Awful, yet awfully fascinating. Writer-director Guy Ritchie (Snatch) leads his wife Madonna through a remake of the 1975 Italian comedy, which followed a society woman stranded on an island with a working-class sailor who slaps her into submission. In place of the original’s cruelty, Ritchie adds a sweeping sense of romanticism and bizarre moments in which he seems to be making fun of his better half (check out Madonna’s atrocious a cappella song-and-dance number). It all makes for a captivating train wreck, not to mention a loaded Ritchie home movie.
