Swept Away

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.

It was also a commercial failure, grossing $1 million on a $10 million budget. The film is considered by critics to be inferior to the original, and has since been regarded as one of the worst movie
