRL could be sending you at a PARTY.Although someDIGITS come with BUISNESS CLASS PARTY GIRLS, BUSINESS CLASS always equalsBUSINESS A$$.With Favreau's "Swingers: A Screenplay and the SwingerRules," you will never, ever be SHAQED.I guarentee it.So after yougo to AMAZON.COM, and buy the book, you'll be MONEY, and YOU WILL KNOWIT!

A magnificant screenplay and movie!
I was blown away when I saw the movie. I watched it three times right afterwards and I watch it almost 3x a week. The expression is magnificant and the way they actors portray the characters is unbelievable. Right awayI fell in love w/ vince vaughn and after I read the book and I love himeven more! Fantastic!

A movie to live by.
I remember when i first heard about swingers many years ago. I didnt even know what it was about, but something made me want to see it. When i did i was blown away. I have never seen a movie like this. I was so use to thebig action packed movies and never realized there was a whole other fieldof films out there. Ever since i saw swingers i have been a huge fan. I wasalso very infactuated by the character Mikey. He has become a sort of a idle for me, or at least someone who i look up too. A while ago i saw thisscreenplay and bought it. I was even more suprised to see that Jon Favreauwas the writer. Jon Favreau was also Mikey in the film. Jon has inspired meto change who i am, and i have. I am also very interested in thefilmindustry and started writing screenplays myself, and i used the screenplayto swingers to start me out writing my own. I owe everything to Jon FavreauI used to be a adolescent punk, now i live in hollywood and have friendsthat can't be better. I am also trying to get into directing. I learnedthat maturity means your pleasure isn't worth someone elses pain. Might isay all my friends now are very mature. Thanks alot Jon if i ever get a bigmovie deal i'm looking you up. take care all. bye. ... Read more

A Good Start
Among the very best hold'em poker books for beginners.Good advice and clear examples make this a must have for those who want to learn and improve their game.Even for intermediate players it's a good refresher and ensures your fundamentals are rock solid.Easy to read and enjoyable to boot!!

Top 3 poker book
Of all the poker authorities out there, I'll put Phil Gordon in the top three, along with Brunson & Sklansky. Without being arrogant or aloof, he explains the history and techniques of the game. He explains the odds and math in very simple terms that anyone can understand and benifit from. Phil walks you through the stages of learning the game. You learn how to play on line and setting up your own home game. He then walks you through moving from low to middle limit games. "The Real Deal" will definitely step your game up a few levels. This is a great addition to anyone's poker library.

For the beginner
This page a day calendar was useful but a little light on poker strategy.It won't be something I'd suggest buying for it's information but as a page a day calendar it was fun and sometimes informative.I'd suggest a Phil Gordon page a day calendar to anyone interested in poker.

No book can teach you everything about Poker, but this is a great start.
Being a novice at poker, I bought this book expecting to find some very basic, not too complicated strategies on how to win at poker. Instead, I found a book that introduces some of the mathematical complexities of the game and in doing so, forced me to think more about the science of poker rather than the luck of poker. I have read this book many times and each time I learn more. I believe this book is excellent in that you have to read it more than once to understand it.

Phil also sent me an autographed photo, personalized. I am impressed, he is the ambassador to poker that poker needs.

Great Beginners' read
Basic concepts are well-explained and the book introduces you nicely into the world of poker ... Read more
