Movie Review: Analyze This
Analyze This (1999)
Rated R
Directed by Harold Ramis
Starring Robert DeNiro, Billy Crystal, and Lisa Kudrow
The Plot:
When a mobster (DeNiro) begins to have near-panic attacks, he thinks there's something wrong with him. Enter Dr. Ben Sobel (Crystal), a family psychiatrist who never imagined that this would be the "Family" he'd be treating. (Hey, I didn't write that joke. Don't blame me for it.)
The Good:
This movie was surprisingly funny. It had a lot of cute moments, and DeNiro was great to watch. Of course, Crystal is the star of this film, but he manages to play his character "lighter" than others would, giving his performance an interesting neurotic feel. Of course, Joe Viterelli is the best to watch here. He adds a dimention to the movie that really boosts its appeal.
The Bad:
Nothing major.
The Ugly:
Robert DeNiro should never cry on screen. EVER.
The Bottom Line:
Check this movie out. It's got a great cast, some pretty funny jokes, and a dream sequence filled with ironic glee.
My Rating: 4 out of 5.
