    Again, like the original, I haven't decided whether I like the movie or not. I do think this version was a bit better though. The thing that gets me is that the plot/storyline is actually really good, but the way both crews brought the story to life kinda sucked. Interesting t...( read more)o say the least...

    I was a little apprehensive of watching this DVD, obviously if the press and critics were to be believed it would be the worst film i'd ever see.

    That title goes to 'From Hell', the worst east end accents i've ever heard, a film I could only watch for ten minutes.

    I was expecti...( read more)ng the worst and was pleasantly surprised with Swept Away. The actors are very good and very believable, the movie obviously totally different to anything Guy Ritchie has done before, but it was fascinating how he handled the change from gangster violence to the violence portrayed in this movie. At the same time it was interesting to see the relationship between the two leads devolop. As others have commented the ending was very emotional, and it would have been better if more time was given to the characters to explore their relationship.

    But after watching the movie from beginning to end I found no moments that made me uncomfortable or even boring, I would highly recommend this movie.

    If you don't want to take my word for it, watch it and judge for yourself...

    What's different about this film from other god-awful Madonna movies is that she took director/husband Guy Rictie (Snatch and Lock Stock)down with her

    One of the worst films of the century!

    Guy & Madge give it their all, but the comedy's too broad, love story too predictable & love-via-rape is, uh, kinda repellent.

    I like this movie though I want to change the ending. It was very sad... After I finished watching this, I felt really depressed...

    Just a strand above terrible. Something about the movie kept me watching but the acting was weak and the story was not too thrilling.

    A bad remake.. madonna wanted it on a whim and has been a Guy Ritchie real flop...

    pues muchos dicen que es una mierda que el señor Ritchie se pifio pero a mi me gusto que lugares mas paradisíacos y la historia es entretenida además es Madonna!!!!

    Madonna playing brat.. who cares? she plays the character of an insensitive rich gurl.. but in the end she learned to value the feelings and presence of other people, but doesn't have the courage to fight for true love...sad.
