...and therein lies much of the problem. No tension, no underlying anger in this Alfie, which was what gave the original film much of its bite.

Times have changed far too much since the original. 1966 really was another world.

As much as I love Jude Law (and he does very well with a weak script), I found it very hard to work up much emotion for the vapid NYC singles in Alfie II.

There isn't much reason to see it, unless, like me, you want to drool over the lovely Mr. Law.
