When his doctors inform him that he is suffering from anxiety attacks, he is forced to track down a shrink to help him get to the bottom of the problem. Billy Crystal costars as neurotic psychiatrist Ben Sobol, who is manipulated into treating the macho Mafia man, with hysterical results. Just as Ben and eager fiancée (Lisa Kudrow) are about to enter nuptial bliss, they are suddenly faced with a 24-hour responsibility to a mobster who won't take no for an answer. The hilarious hijinks ruin their first wedding and threaten to ruin the relationship as Paul battles his personal demons with the help of the initially unwilling shrink. As the two men's professional and private worlds collide, they are forced to realize their similarities as they join forces to battle the FBI and the impending threat of a Mafia takeover. Director Harold Ramis has crafter an intelligent, witty comedy that shows off the comic instincts of De Niro as never before. [More]

The comedy is heavy and the use of the stars lazy and cliched...

A witty, upbeat comedy that is more concerned with making its audience laugh than any other of its cinematic virtues (or lack thereof).

Manages to generate plenty of laughs around the fears and the foibles of these two men who still haven't gotten their acts together midway through their lives.

Even though it's only March, Analyze This is going to be the comedy to beat this year - nothing else so far has come close.

The masterful Billy Crystal shows his mettle as a stand-up comic able to conform to romantic and other situations with his stock of surprises.
