It all ends in a hail of bullets and profanities -- but the laughs keep coming. Full Review |

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

Sometimes very funny, but wears its sudden tone swings and flurries of profanities like a pair of cement shoes... Full Review |

4/5 |
It's a one-joke movie, but it's an awfully good joke, told here by experts. Full Review |

Not since Midnight Run has Mr. De Niro been afforded such a perfect opportunity to flex his comedic muscles. Full Review |

[De Niro and Crystal] would seem to be perfectly cast as this oddest of odd couples, but something has gone wrong with the comic chemistry. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
Unfortunately for every gag that DeNiro and Crystal pull off -- and they do have an effective comedic chemistry -- the script strands them in eddies of frivolity. Full Review |

|
|
What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live. Full Review |

Robert De Niro gets the best out of his performance as the psychologically- challenged gangster. Full Review |

|
|
What we learn -- yet again -- is that potentially terrific comedies are often whacked by filmmakers who feel the need to spread a little therapy themselves. Full Review |

2/4 |
In Midnight Run (1988), De Niro and Charles Grodin made a wonderful team, but the pair in Analyze This doesn't seem to click in the same way. Full Review |

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

Nothing new, especially for its stars, but it's good fun nonetheless. Full Review |

You don't go into Analyze This expecting to be surprised; you go into it hoping to be amused. Using that yardstick, the film is a terrific success. Full Review |
