‘Swingers’ still money, baby

GO DADDY-O: In 1996, an unlikely hipster hit managed to revive swing music, introduce “money” and “baby” to the vernacular of college-aged males and launch the careers of unknowns Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn and director Doug Liman. Liman still marvels at “Swingers’” success, to which the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival pays homage with a 10-year reunion. “To make a film with a totally unknown director, cast, a $200,000 budget and have Miramax buy and release it – and more importantly, for people to remember it 10 years later – I’d say that pretty much exceeded my wildest dreams,” Liman says.
