MADONNA: What did you do to me? GUY RITCHIE: I made you look old, really old.

Or is it how she really looks without all that make up? Makes you think...

Of all the castaway-movies this is the worst. The movie about the real survival is "Castaway" with Tom Hanks. But this one isn't about survival - they manage pretty fine, considering that they have time to argue and lie in the sun.

Or was that a new vision of "The Blue Lagoon"? In that case, it sucks! I understand the concept of a spoiled society girl being rectified (a little Shakspeare rip-off might think?) but this is insanity! A strong grown man slapping, and KICKING a small woman (cuz Madonna is petite) and she falls in love with him? There are different ways of changing people and this is not a good one. It's not even "tough love", it's being a jerk to man who takes advantage of the situation. It's men like this one abuse their wives.

And furthermore, a movie like this one was already made a long time ago: it's "Overboard" with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel and is MUCH better than this load of sand and seaweed. That one was a light comedy with no abuse whatsoever.

All I can say is: BUUU, MADONNA! Even you can do better.
