I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There isn't really a whole lot to say about this movie. It's a gangster comedy that relies almost entirely on the chemistry between its two stars. Thankfully, that chemistry works quite well.De Niro and Crystal work off each other to create a lot of banter that provides most of the film's comedy. It should be noted, however, that Joe Viterelli brings a very likeable presence to his role which makes him stand out among the cast.The direction is very flat, with nothing really standing out in particular. In addition, the story is very typical for a mafia picture like this. But you didn't expect a quality story from this movie, you expected to see Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal be funny together, and they are. "Analyze This" is a perfectly fine diversion told through two very worthy actors.

Analyze This is a gangster comedy film that stars Robert De Niro as a mafioso and Billy Crystal as a psychiatrist.This film about a mobster seeking advice from a psychiatrist.Lisa Kudrow,Chazz Palminteri and Joe Viterelli co-star play key supporting roles.It was directed by Harold Ramis, who co-wrote the screenplay with playwright Kenneth Lonergan and Peter Tolan. Dr. Ben Sobel is a New York shrink who's becoming a little bored with his upscale but neurotic clientèle. Into Sobel's practice comes a guy with legitimate problems, Mafia kingpin Paul Vitti, a godfather who is being reduced to tears and panic attacks by stress and his guilt over his beloved father's assassination. Intimidated but also fascinated by Vitti, Dr. Sobel becomes frustrated when his mob boss patient becomes a full-time occupation, as Vitti summons the psychiatrist for his professional help at all hours and in all places, even including the doctor's Florida wedding to TV reporter Laura MacNamara. In the meantime, a power struggle is brewing with Vitti's long-time rival Primo Sidone, but Vitti begins employing the feel-good self-help jargon and techniques he's learned from Dr. Sobel to keep his enemy off balance. Just as the therapist and his powerful patient are making breakthroughs, the FBI attempts to persuade Sobel that Vitti is going to have him murdered, leading to a nearly lethal misunderstanding.It's a treat to watch Robert De Niro tweak every gangster role he's ever played as he was afforded such a perfect opportunity to flex his comedic muscles.This make it possible to get the best out of his performance as the psychologically- challenged gangster.This alone is one reason that makes this movie an above average comedy.Overall,it is a witty, upbeat comedy that is more concerned with making its audience laugh than any other of its cinematic virtues.

A comedy about a psychiatrist (Billy Crystal) whose number one-patient is an insecure mob boss (Robert DeNiro).I have to give these guys credit. DeNiro allegedly wanted the film to be authentic, getting actors from Little Italy. The restaurant scenes were also shot in restaurants that had been gangland murder scenes. Very cool. I was already drawn in from the opening with the Apalachin sequence. While maybe not completely accurate, it is clear the writers made a serious attempt and I appreciate that.Heck, I do not even normally like Billy Crystal, but he really comes through here. The casting of Lisa Kudrow is a bit odd, but it is a comedy so I suppose that is fine. DeNiro shines, as always. He has somewhat typecast himself, but it works... so, hey, that is fine by me.

Yeah. What is there not to like?Don't expect dying from laughter, or a masterpiece of comedy, or more of an authentic mafia feel or anything at all...watch this film for what it is. And so I repeat, resoundingly: what is there not to like ? 6.6/10 IMDb ?!!It's clever, funny, well acted. It's got Robert Deniro vs Billy Crystal, two absolute anti-poles of cinema. The supporting cast is just perfect. I don't like Lisa Kudrow but she fits perfectly. Yeah it's typical and commercial but it still is funny and definitely highly entertaining.The people who voted this below 8/10 are ppl who were looking for something closer to the Godfather - because objectively, as a comedy, there's no way this is an average or even slightly average comedy. Along with its sequel, they form a genuine comedy classic. And that's that.
