Arun O @aruno Aug 16, 2026 A really fun watch. Nothing special, but worth chucking on for a light bit of comedy and romance with friends. See more Par H @Parhwy Apr 21, 2026 Swinging with the Finkels (2011) is an 82-minute-long British romcom. Martin Freeman freed my hand to watch this instead of finishing Mope (I will finish Mope, it's just a hard watch). Co-starring Mandy Moore, I could not like this movie less (not because of her, despite). Freeman as Alvin is scripted appallingly. It is gauche that this film post-dates #metoo by 5 years; it feels like it comes from the era before. And I say this not to be moralising, I say so because the film seems to be trying to make Freeman out to be a good, nice guy. He is not. His scripting at times is embarrassing, even to me, a twice-divorced human being. The fact that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus is featured is all you need to know. And the swinging part? It’s laughed at, not with. I laughed once, and only because I can relate to teeth fetishism. Also, bogan M. George? Mate. Even London looked bland and mediocre. Rewatch? No. Recommend? No. 3/10. See more Dec 30, 2019 Quite funny actually. See more Apr 20, 2016 Some okay bits in this light hearted comedy but as a whole there's not much to recommend this See more Jul 23, 2015 Never outstanding, but certainly a watchable comedy with a few good moments before the crux of the plot begins, after that it gets a little more generic. See more Mar 31, 2015 Can't believe I sat through this, nearly gave up on it very early on. Melissa George is especially horrid in this one. Lost half a star for the scene of her with her breast pump. Character is also crude, vulgar and repellant. Mandy Moore fares a little better, but she and the husband have zero chemistry. He looks like her father in the flashbacks of them dating. And wouldn't you know it, my all time "favourite" happy ending in the movie. That one never gets old. See more Read all reviews
