Nothing New
If you've seen the original "Analyze This", you'll know the premise of this sequel: a mild-mannered psychiatrist serves as a foil to a supposedly tough guy mob boss who harbors unexpected vulnerability. In this film, Dr. Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal) is called to the prison where Paul Vitti (Robert DeNiro) is serving time. It seems that Vitti has suffered a psychotic break after telephoning Sobel, and the powers-that-be release Vitti into Sobel's care. Of course, there's much more hiding behind DeNiro's obsessive reenactment of "West Side Story" than a breakdown, and the viewer is once again led into the wacky world of Vitti's crime family. The problem is that the first movie had a freshness of plot and character that seem stale in the sequel. We've seen it all before - and with better plotting. It ends up being a comedy that evokes more smiles than outright laughter. DeNiro and Crystal turn in solid performances, as does Joe Viterelli as Jelly. The rest of the cast doesn't have much to work with, and it shows.

Mildly funny, with some lulls and a heavy reliance on profanity, this film is a decent way to spend an evening given what's often on television, but it fails to deliver the outrageous comedy of the first.

PRETTY MUCH THE SAME MOVIE.
"Analyze That" follows almost exactly the same patterns that the original movie set. And perhaps that's not too bad, because we got another amusing movie from the duo De Niro / Crystal. The movie is funny, but for some reason we get the feeling that "Analyze That" could have been even better. This comedy has the right ingredients: Billy Crystal, one of the best comedians of his generation, Robert De Niro, the best actor of his generation, and a very charismatic supporting cast, including Lisa Kudrow.

Crystal and De Niro reprise their roles as a therapist and mob-boss patient, and of course they are the main reason why this movie has funny moments, Crystal plays the funny guy and De Niro plays the though guy, only this time he turns -apparently- into an old softy singing guy. De Niro isn't the typical comedian, we are used to see him as a mobster, but not as a singing mobster, so when he sings, we laugh.

"Analyze That" offers some laughs, not too many, but this sequel still can be considered as an amusing comedy, of course, we get the sensation that could have been even better, but if you liked the first one, you'll like "Analyze That".
