Analyze That Reviews

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!

Where Comedy Meets Tragedy

The pairing of Robert Deniro and Billy Crystal should make for an interesting collaboration, and for a brief period, it does.

This brief period is otherwise known as "Analyze This".

Unfortunately, this is a review for "Analyze That", the most unnecessary and disappointing sequel since "Ghostbusters II".

It starts with DeNiro pretending to be crazy by singing showtunes from West Side Story, and as cringe-makingly embarrassing as that sounds, it's the only laugh in the film.

From thereon in it's a quick downwards slide towards unfunny jokes and a plot so obviously mapped out it could have been written by Ordnance Survey.

It's time to admit it - DeNiro can't do funny. He's been too good in too many serious roles to suddenly start thinking of him as a clown. The memory of Travis Bickle, Jake LaMotta, Ace Rothstein et al is just too strong.

When the convoluted storyline concludes and the out-takes run over the end credits, the viewer is left with one simple question:

WHY?

Good Viewing

The partnership of De Niro & Crystal is really good. They make a good couple. The film is funny and entertaining We enjoyed it. It's as good as the original. We wondered if there could have been less bad language as it did not really need it to make it watchable but we may be a minority!

Only because No Stars isn't an option

After enjoying 'Analyze This', I was really looking forward to the sequel. I wish I hadn't bothered!

A rambling mess of a film that failed to capture my imagination or my attention.

Analyse your other options before choosing to watch 'Analyze That'

Analyze this

This is one of those films where everyone involved seems on and excited to be part of the film making experience. The actors shine. R De Niro and B Crystal play perfectly off each other. This one had me laughing amazed and entertained all at once, a most satisfying viewing experience. Crime, comedy and sharp dialogue all wrapped into one package that actually works realy well. Wish all films could be this good. I give it top ratings.

Absolutely boring

One of the most boring films I have had the misfortune to sit through, gave up half way - it was just too much. Too much swearing, no comedy, weak storyline, crude. Don't waste your time with this.

Weak sequel but great entertainment. It's got a beginning, a middle and an ending that most like in a movie. The acting is good, DeNiro makes the movie and makes it well worth watching. A great laugh but don't watch it with the kids.

Like all sequels not as good as the first, but still worth a watch. Has some really good subtle humour. Robert Deniro and Billy Crystal have put in quite a performance.

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

Analyze That

If you enjoyed the first one then you'll like the second. As sequels go it is alright, I quite enjoyed it but I am a big De Niro fan and I do like Billy Crystal's sense of humour. I'd recommend seeing the first before watching this though, and De Niro proves that he has quite a talent for comedy. The second follows much the same formula as the first with Billy Crystal stepping in to help save De Niro's life. It is a light comedy with a good performance from both which even my partner found funny, and if she laughs then it has to be good.
