This outrageous farce answers that question, as mob boss Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) and psychiatrist Ben Sobol (Billy Crystal) are forced to work together. When a prominent leader of the New York Mafia suddenly starts having panic attacks, he enlists the help of a New York psychiatrist for a fast cure. The two men suddenly find themselves struggling to understand each other's professional and private lives as they battle the FBI and the impending threat of a Mafia takeover, not to mention an irritable fiancée (Lisa Kudrow) eager to get married.

Reviews This is an amusing movie. Had lots of fun watching it. Good to watch both Analyze This and Analyze That. Review ID: 10000000006603132 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 02/05/08 by: Loved Analyze This so I wanted to try this. A- MAZING. I highly recommend it. Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal are amazing Review ID: 10000000005451371 Was this review helpful? Report this review As a huge fan of mob movies, in particular those that star Deniro, it was fun to see a faithful send-up of the genre with a genuinely good premise and great acting. Deniro has done some real doozies in the past decade or so, but he always shines in anything mob-like. His last quasi-comedic performance was in "Jackie Brown" but he basically mumbled through the entire event. That leaves one of his best, memorable comedic performance as "The King of Comedy", circa 1980 until "Analyze This", a close second. The supporting cast his hilarious too, Crystal, Palmentieri (also always great in Mob roles ) and the guy who plays "Jelly" - all spot on. In addition, all of the cameos (many who are familiar faces in dramatic mob movies) appear to revel in their roles. Just plain, mob-by fun! Review ID: 10000000004983517 Was this review helpful? Report this review 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed this film! Directed by the talented Harold Ramis (remember him from Second City TV?), the film stars Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro. Crystal plays psychiatrist Dr.Ben Sobel, and De Niro plays gangster Paul Vitti who demands Sobel's help to prevent panic attacks. Another reviewer mentioned the frequent use of profanity, which I personally did not find offensive, but because of the language this is definitely not a family film. The outtakes are very funny and makes you wonder how this crew was able to complete filming! I tend to watch my favorite films over and over again, and I've seen this one five times.

De Niro seems to be giving it about 50%, just playing along with his character. It is mindless and shallow work for him. Billy Crystal gives a good performance as the shrink. I didn't get the son, or the girlfriend (Lisa Kudrow) - who is a polar opposite match to Mr. Crystal. There was no chemistry between them. The props and gags were way overdone. Still there are some cute scenes and a few laughs to be had. Review ID: 10000000004704304 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
