NOw, I know what you are thinking...

"This movie sucks!"

Why do we think that?

1. Madonna is in it
2. Guy Ritchie is director
3. Horrible reviews

But you know what, I liked it. Madonna actually did a good job at this. I was expecting to hate it when I rented it but being the Madonna completionist that I am, I had to watch it.

It was good.

Not great, mind you. But it did what a movie is SUPPOSED to do, it entertained me. I didn't once feel like getting up and going outside to smoke (quite a feat, as many of these types of movies leave me bored crapless)..

The ending was actually surprising, and not the predictable tripe we usually get.

My one gripe was the male lead, I didn't care for him. The acting was good enough I suppose, and he looked okay in those shirtless island scenes, but something was missing.

If you go in expecting to be entertained and that's all, this is a good movie. If you are looking for thought-provoking, go elsewhere (I suggest DOnnie Darko, myself).

The original Italian version (the guy in the remake is the original guy's son) is a great movie --- well acted, and very sexy. When you have a sexy Italian woman rolling on the sand by the fire asking to be sodomized, well there's no need for a remake is there?? [Wink]

LOL Drake. I've never had a sexy Italian woman ask me to sodomize them...
