Editorial Review:

Description:
In this remake of the 1966 classic, Jude Law stars as Alfie, the quintessential Don Juan who is rather caught up in himself. Using his charm and a great smile, Alfie searches for beautiful women who will give him what he wants. Once they become too attached, he breaks their heart. This ideal bachelor lifestyle ends up unraveling and Alfie must learn to admit defeat and change his ways.

Amazon.com:
Jude Law's Alfie, much like Michael Caine's Alfie in the 1966 original, is what you'd call an unrepentant womanizer. He beds 'em but never weds 'em, and New York provides ample opportunity to continue the process--until reality slaps him in the face. Because Jude Law is, well, Jude Law, you can see why he gets away with it as long as he does, and the actor also pulls off the usually awkward trick of narrating directly to the camera. Neither his Alfie, however, nor director Charles Shyer's remake emerges completely without scratches. Law has a Chesire Cat carnality, but he emanates too much intellect to buy him as the relatively dim bulb he's supposed to be. The film, meanwhile, is a bit soft around the edges; the whole thing would have more resonance if it wasn't quite so intent on watching the unrepentant repent. Regardless, it's a surprisingly thoughtful diversion, and there's fine work from Marisa Tomei, Nia Long, and Susan Sarandon as the women who understandably make Alfie reconsider his ways.--Steve Wiecking

Jude Law is always great to watch and this version of Alfie is up to date and truthful in content. I think bachelors all over the world should watch this because they just may learn something. It's not easy out there.

Rating:

- Skip it.
If you have never seen the original Alfie, you would probably like this remake a lot more. Sometimes you just don't know what you're missing.

However, I am a fan of the original Alfie, and I was most uncomfortable watching this DVD -- just resenting the fact that it's OK, but not the genuine article.

Sorry, I just didn't love it.

- You can never go home again...
This movie is a remake of a 1966 movie of the same name in which Michael Caine portrayed the leading character. This time around, Jude Law takes a crack @ playing Alfie. I've actually not seen the 1966 version so I can't comment much on that. However, the special features of the DVD compare & contrast a great many aspects of the 2004 version vs. the original. It's readily apparent that several of the characters (i.e.: Alfie's women) have been updated to the 21st century milieu.

This movie is too boring. It is painful to sit through the hold thing.I would never watch this movie again.Unless I was really bored with nothing else to do.
Jud Law isn't very good in it even when he talks into the camera.

Rating:

- surprisingly dissapointing
i am a fan of jude law and think he's very handsome. i was also excited to watch this movie (and see sienna miller who was emerging as the "it" girl when this came out). i saw the previews and on-set pics for Alfie and thought it would be good. unfortunately it was boring. it just had no spark. it was lackluster. and for some reason jude law's speech is a bit incomprehensible (guess it's his accent). the people i watched it with kept saying "what did he just say?" that makes the movie difficult to ...
