| A. O. Scott in the New York Times of October 11, 2002, describes Madonna's "English-language remake of 'Swept Away . . . by an Unusual Destiny in the Blue Sea of August,' Lina Wertmüller's tart, schematic 1974 comedy about class struggle and sexual combat on a deserted Mediterranean island" as "a soggy and superfluous motion picture that washes ashore nationwide today." |
| "It's dull, dumb and unintentionally funny," wrote John Black in the Boston Metro of October 11-13, 2002. |
| "she does good in this film, contrary to what all the critics have written. the audience that i saw it with laughed every time madoodoo got the shit slapped out of her. she plays a super rich bitch who you love to hate, and she plays it to the hilt."--rupaul.com/weblog.shtml. |
