Analyze This Details

Robert De Niro gives one of his best comedy performances to date in this feel-good Mafia tale from Groundhog Day director Harold Ramis. De Niro stars as a Manhattan Mob boss whose stressful lifestyle causes him to seek undercover therapy from psychiatrist Billy Crystal. De Niro's deadpan responses to the Freudian dissections, together with soon-to-be-married Crystal's increasing entanglement with the “family” business, bring on the laughs thick and fast. There's a clever script packed with fresh repartee, digs at GoodFellas and hilarious moments of joyous farce, and Ramis's skilled timing allows the two dynamic leads to show their full comic potential.

"...A funny title, an even funnier premise and inspired odd-couple casting that's enough to prompt laughter just on the basis of the two-shots in its ad campaign. Think of it as an offer you can't refuse..."
