Featured review
God, no... Please make it stop!
This movie was ridiculous, boring, and poorly acted. I loved some of Guy Ritchie's other films (notably Two Smoking Barrels & Snatch), but Swept Away was just bad. It came nowhere close to the original. Once they were on the island I found myself hoping in vain that there would be someone else on the island to prevent Madonna from being in every scene. Cannibals would have done nicely...
This is the first movie I have ever walked out of before the end. It was that bad. I read an article yesterday where Madonna said she was going to focus more on her family. Here's hoping she sticks to that. Biggest surprise of Swept Away: at 44 Madonna still looks pretty good in a bikini. 1/10
