Query: Excellent Remake

Sad to say I haven't seen the original(it is in my pile of unwatched discs). That's a blessing because I don't have to make unfair comparisons and judge this version on it's own merits. And it is smashing. This is a film that promotes morality and fidelity despite the central character being a cad. The movie is at once pro-woman and pro-life. I wouldn't say that Alfie gets so much as a comeuppance but an education in human relationships. Credit Jude Law, one of our finest actors, for making a seemingly smarmy character sympathetic. The film also sports one of the stronger ensemble cast of actresses you'll find in any film. Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon, and Jane Krakowski are certainly good but the performances that struck me most were from Nia Long as Alfie's best friend's girl and Sienna Miller as Alfie's manic-depressive girlfriend. This film was in and out of theatres in the fall of '04 but it's definitely worth discovering now.
