I really love the movie. has a deeper meaning love Jude Law's acting.i guess the women are sometimes very advantageous they use you and throw you away i hope i am not mistaken,but he too had his mistakes in being loyal to a woman so he could have found out that true love in his life which would have made the story go in a different direction.Anyway this sounds good it teaches us a lesson as well on how to have a proper life style and be much disciplined.at the End Jude law is left alone beside the river which brings a bit of sadness but overall loved the movie and at the end comes a nice soundtrack "Old Habits Die Hard" really loved the song.i suggest everyone to watch it even though the movie is more than 10 years old still is good to watch if you love to watch a quality movie.

Alfie follows the life of a young bachelor, going through women as if toilet paper, tossing them aside when done. Something soon causes him to change his ways. It's sexy, humorous...adorable even. A lighthearted story with a serious tone to it at the same time. Though he is quite the charmer, Alfie is not a character many can relate to. It focuses mainly on the fact that whoever Alfie comes into contact with, he ends up pushing away in some way ultimately ending up alone. The only thing that really holds the movie up is Jude Law's charismatic charm. If not that, it would probably falter more so. It does have it's many flaws but overall, I enjoyed the film. At times, it did feel dull, depressing and unnecessarily long. A story that could have moved faster but they stretched out to fit a certain time limit. Jude's charisma reels you in and holds you...to a certain point. Eventually becoming tiresome.

Jude Law acts with all the passion of a piece of cheese and displays the on-screen charisma of some rotting fruit which is desperately clinging to the fluff at the bottom of a pedal bin.The plot is watered down just sufficiently to enable it to be fully understood by anyone with an IQ approaching anywhere near room temperature.Two hours of my life passed by watching this vacuous piffle, which could have been more productively used counting the white lines in the middle of the road or repeatedly flushing one's head down the toilet.Any person who admits to liking this film should immediately be precluded from voting and removed from civilised society.

Sir Michael Caine was perfect in the original classic comedy drama, so it was going to be interesting seeing another big English actor taking on the role, from director Charles Shyer (Father of the Bride). Basically, set in Manhattan (what's wrong with good old London, England), our leading man, talking directly to us, is cockney English limousine driver Alfie Elkins (Jude Law). He talks about wanting to own his own limousine company, and his food and drink tastes, but more than anything he talks about how he has dabbled with women. Aflie is charming and charismatic to women, knowing the right things to say, and he wants to make love to many women with no commitment or responsibilities, until he finds "the one". But as he spends time with these women, among others single mother Julie (Marisa Tomei), rich married but neglected Dorie (30 Rock's Jane Krakowski), girlfriend of his friend Marlon (Omar Epps) - Lonette (Are We There Yet's Nia Long), turbulent alcoholic Nikki (Sienna Miller) and rich older woman Liz (Susan Sarandon), he finds problems. He finds he has to take much more respo0nbility as these relationships become difficult, with such occurrences like erectile dysfunction, pregnancy, suspected testicular cancer and much more, coming to the conclusion brief encounters aren't the way to go. Also starring Tara Summers as Carol and Dick Latessa as Joe. Law is obviously better looking than he is really getting into the character, the American setting isn't really a really big deal apart from maybe some of the lifestyle and stuff, it's just a cheap way to hype it up a bit, and it just adds to its feel of not being as good as the original. It won the Golden Globe for Best Original Song for Mick Jagger and David A. Stewart's "Old Habits Die Hard". Jude Law was number 60, and Susan Sarandon number 25 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars, Law was also number 10 on The 50 Greatest British Actors. Okay!
