Audience Member Groundbreaking but a little hard to take now. The acting is still great. And still a must see for those into the growth of moviemaking. Though I confess I cannot understand anyone finding Michael Caine (even when young) sexy, in any way. And Shelley Winters playing yet another overbearing annoying woman…there you have it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Todd C When this thing first started I thought it was another ridiculous Michael Caine RomCom with the same tone as Blame it on Rio (the worst and creepiest romcom ever). I'm not a huge fan of Caine's. He seems to play the same character all the time...especially in Romcoms. While I'm now bigger fan of Caine's, this film came around once I got past all the sexist remarks by Caine. He called women "birds" and "it" throughout. He also threatened to hit one of his women and did hit another. He got two girls pregnant in the film. He tried to pressure the first into an abortion and she didn't do it. He seemed to start caring about the child but in the end he leaves the child behind to be raised by another man. In the end...it was the point that this playboy player, would end up lonely with a lot of regrets. So, all that aside: It is amusing at times and there is a good message about partnerships and love. It is pretty whimsical for most of the film and at the end you get a touch of reality that will leave an impression if you let it. The film has aged well in my opinion. The script is good and the actors did all they could with it. I'm also not really a fan breaking the 4th wall in cinema and I still am not. That is how the whole movie is done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Peter W Overall, if you have never witnessed this comedy drama, now is the perfect time to see this cinematic classic. Michael Caine is the most significant highlight, delivering an applaud-worthy performance right from the start. The plot is unpredictable, and I was surprised at the leading character's situations at many points in the film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Leaburn O This film is very good 👍🏼 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review David M If you only ever see one Michael Caine movie, this should be the one. He's dazzling. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review david b a As an experienced fan of quality movies, I deeply enjoyed the undercurrent of ironic and dark humor that is the uniting thread of the film. I don't want to speak about the ending, in support of those who have not yet seen the movie, but it is the low-key approach throughout the movie that invites the audience to take it all in, and embrace the story so to speak. The charm and naivete of Alfie allow the viewer to never hate him, and that makes the overall impact of the film that much more powerful and human.
