Trivia:
The US opening of the movie was so poor, and the movie was so badly received that it went straight to video in the UK, director Guy Ritchie's home country.

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.
