Swept Away is a good movie

I am watching it right now for the third time and I think it's one of Madonna's better acting jobs. I don't understnad why it got panned...b/c Guy wanted to use his wife?!! Insanity.

No, it's not a good movie. It's a terrible one, and an awful remake. On the other hand, Swept Away by Diana Ross is a good track with a cheesy video to accompany it. thumbs up!

But yeah,'Swept Away' is really a lousy movie.But not necessarily because of Madonna's performance.It's simply a stupid storyline with a boring,predictable plot.The sad thing is,Guy Ritchie is actually a great director.I'm not sure why he and his wife chose this particular project.Both of them have done better in the past.

I didnt' think it was sooo bad either.. The end was sad a bit.. But .. i can admit, Madonna was far from great.. but she wasnt' as bad as they portrayed.. it was the whole movie storyline just sucked.. I loved it when she kept calling him Pee Pee... evillol

i liked this movie. it got bad reviews before it was even out which should tell you that there was a bias. i'm not suggesting madonna is a terribly talented actress because, well, we've all seen body of evidence, the next best thing, shanghai surprise, dangerous game, and who's that girl.

a league of their own, desperately seeking susan, dick tracy, evita, and swept away are all enjoyable movies with decent performances. not too mention her cameos in 4 rooms and girl 6 were classic! perhaps she's at her best when she doesn't have huge roles since she was also pretty good in bloodhounds of broadway and woody allen's shadows and fog. was she also in blue in the face or smoke? i thought she was in one of them...and if i'm thinking of the right movie, she wasn't bad in that one either.

anyway, i digress...

swept away was a fun movie that got bashed far more than it deserved.

I saw her in that play 'Up For Grabs', in the West-End a couple of years ago.

She wasn't terrible but you knew it was Madonna all the time.

There was one line, where she had to say: "I'm not that materialistic". Well, she turned to the audience and gave this knowing glance at us all. The audience burst out laughing. It's like she realised that we were there to see Madonna - not to see Madonna act - and had given up any pretense of performance.

I felt sorry for the other actors - they were basically just walking props.

It was pretty fab though! She was in spitting distance. LOL

"Swept Away" is a crap film, directed by a one idea director and starring a one note actress.

I think this is a very bad movie and I dig "lock Stock" and "snatch" alot!!I like how he captured the look of an Italian film.He did good job with that,but the rest is really bad.
