The original Alfie was as much overrated as the remake is underrated. Split the difference.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Rotten

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 the procurement and enjoyment of sex.

Jessica Winter, Village Voice
Rotten

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

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

This is an ugly, blue-tinged movie that telegraphs every plot turn.

David Edelstein, Slate
Rotten

His carefully tousled blond mop? His devilish blue eyes? His oily pickup lines and false promises coated in a cool British ahccent? Please.

Sean Daly, Washington Post
