Swept Away (2002 film)

Rare card · No. 55221

Swept Away is a 2002 adventure romantic comedy film written and directed by Guy Ritchie; it is a remake of Lina Wertmüller's 1974 Italian film of the same name. The film stars Ritchie's then-wife Madonna and Adriano Giannini (the son of Giancarlo Giannini, the original film's lead) with a supporting cast featuring Bruce Greenwood, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Elizabeth Banks. The film was produced by Matthew Vaughn and released theatrically by Screen Gems. The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, who criticized Madonna's performance and Ritchie's direction. It was also a commercial failure, grossing $1 million on a $10 million budget. Additionally, the film is considered by critics to be inferior to the original, and has since been regarded as one of the worst films ever made.
