Lack of content

I am a bit offended with the lack of content in this article. This film was a major milestone for the 1990's indie film movement.

Heather Graham

Come on, does she really 'star' in it? She appears for about ten minutes near the end!--192.149.238.37 15:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She has poster billing and opening title card credits. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 22:11, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Swingers OST.jpg

Image:Swingers OST.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

use of the phrase "that's money"

Do we have some sort of reference for the "fact" that this film popularized "the use of the word "money" as a catch-all term of approval or quality"? I've never, ever heard the word "money" used this way except when people are talking about this movie. Minaker (talk) 12:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Budget

Was the budget for the film $250,000 or $700,000? The infobox says one thing, and the article text says another. I remember from the special features on the DVD that the director says the total budget was $250,000. I am going to change the main text to read $250,000 unless anybody objects. WatchAndObserve (talk) 20:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was $250,000 while it was being filmed and then when they sold the film to Miramax, they spent more money (another $250k?) on music rights. That may be the cause of the ongoing discrepancies. In any case, by hollywood standards, practically free 70.36.142.245 (talk) 23:31, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have attempted to trim and encyclopediafy the plot summary per tag. Will now delete it. --BoogaLouie (talk) 17:00, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
