Alfie: Women
built 658 days ago
Alfie smokes and drinks often, including an early scene where he drinks heavily with his best friend at a bar and later has drunken sex with his friend’s girl. He meets lots of his women in clubs where alcohol flows freely. One of the women he spends time with smokes pot (Alfie joins in), drinks all the time, and seems to be high on other substances. Another woman introduces Alfie to absinthe and both are shown enjoying the effects before they have sex.

In this version Alfie is still the chirpy cockney Lothario, but operating as a chauffeur in lower Manhattan rather than London. His women are characters derived from the 1966 film, but glamorised somewhat. Alfie's philosophy, delivered face to camera, as in the first film, is the same – love 'em and leave 'em.

Meeting, romancing, and seducing women comes as second nature to Alfie. In addition to maintaining a casual relationship with a single mother named Julie (Marisa Tomei) that he refers to as his "semi-permanent-quasi-sort-of-girlfriend thing", he ... sleeps with various girls on the side, such as the married-yet-neglected-by-her-husband blond named Dorie (Jane Krakowski). While his affiliation with Julie at least appears to contain some traces of commitment (Alfie's willing to indulge her, and genuinely adores her son Max), the thing with Dorie seems a purely carnal arrangement from his side (they regularly meet for sex after work in the back of his limo). At the first inkling Dorie may desire their liaison to grow into something more, he decides to stop all contact.

There are other perks to Alfie's job. Namely, he gets to meet a lot of high-class women and these are the ones that he hooks up with more often than not. First, there is Dorie (played by Jane Krakowski of Ally McBeal fame), whose husband is a successful businessman that completely ignores her. Next is Julie (Marisa Tomei), a single mother who actually seems to have her life together. Alfie really likes Julie, but doesn't realize it until after she dumps him. Then there is Lonette (Nia Long), the ex-girlfriend of Alfie's best friend Marlon (Omar Epps), whom Alfie ends up impregnating.

For all its objectionable R-rated content (and there’s plenty), the film’s overt message is that Alfie’s worldview and lifestyle choices have left him profoundly unhappy. Eventually he begins to question the wisdom of his credo never to depend on anyone or have anyone depend on him. And he admits that his view of life and women has left him alone with no peace of mind.
