February 26, 2012Having 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 foun... read more

November 30, 2011It's could be charming, but after see the original Alfie (1966), this remake is a complete trash and silly.

Summary: Jude Law reprises a role made famous by Michael Caine (who got an Oscar nod for his portrayal in the 1966 film o... read more -
January 12, 2010More 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 Mil... read more

January 7, 2010I 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.

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 -
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

December 4, 2008I 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.

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

Charles Shyer (who processed the Parent Trap and Father of the Bride updates) plays coy with most matters sexual-an odd and puritanical approach to a character who molds his entire existence around th... Full Review

The question of 'Why?' (more than 'What's it all about?) still lingers where this remake is concerned. Full Review

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

Sean Daly, Washington Post
His carefully tousled blond mop? His devilish blue eyes? His oily pickup lines and false promises coated in a cool British ahccent? Please. Full Review

Back in the mid-1960s, Alfie Elkins was one of the reasons a women's liberation movement was necessary. Today, he's just another bad date with a surplus of personal grooming products. 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

Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
It lacks the harsh, biting punch of its memorable 1966 predecessor. And perhaps there was no other way to do it. Full Review

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...

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
The supporting cast of females (and Epps) is fun to watch, and the film boasts three original songs by Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart. Full Review
