If you saw the Michael Caine version of Alfie, then you will be disappointed in this flick; if you have never seen the original then you might enjoy this Alfie wannabe. Jude Law turns in a very touching performance. He pretty much saves the movie. The score by Mick Jagger is okay - not the great hit song "What's It All About Alfie" which was sung originally by Cher.
The story follows the original, but there are some changes - which spoils the whole storyline - for me anyway. For instance, instead of London, Alfie resides in New York. Just does not work as well.
Like I say, if you are expecting the brilliant Michael Caine version then go rent it. This Alfie is not quite up to the mark.
