Some of the girls were just NOT that sexy


The black girl. Nice, but not all that. Certainly not worth getting pregnant for.

Susan Sarandon - OK she looked good for 50. But i just didnt believe Alfie would go for her. I mean for an older man, great, but Alfie was in his early 30s. No way. No way. And with that Pablo tatoo? Urgh!!!

The Spanish looking one - Nice, attractive. But can do better. A lot better.

Jane Krakowski. Sort of believable, but again can do a lot better.

I imagined Alfie to be pulling girls that were consistently a lot better then these.

Then comes...

Sienna Miller

Now thats what i was looking for. I mean she is far too thin for me in the movie but she is incredibly attractive.

I just think the cast for the women that Alfie had were poor and not as attractive as i expected them to be so i didnt believe it as much.

I think Alfie was just looking for a good lay and someone to pamper/amuse him. Physical attractiveness doesn't necessarily guarantee a good romp in bed. All the women in the film were passable in the looks department at the very least. Did you expect to see him with fashion models all the time? That's unrealistic, given his line of work. He's in New York, surrounded by a lot of diversity so I'd imagine that his partners would reflect that in some way.

You are on the worst kind of crack if you seriously think Nia Long is not "all that".

Nia Long is gorgeous.

Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?

Are you kidding me? Nia Long ("the black girl") ugly???

reply

No way. It's all in a matter of opinion. Nia Long is a beautiful woman. And she's probably the sexiest of all of the Alfie women in this film.

See, here's the thing; the gripes that you have about the film are pretty much what makes it realistic and believable. Once you've been around a little bit, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

The point is that Alfie is a working class bloke who goes from woman to woman...older, younger, his best friend's girlfriend...he doesn't expect to score the high calibre women he drives around but when he can some...he takes it with glee.

That's the point of the movie. How he never explores deeper relationships until it's really too late.

Most models don't sleep with limo drivers. They want rock stars & pro athletes with mega bucks who can buy them expensive stuff. I guess a model would sleep with a limo driver that looks like Jude Law. Maybe a one night stand. But the truth is that most beautiful women look to score a man who will provide them security by providing loads of money no matter what the f&ck he looks like. That's why ugly old guys like Donald Trump get beautiful babes like Melania to marry them. Security. That is life as it really is...not like movies.

Susan Sarandon was 50 in this? She looked 65ish.
