Alfie

Alfie (2004) is Charles Shyer's romantic comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. A charming Englishman drives a limousine around New York and treats women like a rotating wardrobe: one this week, another the next, no strings attached.

Jude Law plays Alfie, and he keeps turning to the camera to walk us through his easy bachelor philosophy. His string of flings includes the volatile Dorie (Marisa Tomei), the much younger Nikki (Sienna Miller), and the older, self-assured Liz (Susan Sarandon). For a while the game runs on his terms. Then a worrying call from a doctor and a few awkward conversations force the smooth talker to ask what he actually wants from his life.

The film reworks the 1966 British classic that made Michael Caine a star, moving the story to present-day Manhattan. Its light touch, fourth-wall asides and bittersweet ending give this tale of a man finally paying his tab more weight than it first lets on. Stream Alfie (2004) online on iFILM.
