Alfie
Jude Law reprises the title role first made famous by Michael Caine (who won an Oscar for his portrayal) and makes it his own in this stylish remake. Alfie (Law), a self-aware British cad living in New York, falls in lust too easily and can't commit to one woman, leaving a string of heartache in his wake. When one of his many lovers gets pregnant and it appears he's finally smitten with a woman for good, Alfie begins to question his existence.

I have seen the original Alfie but I was dissapointed none the less in this movie. Jude Law plays a seriel dater slash player on the prowl. The supporting actresses do a much better job than the main actor. The movie is not all its cracked up to be, but maybe worth a watch when in the moviePale comparison at best - Shana
Why do film companies insist on challenging old classics? Jude Law may be handsome, but he doesn’t have any of the edginess that made Michael Cain’s performance so superb. The pace of the movie is ludicrously slow. I’m glad that I didn’t have to pay movie theatre prices to see this dud.Alfie stole my heart.. - twin_sis
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie!
I had not seen the original Alfie - but I did add it to my Ziplist right after I watched this one!
I really thought Jude Law did an excellent job as Alfie, and I loved all the girls in the movie.
This does sound strange, but at times I did wish the movie was longer and it showed more detail of his relationships.
Alfie did steal my heart too!
