I have now offically seen this movie.......


I like the movie, but Alfie is just one of these characters that you just want to beat the *beep* out of. Also, a real man does NOT leave to go *beep* some other "bird". A REAL man will take care of his child and NOT just walk away from that child. Anyone else AGREE?

I totally agree. The fact is that there are many men out there like Alfie unfortunately. I think those women in the movie seemed pretty naive to believe that Alfie was anything but a ladies man, except for Ruby of course who beat him at his own game. Even though Alfie was a disgusting creep, I still enjoyed the film. How about when he kept referring to women as 'it's? That was a little infuriating. And how callous and cold he was to the married woman he knocked up after she had the abortion.....he was a true a$$hole then.

You're supposed to want to slap some sense into Alfie. It's hard to disagree. The truth is there are a lot of men like Alfie out there, there are women like him too. You don't have to be a womanizer to be selfish and fear commitment. That's commitment of any kind, not just a relationship.
