Ritchie made a movie that never pretends to be more than a guilty pleasure of soft-core kitsch, and Madonna and Giannini (son of Giancarlo, costar of the original) achieve a lively S&M chemistry.

Schizoid romantic comedy -- The first half of the movie is full of broad but capable comedy, but the original film's sexual and class politics are clumsily handled, and the mood turns serious with all the subtlety of a falling guillotine blade.

No esta mal, es entretenida, la trama no es de lo mejor y no es de mis favoritas pero me gustó.

La verdad a mi esta película me gustó mucho. Me puso a pensar en cómo el ser humano habla piensa y actúa desde sus posiciones de poder (dado por la familia, la cantidad de dinero en el banco o el grupo social de élite al que pertenece), pero cuando esas ventajas desaparecen, queda la persona desnuda y sus únicas herramientas son su propia actitud frente a los demás.

For starters, it blows. Madonna continues to mistake a knack for striking poses with the interpretive skill of a real actor.

No less laughable is the ending, where Ritchie neatly reflects today's prevailing attitude -- that audiences can't be trusted to handle a hint of ambiguity, but can live happily with flat-out stupidity.

At no point should anyone mistake this for an actual movie. This is an extended beach video that will leave no one swept away.

The film turns out to have nothing going for it at all, except a small charge for soul-deep Madonna haters.

Even camp status eludes this tepid and misguided picture.

Guy Ritchie hace una buena película. Tuvo mala crítica, pero no me dejo llevar por eso, la película me encanta. Madonna perfecta en este papel.

I just discovered this movie and surprised by negative reviews. Although not as great as the original I enjoyed it a great deal. Madonna was excellent and why young Giannin never did much more is a mystery. Excellent, touching movie

Everyone involved in this could've done right. But sadly, almost everything's wrong. It's a total misstep from Madonna, Guy Ritchie and even the butchered fishes.

This is so bad that it ends up being good, best horror movie i've ever watched... Madonna should've at least do the thing she does the best to save that movie, work on the soundtrack.

As much as you have to love Madonna as a singer, she cannot act. She just cannot. Because of that, the movie is already ruined. You have to admire her for trying, but you can't admire the movie.
