Mike (Jon Favreau) is having trouble getting over his ex. Thankfully he has a gang of wild hipster friends to take him out and help him get through it all.

Oh the 90's. It's hard to imagine that circa 1994/95 THIS is what it meant to be a hipster/scenester: suits, chain wallets and swing dancing. They even played swing music on KROQ! And while the scene has since moved on to PBR and LCD Soundsystem, this film has miraculously not dated at all thanks to its' amazingly human script. The lingo, the clothes, the bars, etc are all just window-dressing for a story about friendship. This might be the original "bro-mance". You either have friends like these guys, or at the very least, you want these guys to be your friends. Yeah they'll bust your balls, but they'll also push to get you out on that dance-floor so you can maybe meet someone special. Now THAT is so fucking money baby!
