Summary: Funny, Witty and Wise
Review: Billy Crystal returns to form with the help of De Niro, in possibly his greatest comedic role as a Mafioso needing psychological intervention. The script is fast and furious, a laugh riot of memorable lines and deliveries that come atcha like repeated pitches of a baseball. The scene where Crystal represents his client before all the Mafia leaders is a comedy classic, one that is hilarious and poignant at once, but only because Crystal plays his character in such an inspired way. Truly a valentine of comedy, this is a keeper!

Summary: Crystal And Deniro ... An Offer You Can't Resist!
Review: A complete surprise, ANALYZE THIS hits you from the get go with remarkably funny characters juxtaposed against the grim reality of mob life ... to an extent. Crystal plays a shrink who inadvertantly gets the task of analyzing Deniro, and the results that ensue are hilarious. Several nice cameos add to the pleasure of watching this comedy again and again. HINT: A sequel, ANALYZE THAT, is presently in the works, with all of the principles set to return in top form. A word to the wise: Robert De Niro's portion of the commentary track sounds almost phoned in or else he participated with very little interest. While he does have a few tidbits to add, much of the substance comes from Billy Crystal. Also, the commentary track with Harold Ramis is absolutely suburb and serves as a fine example of how directors should place their thoughts and choices into perspective for the true cinema fan.

Summary: De Niro's hidden forte: comedy!
Review: Before this movie, who'da thunk that you could use the words "hilarious" and "Robert De Niro" in the same sentence? Not I. Now that he's done "Meet The Parents", it's clear that his flair for comedy was more than just a fluke in "Analyze This"...but I digress. De Niro was exactly the right combination of understated and comedic-tough for the role of Paul Vitti, the mob boss who suddenly finds it difficult to carry out his job. Vitti is one of the few people alive who, when he gets to the hospital emergency room, would have preferred to hear that he's had a heart attack rather than a panic attack. A fine line is drawn between comedy and violence in this movie. So when the curtains are drawn in the little area off the emergency ward so that the doctor could be beaten up (off camera) for having the gall to insist that Vitti had a panic attack, it's funny rather than appalling. Billy Crystal is the only actor (with the possible exception of Bill Murray) who could carry off the role of psychiatrist Ben Sobel, who makes his living trying to solve the problems of others but who has quite a few of his own, thank you. He's jealous of his famous psychiatrist-writer father. His overweight son spys on sessions through a hole in the ceiling. He's been through a tough divorce. And his attempted weddings to news anchor Laura (Lisa Kudrow) keeps getting interupted by Paul Vitti's problems. Lisa Kudrow is wonderful and my only complaint with this movie is that she should have been given more to do. In the DVD version, Harold Ramis does admit in his commentaries that the mostly-male writing team couldn't think of enough to make the most of Lisa's considerable talents. Chazz Palmenteri is indescribably delicious as the rival boss who wants Paul Vitti dead. And the young actor cast as Billy Crystal's son has an easygoing, vivacious talent and has a great career ahead of him. Possibly as the next Billy Crystal! This movie was perfectly cast and is absolutely hilarious. Forget renting it. It's worth OWNING. On DVD, so you can have all the extras. This is currently my favorite Robert De Niro film (based on his acting abilities, anyway. "Cape Fear" is the only one that I loved based on my hormones alone, stirred by the darkly sexy long hair he wore as Max Cady). And based on acting abilities alone, needless to say, De Niro's is a formidible list. ...

Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: This movie's main feature is Robert de Niro's versatility as an actor. He could be asked to do any kind of role, theif, mobster, comedian, etc. and he would do it with abosolute precision and quality. This movie is about a gangster named 'Paul Vitti' which has been played by Robert de Niro who has some problems dealing with the people in HIS world and is under a lot of stress. So, he goes to a psychiatrist 'Dr. Ben Sobol', which is played by Billy Crystal, to get himself analyzed and ask for help to make the anxiety stop. Its such a hilarious movie that you wouldn't get your eyes off it till the movie is over. And then you would wanna see it again a hundred times. Both Robert de Niro and Billy Crystal have given outstanding performances and I reckon that this movie is a must-have in anybody's DVD collection.

Summary: not bad...
Review: Okay, this movie was kind of funny, but I think that if I hadn't *just* watched the three godfather movies the week before I watched this, it wouldn't have been nearly as funny. I'd give the movie itself 4 stars, but the special features on the DVD were lame so the DVD itself only gets 3 in my book. The commentary was so dull. The dvd really didn't offer anything that you couldn't get from a VHS tape.

Summary: Ba Da Bing, Ba Da Boong
Review: A Mob Boss feels he's going soft and seeks therapy. That is the high concept behind ANALYZE THIS, a very light film from Harold Ramis (GROUNDHOG DAY, STRIPES). Billy Crystal (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, CITY SLICKERS) and Robert DeNiro (THE GODFATHER II, TAXI DRIVER) elevate the film beyond the passing fancy that the screenplay allows. Crystal and DeNiro play in a comfortable area here and each are given moments to shine. the result is a highly glossy piece that gets half of it success from the amount of fun they must of had making the film. The films has an okay widescreen transfer and a nice soundtrack. The DVD also has a very fun commentary involving the films stars.
