Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Alfie is driving from Manhattan to visit Marlon and Lonette, he crosses the Brooklyn Bridge, which goes to Long Island, not upstate New York where they live.

Jude Law stars as the lothario Alfie in the remake of the classic swaggering film which Michael Caine received a Best Actor nomination back in 1966. However, many critic pundits questioned Jude Law starring as Alfie on the remake of the classic film. They asked such questions as: Is it unlawful for Jude to try to duplicate the mastery of Caine? Is it unlawful for Jude to appear in yet another film in 2004? (Law appeared in 6 films in 2004) and Is it unlawful to cast who People Magazine selected as the sexiest man on earth as the womanizing British cad in New York? Hey, Jude! In my opinion, you have committed no unlawful cinematic crime. Your performance as Alfie was as vigorous and suave as they come! "The talking to the audience" bit as he plans out his next female conquest or dumpation was marvel cinematic magic. The hell with Superman or Batman, "Alfie" is a true marvel comic superhero. The women of "Alfie" were the tasty dishes of Fettuccini "Alfieredo". Nia Long, Marisa Tomei, Jane Krakowski, Sienna Miller, and the ageless Susan Sarandon were quite appetizing with their performances. Director Charles Shyer did the "shyer" thing by casting Law as Alfie. Writer Bill Naughton's naughty script was "Alfieboloso"; as whimsical as they come! So get struck by Alfie! Watch it today! It is one of the most entertaining films I have ever seen! ***** Excellent
