Analyze This Trailers

Countless wiseguy films are spoofed in this film that centers on the neuroses and angst of a powerful Mafia racketeer who suffers from panic attacks. When Paul Vitti needs help dealing with his role in the "family," unlucky shrink Dr. Ben Sobel is given just days to resolve Vitti's emotional crisis and turn him into a happy, well-adjusted gangster.

2 of my fave movies of all times Analyze this and Analyze that.I would get surprised when people would say "My favorite Christmas movie is so and so and I watched it 3 times ". Well, NOW I watched Analyze this and Analyze that movies more than 90 times and I still watch 100 times more I was hoping and waiting for a new one. Need a 3rd, 4th, 5th, ...25th Analyze This and That movies. Perhaps Analyze Them or Analyze Him, then Analyze Her, Analyze Us ,etc... I don't care about the title but the movie content !The comedy and sarcasm mixed with serious issues is the best part. The actors playing their roles are fantastic So funny, magnificent movie !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for producing this.

"Analyze This" is a film that used to be very famous in my country, and it has never really caught my attention before I found out what therapy was about. Last night I gave it a chance, and I must say I enjoyed it. De Niro performs a mafia leader whose life isn't complete, due to the emotional problems he's been facing. After going to some sessions, this guy, Paul Vitty, realizes that he feels guilty for the death of his father, and that's what makes he gets better and leave the criminal organization. The discovering scene is very powerful, and I really congratulate De Niro for that performance. Lisa Kudrow, on the other hand, even thought she's a lot of fun in "Friends", in here, her character is just useless and out of context; I just don't get her character or her acting in this. Also, this movie is never meant to be taken seriously, so don't expect it to be a smart comedy-- actually it's a little corny-- and you'll be able to have a GOOD time.

There is Chemistry to be sure in this compounding of Comedy/Gangster Stereotypes. The two Leads, the Director, and an able supporting Cast deliver a Hit Movie with more laughs than not. It is stretching things a bit far at times and things get a little out of their already out there orbit, but for the most part it is a fun and Entertaining Movie.It does have a somewhat believable look inside the Mafia and the Doctor's Couch and that makes this all the more bizarre as we watch things break apart in a National Lampoon kinda way. Most of the Comedy, that works the best, is verbal ("If I go Fag you die.") and are much better than the Sight Gags. The Gunplay and the physical Violence fail to satirically sting.The Movie works more than it doesn't, with the Deniro crying Scenes the most obvious misfire, but overall it hits more than misses and there are enough belly-laughs to make this quite a watchable take-off on familiar and popular Mob Movies.

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.
