I have just seen this movie on DVD and i must admit .. I kinda liked it!! I am generally not a Madonna fan and I consider her like any other pop singer with a lot of nice hits but not more. I am usually rather very hard critic but there is something nice and attractive about this movie.. I can imagine that it is not the kind of movie I would like to see in a Cinema.. It is rather a nice entertaining for a nice cosy evening.
I think that the acting was GREAT.. Madonna did her role as a snoopy upper class know it all rich woman very good.. and Adrianno Giannini in the role of Pepe did a great job as well. The music is gorgeous and if u ever have been to Greece you will understand why this music simply reflects the Mediterranean atmosphere in a fantastic descriptive manner. The plot has some weakness though and I believe it would have been much better at some points. There should have been more well I don't know exactly but I think that while it took too long to to present the first part of the story (the rich snoopy woman and the poor fisherman) the second - and interesting- part was somehow shorter.. I think it should have been more intense and dramatic.. the love scenes (if there were any) were a little bit weird.. (with clothes on!!!) and seems unoriginal . By the way.. I agree with other Imdb users that it is somehow uneasy to watch Madonna muscular body.. I don't know why but it is not rather common that women have well lined muscles.. it is kinda bizarre in a way.. but in general I liked it. It wont be everyone's favourite.. but people who like romantic will find it interesting..
