There are probably print ads of movie reviews, portraying 'Swingers' as a film about a bunch of suave, good-looking guys making the moves on "beautiful babies" (AKA women) in the night life of a what seems to be a fantasy land.

James said that "This is something where everyday people can relate. For instance, one night you are out with your friends you get a phone number and you just cannot wait to call." However, "If you chose to take that initiative too fast then you, as the movie quotes, 'scare off a beautiful baby who wants to party.
