Surprisingly good, 30 May 2004
Author: jlon from Dublin

The DVD format tends to overlight movies. But for Mediterranean-set movies this is an improvement. DVD review.

A mismatched couple end up on a deserted island and fall in love.

I expected that Swept Away would be rubbish. Starring Madonna, directed by Ritchie and is a remake of a '70s movie. However it's actually well made, funny, great looking, contains good dialogue and has a moving ending. Only the silly singing sequence ruins it. Old fashioned movie aimed at older viewers. Reminds me of those Bo Derek/Brook Shields movies from the '80s.

Swept Away is well worth watching.
