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]

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.

This movie's got an original premise, some convincing performances by its leads, especially DeNiro in an atypical role, and plenty of fresh humour sprinkled throughout its spaghettilicious body of fun.

Crystal stays focused, while DeNiro yowls and bawls without shame.

A decent comedy, but it was capable of being much more.

Classic scenes and hillarious lines make this one of the year's best movie.

In its first two acts, Harold Ramis's comedy uproariously mines its premise for all its comedic worth.
