Analyze That

ANALYZE THAT, the star-studded sequel to 1999's smash comedy hit ANALYZE THIS, reunites neurotic mobster Paul Vitti (Robert De Niro) with his former psychiatrist Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal). The anxious mob boss is about to finish his prison sentence but he is suffering a nervous breakdown behind bars and the only one who can diagnose his ailments is Sobel. After a string of hysterical tests, the Feds grant Sobel permission to observe Vitti as a patient and, much to the dismay of Sobol's wife Laura (Lisa Kudrow), as a house guest. However, Sobel has problems of his own. He's suffering from a severe identity crisis after the death of his father, and Vitti's presence in his suburban New Jersey home has the psychiatrist acting crazy too. In an effort to straighten Vitti out, Sobel decides that the solution is to find him a real, honest job. Vitti tries his hand at several ill-matched professions, and finally finds his dream job as a technical advisor on a SOPRANOS-like cable television show. Everything is going smoothly until Vitti starts to take the show a little too seriously, calling his former mafia cohorts to the set. A raucous comedic event that uses the chemistry between De Niro and Crystal to great effect, ANALYZE THAT is yet another knee-slapping gem from director Harold Ramis.

    Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal — the double act that surprisingly struck box-office gold the first time around — return for this sequel, but fail to conjure up anything like the same magic. After faking a breakdown, De Niro's imprisoned mobster Paul Vitti is released into the custody of his psychiatrist Ben Sobel (Crystal), much to the disgust of Sobel's wife (Lisa Kudrow). Soon fed up with his slobbish houseguest, Sobel gets Vitti a job as a consultant on a TV show that is not unlike The Sopranos. The similarity could hardly be coincidental, but, unfortunately, the comparison doesn't flatter the film. The Sopranos has been consistently good over four series, while this comedy can't even stretch to two films, running out of ideas halfway through and turning into a lame heist caper. Crystal's quick-witted neuroses still spark effectively off De Niro's bovine charm, but that's not enough substance for a whole movie.

    crime pays!!!

    i never saw the first one but i did not need to in order to get this sequel.

    the acting is so full on comedy as you would expect from deniro an crystal and the gags are there on every scene, the story line is simple but well scripted and just so easy for you to fall into the the whole film. perfect viewing in fun criminal way!

    It plays on the gags similar to the first one. If you liked the first one then you will like it.
