	Alfie (2004) Movie Review - The Hollywood News
		Alfie plays a limo driver, which is an apt metaphor for his tendency to cruise in and out of the lives of women, with a mobile bedroom.
		As the initial infatuation begins to wear thin, Alfie is forced to confront his own inherent shallowness, and to face the fact that it isn’t so much that the women he beds aren’t lovely and wonderful - it’s that he is incapable of maintaining a lasting relationship because he is pathologically incapable of remaining satisfied.
		Alfie is ultimately a very lonely individual, who suffers from the inability to find someone or something to fill the void in his heart.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: ALFIE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Alfie (in his usual charming way), refers to his older, somewhat overweight neighbor as a "tub of lard" and states that her ship has sailed.
		Alfie states that what's important to him is FBB ("face, boobs, bum") and we then see close-ups of all three (the latter two shown in skimpy attire with cleavage and other bare skin).
		Alfie and Julie kiss on the sofa and she starts to run her hand down toward his clothed crotch, but he stops her, although he's on top of her between her legs.

	MovieFreak.com - "Alfie" (2004) Movie Review
		Alfie’s story is a sad one, a tale of a man so consumed with his own person he forgets to let his guard down and just let love in.
		But this freewheeling lifestyle takes a toll, unraveling in ways Alfie isn’t prepared for, and as things fall apart this chic, stylish lothario is going to have to figure out if he has what it takes to be a man and join the human race.
		What saves “Alfie” from being just good and elevates it to greatness is one of the most strikingly poignant and powerful endings to hit theater screens this year.

	TheMovieBoy Review - Alfie (2004)
		"Alfie," a remake of the 1966 film starring Michael Caine in the title role, thematically reminds of a more accessible, personalized version of the recent "I ♥ Huckabees." Although it is easier to wrap your finger around, and, thus, more audience-friendly for the mainstream faction, it is in no way simpler or condescending.
		Alfie's story is told through his varied interactions with the women in his life, each one given enough time to make an impact as a person who feels real rather than a thin screenplay creation.
		There are times as "Alfie" rounds the corner to its finish line that threaten to become routine, as Alfie makes his way around town reuniting with the women in his life and being faced with one eye-opening discovery after the next, but director Charles Shyer fortunately never quite falls into a predictable melodramatic pattern.

	Alfie (2004) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		Alfie is a Paramount Pictures release directed by Charles Shyer and was released in theaters on November 5, 2004.
		The entire film is told in first person as Alfie introduces each scene and gives the audience his thoughts on everything, and while this is very comical in the beginning by the time you get to the end of the film you wish he would just shut up.
		Alfie is a movie to avoid in theaters but check out on video, Jude Law gives a worthy performance but it just misses the mark in too many areas to be one to recommend.

	Alfie (2004) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		While Alfie's question, "What's it all about?" still hangs in the air at the end of the movie, the answer seems to lie in the love he has seen in others' lives and the love he feels like he is missing.
		A person who has always loved movies, she never ceases to be amazed with the way movies impact viewers by both reflecting and asking questions about the culture and world in which we live.
		While Alfie's question, "What's it all about?" still hangs in the air at the end of the movie, the answer seems to lie in the love he has seen in others' lives and the love he feels as though he is missing.

	"Alfie" - Salon
		The problem with "Alfie" -- both Lewis Gilbert's 1966 original and Charles Shyer's new remake -- is that its story, a squooshy redemption fable masquerading as astute character observation, asks the impossible of its lead actor.
		Buzzing from flower to flower and hopping from bed to bed, Law's bad-boy Alfie is the original "He's just not that into you" guy -- at one point he announces that he rejected a woman because she had hair on her arms.
		Alfie gets his comeuppance, as he must, and because we know it's coming, we carry a puritan sense of foreboding with us through all of "Alfie" -- it spoils our fun as well as his.

	Alfie Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Alfie is a total knockout of a movie: stylish, well-crafted and well-performed.
		Alfie is based on the 1966 movie of the same name, the film that ushered Michael Caine into stardom.
		Throughout Alfie, which is now set in the Manhattan of the Sex and the City era, Law directly addresses the camera, just as Caine did in the original.

	Alfie: A Movie Review by Jack Moore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Only in the movies could a creature like Alfie exist; in fact, the 1966 film (which is named after him) feels uncannily like Alfie's own little self-centered limbo, where everyone marvels at his many blessings and the whole world seems to shut down when tragedy befalls him.
		The original Alfie presented its careless protagonist with the reality of unplanned pregnancy and abortion, which was met with trepidation in the '60s, but gave the movie itself poignancy and resonance.
		Alfie may not be as meaningful or as intriguing as it once was, but one thing remains unchanged - the character of Alfie weathers the storm by means of a single solid performance.

		Alfie: Whenever you meet a beautiful woman, just remember somewhere there's a man who's sick of shagging her.
		Alfie was a man about town stuck in the poor end of London, sleeping his way through a never ending supply of 'birds' while fighting his working class shackles.
		Alfie belongs in the sixties, when the world (or London at least) was swinging.

