September 29, 2009Hated it. Although Alfie is meant to be unlikable, Jude Law manages to be completely hateful in this utterly pointless remake. Some of the direction has its moments but overall is completely confused as to what it wants to be and to what it wants to achieve!
Can't say I?m much ...( read more) -
July 22, 2008Good Lord! I'm going to check out the original to see if it's as bad as this piece of garbage. Jude Law continues to believe he's Michael Caine in Alfie, a film that doesn't go anywhere at all. It seems like the whole point of this film is for Alfie to go around screwing up the l...( read more)

May 1, 2008It was worth watching, but not exactly interesting for me. I liked the humor and how this film is unique, but really it had no storyline at all and apart from a few quotes it wasn't laugh-out-loud comedy.
Though I must say that Jude Law was brilliant as always.. -

September 24, 2009A really good movie that started as a perfect life for any men all around, having beautiful woman any time he wanted, no worries and money but soon it was little by little taken away, he's empty heart showed no caring and slowly the woman in his life were falling away until one d...( read more)

September 19, 2009I love this movie. It was my first Jude Law film and even though i had never seen the original starring Michael Caine, i thought Jude couldn't be any more perfect in portraying Alfie. Alfie is charming, carefree, sensitive and vulnerable all at the same time. I liked how Alfie ta...( read more)

David Edelstein, Slate
This is an ugly, blue-tinged movie that telegraphs every plot turn. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Alfie the remake, despite fine work by the cast (yes, there are people in the movie other than Law, but not so's you'd notice), doesn't really work -- it ultimately has nothing to say, and no reason t... full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
The new script raises the emotional stakes of the old scenes it retains, cuts plot elements that can't be updated and creates new story lines that are just as effective as those it replaces. full review
November 5, 2004
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The women Alfie betrays, played by Marisa Tomei, Jane Krakowski, Nia Long and Sienna Miller (Law's offscreen love and an actress of beauty and intelligence), give him so many deserved post-feminist wh... full review

The movie invites us to revel in Alfie's stylishness, and then slaps us on the wrist for reveling in it a little too much. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Law's best scenes are when he doggedly tries to keep smiling as his lifestyle grows grim and depressing. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
The movie feels creaky and anachronistic. full review

April 20, 2009Pretty funny, and Jude Law is of course always cute :) The movie is different from other comedies I think. It's unique. It has a message, the most comedies don't have something like that. I liked the humour in it, Alfie isn't a masterpiece, but it's just fun!
