Analyze This

Pros: DeNiro and Crystal are hilarious, fine, funny script
Cons: Excessive violence for a comedy, Kudrow's talent is wasted

This hilarious look at mob life came right on the heals of HBO’s fantastic hit The Sopranos, but the differences are like night and day. Well…maybe more like night and dusk. While The Sopranos is funny, it doesn’t strive to be a comedy, but rather...

Pros: Funny characters and humorous dialogue.
Cons: The premise isn't as novel as the producers think it is.

Imagine yourself in the following scenario: You're a family shrink who's just picked up a new client who really needs your help. Unfortunately, the family your patient belongs to is not the kind you had in mind when you put that word on your resume. So...

Pros: A few good scenes, Especially Crystal's Day dreaming scene
Cons: Under developed characters, feeble attempts at humor

Analyze This, we all saw the previews and the commercials where De Niro shoots up a pillow while Billy Crystal looks on. This would have been a funny scene, had it not been ruined for us by being shown all the time!

In short, this film is...

Pros: mafia man
Cons: bad language

When I watched "Analyze This," I not only found myself laughing hard and often, but also admiring the film for its ability to perform a precarious tightrope walk, hovering just above being another spoof. Had it plunged headlong into pure...

Pros: Mobster goes to psychologist for therapy, funny, surprise ending
Cons: Language language! Repetitive dialogue. Lisa Kudrow as the fiance

What would you do if a mob king came in for psychological therapy sessions? Do the therapy and hope that he doesn't kill you on his way out? This comedy explores that situation to the max with well known actors Robert DeNiro (mobster in therapy), Billy ...

Pros: Funny comedy, good story
Cons: Too much bad language, some slow moments

Analyze This is a very funny movie. You might expect that with Billy Crystal and Harold Ramis (director) involved. I don’t think of comedy when I think of Robert De Niro, but I do expect strong acting. The three of them are bound to make a ...

Pros: Billy Crystal isn't half as annoying as usual.
Cons: It's a mob movie..

Have you ever wanted Hollywood to release a movie about the head of a crime family who is falling apart at "work" and needs to see a shrink to help him regain his emotions, thus his tough guy status? Me neither.. but it just so happens that they...

Pros: De Niro and Crystal and the balance of comedy and drama.
Cons: Lisa Kudrow's boring performance and De Niro's crying.

Analyze This is the perfect spoof on the crime genre. Other than the fact that it is refreshing and entertaining, it is also surprisingly hilarious. When the film is about a top New York gangster going to a psychiatrist to get in touch with his feelings, ...

Pros: Very funny, great performances and chemistry with Crystal and De Niro.
Cons: Walks a very fine line between comedy and total zaniness.

Originality is something today's entertainment industry seems to be running short on, so the new thinking seems to be "How many ideas can be recycled without going overboard?" I think it's fair to say "Analyze This" is an example of that thinking since ...

Pros: De Niro's shtick
Cons: Dull stereotypes

Freud meets Don Corleone and goombahs get in touch with their inner selves in "Analyze This," a sporadically funny comedy directed by Harold Ramis (who hasn’t had helmed a decent film since 1993’s "Groundhog Day"). While his latest...

Pros: Hilarious interplay between De Niro and Crystal; great script
Cons: Slightly weak ending

Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) has a problem: although he's one of the world's most feared gangsters, he's lost his passion for his work. Things aren't as simple as they once were ("We gotta change with the times," states an advisor. "What, are we...

Pros: Fine turns by both leads
Cons: Badly structured screenplay

Robert DeNiro is not a comedian. He used this to his advantage in what is arguably his best performance, as The King of Comedy's Rupert Pupkin. In Scorsese's 1982 media-age satire, which becomes more relevant with each passing year, Pupkin is a...

Pros: Short movie
Cons: Story line

DeNiro and Crystal - should be a good gig - but felt sadly disappointed. Was slightly in that slap stick kind of humor that I do not like (ie; Airplane, Stripes, etc). I thought DeNiro's acting was very poor in this vehicle but he did kind of look like a...

Pros: You will smile from beginning to end
Cons: none

I really liked this film. I've discovered that whenever Billy Crystal does a movie, either in it or directing, I'm going to enjoy myself. He has such a wonderful way of making you FEEL whatever emotion he is putting out there.

This is a...

Pros: I can return this movie to BlockBuster tomorrow
Cons: profanity, crummy script, lousy casting

I saw this movie because everyone I know said this was a funny movie. As usual, I disagree with most of my friends. I thought Analyze this was over-hyped, over-rated, and overly-vulgar.

I'm wondering if there is a single line in the movie...
