I popped this dvd in without expecting it to be good or bad; knowing not to completely believe the critics' reviews on the film. Immediately, I loved Ritchie's dark humor that we have already seen in Snatch and his other films. This film makes fun of "high society", but also pokes humor on itself. The actors I thought did a good job with their performances (there are other actors who get away with less acting abilities!). This movie isn't only about its love story, but brings up many other ideas that we are all currently living with. The movie kept me laughing all the way through to the twist. I really reccomend you to watch the movie and just enjoy it.

This book had a great storyline to it, but at some points, I could tell it was a book based on a movie and not pre-written. The love story was fabulous and the ending not so great.

I have never disliked a book as much as I did this one. This book was choppy, random, and too much like a movie! It left no room for imagination and I probably could have fallen asleep at many parts. There was nothing about this book that made you excited to pick it up again! Do not waste your time! I would say see the movie, but it wasn't much better!

Okay, lets face facts...
Madonna is a much better musician than an actress, but credit is due for perseverence.
"Swept Away" is another great film by Guy Ritchie...edgy and too the point. Madonna isnt all too bad either.
The first half of the film she is a little over the top with her bold bitchiness...but the later part of the film she softens and her character becomes believable.
The ending was a total surprise and a very un-Hollywood romantic ending.
You may not have seen it at the theatre, but its worth seeing on DVD/video.
Plus Madonna looks great!
