Review of Analyze This (1999) by Hector G — 08 Jan 2019
Robert De-Niro in a comic role! Yes, and the film is great too. Analyze This is not a great comedy, but it offers a fairly good time by poking fun at mobsters and psychiatrists. Both Freud and The Godfather take a pounding, but the best-conceived comic sequence comes near the end, when Crystal's Sobel is placed in a situation where he has to impersonate a Mafioso, and finds that he can't even pronounce "consigliere.
" Instead of force-feeding audiences stale, predictable jokes about mobsters and mayhem, Director Harold Ramis is content to let the humor evolve naturally out of the situations postulated by the script and the performances of lead actors Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal.
(Interesting comedy from Harold Ramis).
