Due to financial difficulties, two couples decide to live together for a while.

But not everything can be shared, their relationships will never be the same again. Forced to live together, they must resolve their differences and face the consequences of their actions.
Film Threat by Merle Bertrand
There's just something maddeningly upbeat about this film's shameless hokiness. Combine that with the film's colorful art and wardrobe designs, spiffy choreography, the joy of seeing some veteran faces on screen for the first time in a while, and a soundtrack that'll make even the dead tap their toes, and Swing simply makes for some serious jump-jivin' fun.
San Francisco Chronicle by Ruthe Stein
Well-intentioned but frequently inert.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Swing does have the advantage of boasting a fair amount of genuine onscreen talent.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Crust
All surface shine with little substance.
The New York Times by Dave Kehr
A sweet, sincere labor of love that just isn't very good.
L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
If there's any reason to watch this otherwise inept romance, it's to witness the late Nell Carter nail a Louis Jordan tune, and to see master comic Jonathan Winters downplay his more manic tendencies and effortlessly spin gold from straw.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
As much as I love swing, all I got out of Martin Guigui's murky, incomprehensible grade B romantic fantasy was a few twitches of nostalgia for the music.
Village Voice by Joshua Land
Repeatedly assuring us that its titular subject is really "a metaphor for life," Swing attempts unsuccessfully to liven up a tired scenario with a touch of Twilight Zone fantasy.
New York Post by Lou Lumenick
Wastes some veteran performers in a slight, silly musical fantasy with two left feet.
