  Having seen both the original Alfie from 1966 and the remake from 2004, I think I have a pretty clear view of things instead of wondering what's it all about? First of all, Jude Law is terrific in the movie and gives a fantastic performance, despite the detractors. Second, I found the film incredibly personal and very moving at times, just like I did with the original. Third, the film's style was very engaging and kept things interesting visually, as well as moved the story along at a brisk pace. The problem that I have with it, and the same goes for the original, is that Alfie really is the star of the show and the supporting actors really don't have that much to do. The only person who really gets to shine is Sienna Miller, and even then it's very brief. Don't get me wrong though. This isn't something I'd watch over and over again. It's not an enjoyable sort of movie as much as it is a bit of a character study, one who's character you don't like all that much for the duration of the film (I kind of like that). I also think the comedy bits could be improved as there doesn't seem to be much there to play with. It's more of a character drama than anything, but it also tries to be a light-hearted comedy at times, and the two seem to clash at times aesthetically. I still enjoyed the movie and was magnetized by Jude Law's performance. I can't compare it to the original, because the remake is so much more modernized and stylistic in comparison, but for what it is it's worth a look or two.

  It's could be charming, but after see the original Alfie (1966), this remake is a complete trash and silly.

  Cast: Jude Law, Marisa Tomei, Omar Epps, Nia Long, Jane Krakowski, Sienna Miller, Susan Sarandon, Graydon Carter, Renée Taylor Director: Charles Shyer Summary: Jude Law reprises a role made famous by Michael Caine (who got an Oscar nod for his portrayal in the 1966 film of the same name) in Charles Shyer's stylish remake, which takes a decidedly different tone than the original. Self-aware British cad Alfie (Law) falls in lust too easily and can't commit to one woman in all of Manhattan. But when one of his lovers gets pregnant, Alfie begins to question his existence. My Thoughts: "I thought it was going to be your normal player film with a conceited gentleman looking for one booty call after another. But surprisingly it had more depth then that. The story was interesting, watching this 'player' being taught a very good lesson. I liked Jude Law in this role. Great cameo's from talented actresses in this as well. As a woman you want to dislike him, but even as a veiwer, his charm wins you over. In the end you feel a bit sorry for the guy. It's a well acted film, give it a look if you haven't."

  More of a light hearted drama than comedy most of the time. I've not seen the original version but assume this is sexed up a little. Quite a strange format, almost monologue the whole way through Alfie talking to the viewer, something different. It has a great cast and Sienna Miller looks beautiful! A well made film funny in places, worth a watch.

• Conner R

  
  I actually think this is a great movie for what it is. It's not corny or predictable at all, in fact it was pretty surprising. Jude Law was amazing and really carried the movie. It's not just your average romantic comedy, it's actually pretty dramatic at times.

  Hated 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… More

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 of a fan of Charles Shyer (or Jude Law now for that matter)

  A 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 day everything he once had was all taken take away, all the woman, friends and lovers. He could have had an girl he wanted and beautiful too but he let it all go away for been such a cocky player. This was my second time watching it and seemed like the first because i catch on some new things i once missed the first time. Alfie is quite the ladies man and rarely gets rejected when it comes to the opposite sex. He successfully has relations with multiple women without a hint of emotional attachment. A major (lifelong) problem arises when he sleeps with the wrong woman, namely his best friend's (and future business partner) ex-girlfriend. As a result, his life slowly comes into focus and he begins to appreciate the little things he always missed in the opposite sex. A must see for all guys who call themselves "players".

  I loved this so much. Jude Law is amazing as Alfie and although he was a complete p***k in the beginning I grew attached to him and felt for him when he might have been ill. The acting is realistic and believable. Amazing remake- even better than the original.

  Good 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… More
  Good 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 lives of the women he encounters. If you want this kind of entertainment the networks have daytime soaps to fill in for this crap. The entire film is anti climatic and even hardcore chick flick fans will be puzzled by the way this film just ends with no real ending. I guess I should just be happy that it was over. I hear that Jude Law is going to remake Jaws: The Revenge next.

  Brilliant acting by Jude Law. Sharp and whitty dialogue

  This story of the starting loneliness of a womanizer begins somewhat pretentious. Alfie talks right into the camera and to the audience, the first few minutes feel like a commercial. But this actually turns out to be one of the assets of the movie later on, when we always get Alfie's honest and unfiltered thoughts. How he slowly comes to realize that a real relationship would be worth more than one night stands and affairs is actually really amusing to watch. The greatest scenes are the emotional, serious ones, though. Without preaching the movie makes its point by denying a happy ending and giving the audience the chance to draw their own conclusions. Well done.

  I really like the cast and thought it was a good complicated self discovery flick.

  I vagely remember the original, Jude Law was a great choice for the remake. It held me from start to finish. This film is proof of what goes around comes around

  Jude is hot, but prefer the original.

  It was okay.

  Pretty good film to stare at Jude Law for 1hr and 30mins

  In many ways, this is just a dumbed-down, over-stylized remake of a great film. However, it also stars Jude Law in one of his finest performances yet and that is reason enough to give it a look. Although it loses a lot of the texture and economy of the original film, this one still manages to provide us with a compelling protagonist. A lot of the choices made by Charles Shyer are inconsistent and aggravating, but none of them are intrusive enough to destroy the movie altogether. I find this story powerful even though the treatment is less-than-inspiring, and Jude Law's brilliant performance and charisma kept me engaged.

  Jude Law plays Alfie, a Brit womanizer who takes the job of a chauffeur in New York City. Alfie flirts his way in and out of women's lives, uses them as toys and seducing them without the word of commitment. He manages to be obnoxious yet endearing at the same time. His life isn't as perfect as it looks and he doesn't have all the answers, but he seems to be growing up as he learns some tough lessons. He pays for his mistakes as he goes through a life changing experience and became a better, if single, man in the end. For the single women this gives you an insight on how men at the top of the physical perfection chain think. Girls, think twice before forcing your guys to watch it. The support cast of Susan Sarandon, Marisa Tomei, Sienna Miller, Jane Krakowski, Omar Epps & Nia Long do a good job also. All in all, I found Alfie to be a breath of fresh air, and a good balance of light-hearted fun and more serious, thought-provoking issues not to be taken lightly.