	Alfie (2004) Starring: Jude Law, Omar Epps, Jane Krakowski - Three Movie Buffs Review
		The movie begins with him having a fling, in the back of one of the limousines he drives for a living, with a married woman (Jane Krakowski).
		While watching this movie in a theater in which women outnumbered men by about ten to one, it was obvious from the audience's reaction that there were few of them, despite his behavior, who would turn him down if he asked them out for a date.
		Alfie is such a bastard and having such an obviously good time, that when he starts to reconsider his lifestyle, it just doesn't ring true.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Alfie" movie review (2004) "Alfie" review, Charles Shyer, Jude Law, Sienna Miller
		The two commentary tracks on this DVD are exactly what was needed to give this "Alfie" its due: One features director Charles Shyer and editor Padraic McKinley who offer terrific insights into the film's fantastic color and style that is thoroughly modern while paying homage to the jazzy, New-Wave inspired cinema of the 1960s.
		But underneath the uncouth deliberateness of modern Alfie's many seductions, Law creates a three-dimensional character who recognizes his flaws, tries to minimize any damage he does to women's hearts and knows someday his lifestyle is going to come crashing down around him if he doesn't begin to change.
		While "Alfie" thankfully doesn't kowtow to the looming specter of a conventional happy ending, Shyer does make one conspicuous miscalculation in the form of an extraneous character whose only purpose is to deliver unforgivable clichés of unnecessary advice.

		Yet Alfie's awareness that maybe he'd be happier if he treated women less like conquests and more like companions seems so outmoded, it's tough to care if he ever sorts out his little dilemmas of love.
		Caine's Alfie was more coolly aloof and heartless than Law's Alfie, but he evoked greater empathy with his baby steps toward respect for women as people and not just playthings.
		Alfie has a weekly dalliance with a rich client (Krakowski) who's bored with her husband.

		Alfie is a charming little devil, but he's the worst kind of man - a womanizer who leaves broken hearts in his wake as he evades commitment and rushes ever onwards to more women, more cheap thrills, and ever more self-satisfaction.
		Alfie grows up during this film and his personal journey is the only theme, leaving the plot thin and unsatisfying.
		Although the character of Alfie needed to adapt to a different climate since the original film, the most entertaining parts of this version are the non-pc scenes at the beginning of the film, as he behaves terribly all over Manhattan.

	"Alfie" (2004) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		The movie itself didn’t glorify his escapades; on the contrary it showed his life to be what it really was--empty.
		Alfie goes around sleeping with any girl he sees; one of the girls is his best friend’s girlfriend.
		While the character, Alfie, was a self-centered, Casanova-wannabe jerk, he wouldn’t have had so many “victims” in the end if it weren’t for the fact the women in the movie were oh so willing to jump in the sack with him.

	USATODAY.com - 'Alfie' is easy on the eyes, but it lacks stamina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Back then, his mind-set was half in keeping with the times, but today that Alfie probably would be strung upside down as a wall decoration at a National Organization for Women party.
		Though he's highly irresponsible, this Alfie is not quite a calculating heel, which makes the material go down easier while blunting the point.
		Yet Alfie's defense comes purely on an escapist level: It has pretty people in color-drenched Manhattan when a major multiplex alternative is the horror flick Saw.

	Alfie (2004) * 1/2 Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Caine movie, no doubt inspired by the 1960s sexual laissez-faire, evolution and revolution, was a savage one in many ways, which I will not delve on.
		Alfie 2 is a chic, well-groomed fellow who drives a limousine in Manhattan and plans, with his friend Marlon (Omar Epps) to start their own limo business.
		A number of people have characterized the “Alfie 2” main character, as a “Metrosexual,” a term which I suspect is not in vogue in cities with non-metropolitan populations.

	KINNOPIO - Alfie
		The movie doesn’t have a traditional story arc, where the conflict is presented in the first act and then resolved through a series of dramatic events over the next two acts.
		Some viewers may find the idleness of the first two-thirds of the movie to be tedious, but it’s the point of the movie and the purpose of the Alfie character that it be this way.
		In that one, Michael Caine’s Alfie suffers health problems, has his child adopted by another man, is forced to have another mother get an abortion, and is rejected by the woman he finally decides he wants to settle down with.

	Alfie would put Bush to sleep
		The Alfie that launched Michael Caine's career presented him as a cad who was not really apologetic about the effects of his womanising.
		An amoral creature sleeping his way through women, single and married, leaving behind him a trail of severely damaged souls, abandoned children and a woman waiting for a backroom abortion, Alfie was a character we loved to hate.
		If the filmmakers wanted the new Alfie to learn lessons from his reckless behavior, they should have ensured the conflict in his heart convinced us about his agony.

	Alfie (2004) - Review - Moviefone
		There are strong inter-racial relationships, though a theme of the movie is the way Alfie betrays just about everyone with whom he comes in contact.
		Families who see this movie could talk about what Alfie (and the audience) learns from each of his encounters, including the old man in the bolo tie.
		The comedy in Alfie is plentiful but bittersweet, and the character's bad behavior pleases more than it repels, principally because the star Jude Law's beauty and easy charm go a long way to softening the edges.

		Alfie has a brief affair with Lonette, and the consequences of his act forces Alfie to reflect and wonder about his life style.
		The difference in their conceptions of the role is that Caine's Alfie was a far nastier character, while beneath his gamemanship and bravado, Law's is a gigolo with a heart of gold.
		I kept viewing Alfie as one who was attempting to lead a fairly crude aesthetic mode of existence (based especially upon sensual pleasure), but was finding it increasingly difficult as one thing after another created cracks in the texture of his life.
