Watch Analyze That For Free

Good concept, poorly executed.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

"Analyze That" is a sequel to the 1999 film "Analyze This" that rather misses the reason why that latter film was enjoyable."Analyze This" was a movie that worked fairly well as an amusing comedy because of the chemistry between Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal. Their relationship was the heart of the picture, and the audience gravitated towards it.De Niro and Crystal are no worse here, but the script makes the mistake of not focusing on them enough. Instead, the majority of the film follows De Niro and his plans to get back into the "business." This persists until the final act, which turns into the most cliched mafia picture you've ever seen, nearly devoid of humor all together.All of this considered, however, the movie does feature some scenes between De Niro and Crystal, and when their doing their thing and bantering with each other, it's just as funny as the first film. That being said, I simply wish there was more of it."Analyze That" is not a terrible film, it's simply a mediocre and forgettable one that doesn't reach even the simple enjoyability of its predecessor.

Analyze That is a mafia comedy film, and a sequel to Analyze This that stars Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal, who respectively reprise their roles as mobster Paul Vitti and psychiatrist Ben Sobel.Lisa Kudrow,Joe Viterelli and Cathy Moriarty-Gentile co-star to play key supporting roles.It was co-written and directed by Harold Ramis. Ever since he ended up behind bars, mob leader Paul Vitti has been in sad shape, alternately weeping like a child and singing favorite tunes from West Side Story. Fearful of his emotional stability, prison officials release Vitti into the custody of his psychiatrist, Dr. Ben Sobel, but this is far more responsibility than Sobel wants -- he's having troubles with his family after the recent death of his father, also an analyst, and has been overworked since taking over his late father's practice. Sobel becomes even more exasperated when he learns Vitti will be moving into his home, which is especially upsetting for Sobel's wife, Laura. As Sobel tries to get to the root of Vitti's problems -- which are very much real, even if he was faking his symptoms behind bars -- he tries to help Vitti find a straight job, which is hardly easy for a man of his temperament. And adding to all this confusion, several members of Vitti's old crew are after him, determined to insure that he doesn't pass along any incriminating information.Audiences who loved Analyze This may have to see the new movie to believe just how empty it is. What they'll find is a profound difference between the two movies since this sequel is thin, flat and largely forgettable as De Niro and Crystal trudge through with all the enthusiasm of John Madden at a salad bar.Also,where the first movie - Analyze This - struck just the right tone, blending anxiety attacks with machine-gun attacks to come up with a comic La Cosa Neurosis, this picture consistently goes too far in all directions.

This sequel of the 1999 mob comedy "Analyze This" has plenty to keep the viewers laughing, bemused, and sometimes shocked. It's no longer a tale of a sweet psychiatrist keeping a mafia don sober. On the contrary, it's the gangster who's showing his shrink the reality of the tough side to every human soul. Guess who's expected to be lying on the psychiatric couch? Yep, this film offers a fun ride to the psychology of the shrink! And it makes no apologies for pumping up enough guffaws to keep one's throat sore. It may not be the comedy for the puritanical grandmas and grand-papas, but face it, it's gangland - foul-mouthed, and rude gestures, vulgarities, et. al. Yep, Director Harold Ramis can't be accused of not injecting new flavor and spice to this sequel's characters! Nope, there's no way one can complain that it has the same old jokes. De Niro and Billy Crystal, and a cast of amusing actors are offering a new outlook on mob life and it's influence. There are demons lurking in every mind; there is the identity crisis to consider - even with the good, old professional folks.

Although this sequel isn't as good as the first pairing, Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal have good chemistry, and the supporting actors, especially Joe Viterelli in his last film, are great. It's funny how casting becomes so important in Mafia films (there's even a sort of parody of this in the film, when Paul gets a job as a consultant on a film set). Pretty good script. Considering DeNiro and Crystal could have dialled it in, they seem to have made an effort to show that their on-screen relationship has evolved from the first movie. Lisa Kudrow's considerable comedic talents are wasted here, however, and Cathy Moriarty could have had a much larger role, she's that good. I don't want to give anything away, but the ending is relatively weak. Also, DeNiro's hair colour seems to change with each scene. Despite this, watch. Enjoy.
