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]

Slow, uneven and only intermittently humorous.

Director Harold Ramis keeps the gangsters real and funny at the same time.

Billy Crystal could turn "Othello" into an insipid, feel-good movie.

The movie never rises above trite and obvious gags: bodies in car trunks, lunkhead henchmen, idiot feds with their wires crossed.

...a movie so sluggish and corny, not even a script written by Shakespeare could have saved it.

After a very funny first half-hour into Analyze This, it becomes painfully apparent that it's really just a skit masquerading as a feature film.

Crystal is good, and De Niro is even better.

Analyze This is slow, unfunny, and badly acted.

De Niro has a good eye for parody and is the best thing about the film.

Talent can certainly help any film out, but when the written material isn't up to their level, what we are virtually left with is a vacuum of thin air.
