I found it to be more satisfying than graffi bridge on several levels.

In GB you care very little for the protaganist, and the story never gets over the whole "After school special for drugged up hippies" feel.

But in swept away, you at least want to see the guy home train that crazy bitch.

And despite the movie being truly aweful, you can see where Guy Richie knows how to splice a film and give it a certain look. GB looked F@cked up from beginning to end.



Another fun thing about 'Swept Away'...it's a delight watching Madonna play the "rich bitch" in the first part,only to get her ass kicked in the second half lol

And like you pointed out,Guy Ritchie is at least a decent director.He knows what he's doing (most of the time).


Surely it's not THAT much fun biggrin
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

They should do a sequel where Madonna is swept away to seven corners.She meets up with Prince and slaps his ass around and takes over his club.Then,she goes over to pandemonium and whoops Morris' ass and pees standing up on his shoes.Then,as the shot shows p and morris trying to figure out what the fuck just happened,Madonna teases them by singing another remake of "tick tick bang bang".But in the end,it all turns out for the good and everyone winds up being friends.The finale (directed by Guy Ritchie) shows everyone singing "still would stand all time" and prince mis-sings "still will stand all time".Madonna stops the music and shoots p a look that would stop blood from flowing.She says "fool,it's "would" not "will"!!!" And then drags p by his hair screaming and wining into a pen ,kicks him in the ass, and slams the door shut.He quickly realizes there are 2 very hungry razorbacks in there with him.All of a sudden it becomes very apparent that Prince was a woman all this time as Madonna and band sing a rousing electronic/rock version of "if i was your girlfriend".The final shot is madonna saying,"I guess there really is joy in repetition coz he sang that song an awful lot.The little bitch really was someone's girlfriend."


I should erase what I wrote because ..well.because...I'm very tired.Sorry.I'm too tired to delete.


Come on now, the way Prince slapped around Apollonia in Purple Rain, there's no way he would allow Madonna to manhandle him like this.

OMG I loved that.
I always try to picture David Letterman doing that to her.

graffit bridge is much, much worse than swept away. graffiti bridge is awful! if it weren't for the music it would have been a complete waste of time. swept away was funny and campy. i actually liked it much more than i thought i would. i waited until video for it because everyone said it was so bad. when i watched it i was surprised that i liked it.



I totally agree.'Swept Away' is bad,but it's not nearly as bad as I expected (based on the brutal reviews).As far as Madonna movies go,it's not even her worst film.Compared to some of her other movies like 'Desperately Seeking Susan'(yeah,I know it was a hit,but I hate it regardless,lol) and 'Shangai Surprise',it's pretty decent....campy and silly with some truly funny scenes.



disbelief crackhead!

Yea but as AWFUL as GB is I still get to look @ Princey, sometimes in tight clothes horny If I never lay eyes on Madonna again it'll really be awesome woot!

falloff I've never seen Swept Away and I don't know if I want to but GB was a hot piece of mess. My God that was so horrible.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Another stupid topic from a pathetic little attention whore. Who gives a damn what people think about either one? For fuck's sake.
