re: Vince Vaughn's Trent in Swingers...

He is a total phony who actually seems to care about his friends, but he can't stop being a poseur. He is a likable enough guy, though, and you kind of feel sorry for him. He's the friend that you worry about OD'ing or dying in a car wreck on the way home from a party drunk. Lovable, phony, a mess, yet you want to make sure he's alright.

When you get married and get on with your life, you leave him behind because he won't quit being a mess. Yet, you had good times together. That's kind of the way the movie goes and it is pretty true to life. I had friends like him. Total disasters, yet good with the ladies and fun to be around, for awhile.
