Runtime: 1 hr 48 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Mob boss Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) is having heart attacks. At least that's what he thinks. When his doctors inform him that he is suffering from anxiety attacks, he is forced to track down a... Mob boss Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) is having heart attacks. At least that's what he thinks. 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]

Flaws aside, in the end Analyze This comes across with the goods -- crooked guys and straight-up laughs.

It makes for an interesting balance of laughs and shoot-outs, but what really makes it fly is the perfect casting of Robert De Niro, the quintessential big screen gangster.

Although this comedy has been getting more praise than it deserves, it is nevertheless a solid, funny comedy.

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.

Analyze This could have been a terrifically horrible movie. It also could have been really really funny. It was definitely neither.

It's a treat to watch Robert De Niro -- the goodfella supreme -- tweak every gangster role he's ever played.

There are a few scenes that feel like something right out of a Scorsese film, which underlies the thin line between the drama and the comedy of the gangster lifestyle.

The first reel of this movie has some of the best comic timing and the sharpest comedy dialogue I have seen and heard in a long time.

Analyze This makes the mistake of anchoring its whole story on an amusing but thin premise.
