Analyze That has more bada bing than its lukewarm reception would lead you to expect. Analyze This (1999) had the advantage of a then-fresh idea--Robert De Niro as a neurotic mob boss seeking therapy with reluctant shrink Billy Crystal--but that idea's stale (and has been handled more authentically in The Sopranos), so this sequel relies on established chemistry and zesty dialogue that matches the original. There's nothing wrong with a retread when it's this funny, and De Niro's latter-day penchant for comedy suits him well when, as kingpin Paul Vitti, he lures Dr. Sobel (Crystal) into a prison breakout scheme involving faked catatonia and West Side Story show tunes. The contrived plot involves Vitti's criminal comeback. Unfortunately, there's little room for Lisa Kudrow as Sobel's sarcastic wife, but De Niro's Raging Bull costar Cathy Moriarty-Gentile is welcomed as a rival mob queen. You want a comedy masterpiece? Fuhgeddaboudit. You want 95 minutes of easy fun? It's right here... and don't miss those obligatory outtakes. --Jeff Shannon

"Analyze That" Review

I don't see the deal with everyone saying it's a bad movie. It's not bad at all, infact I almost perfer Analyze That over Analyze This. If you haven't seen this, I'd reccomend atleast renting it. It doesn't have as many 'laughing out loud' parts, but it still is a great comedy.

Analyze That

Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal return as mobster Paul Vitti and psychiatrist Dr. Sobel. In five minutes it reminds you of pretty much every running gag from the first movie, in fine fashion. Which is funnier? That's a BS question, Joel Siegel. Both are a pleasure. This film manages to trot out the tired old "gangsters want to make movies about gangsters" gimmick without boring me. I suspect I didn't appreciate Jelly enough the first time around. He's awesome.

WHEN YOU'RE A JET...

Seeing Robert DeNiro sing I FEEL PRETTY from West Side Story in a hospital gown is quite a sight indeed. ANALYZE THAT, the sequel to ANALYZE THIS, reunites DeNiro with fussbudgety Billy Crystal in a fairly entertaining, if often times slow, comedy. DeNiro fakes insanity to get out of prison and Crystal is assigned by the FBI to treat and watch over him. It's fun to watch DeNiro fail at all his "normal" jobs and when he lands a stint as the creative consultant for a tv crime series, his expertise comes in handy for his plot to dismantle rival gangs. Anthony LaPaglia in an uncredited role is hilarious as the Australian star of the series who seeks guidance from DeNiro and Cathy Moriarty-Gentile (De Niro's costar from RAGING BULL) does well in her role as one of the gang's leaders. The late Joe Viterelli is hilarious as DeNiro's sidekick, Jelly, but Lisa Kudrow is pretty bland as Crystal's wife.
DeNiro is proving himself to be a deft comic actor and Crystal does okay too; it's all lightweight and predictable but enjoyable too.
