Alfie soon gets another unpleasant piece of news, this time from Lonette: she is pregnant with his child. Without telling Marlon, the two of them visit a clinic where she has an abortion. Soon afterwards, Marlon and Lonette unexpectedly move upstate without even saying goodbye to Alfie.

Rather than offer an interesting personality study, Alfie prefers to provide little more than a standard chick flick. It takes a lively and intriguing character and turns him into a wuss, all in the interest of “growth”. Bah - the movie just panders to a certain segment of the audience with its dull exposition.

Shocked and dismayed by one blow after another, Alfie even looks up Dorie, his one-time regular booty call. They meet by the docks late one night, but at this point he is more interested in a shoulder to lean on than sex. She... informs him she's moved on, and, though cordial and polite, generally lets him know she wants no part of him anymore.

Alfie appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. The flick usually looked pretty good, but it showed a few more problems than I’d expect from a modern movie.

The film looks great admittedly, and muted it might prove to be an attractive advert for one of the many designer labels spoken about by Alfie and his cohorts. Yet as an entertaining, funny or appealing movie it falls flat on its face.
