Mak Marialena 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.
Raul Faust "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.
Bud Donahue Was going to rate it a "1", but it's a Sunday, and while not a particularly good Christian, I can't in good conscience, do that...Furthermore, the "Spoiler" box was checked simply because I don't want to get into any trouble here although I don't expect to reveal anything about the movie - it was the better part of 15 years ago, and I only wish to say specifically is that the trailer contained ALL of the funny lines in the movie, so if you are going there for the humor of it - considering Billy Crystal and all - save your money and watch the trailer instead...Fact is the only reason I am here now is because I just wrote about this movie elsewhere, and thought "I should go stick my two cents in where it probably don't belong, so here I am...The Missus and I are a couple of Geezers - so take this one with the proverbial 'grain of salt'... We are major fans of Deniro AND Billy Crystal, having seen, as far as we know, ALL of the movies they've been in, AND we don't want to say anything bad about them - just the movie - it suked... I left out the 'c' on purpose, just to make the point it was so bad I am not going to waste a perfectly good 'c' on it, either...No we did not bother to even think about the follow-up movie they made - sequel, I think they call them, so I guess we haven't seen 'all' of their films... Sorry about that...Why did I bother? Basically, I think it's just for the 'Geezer' Set, who likely need to be careful with their entertainment dollars... So, the rest of you, hopefully, ignored this... LOL...Bless...
FilmBuff1994 Analyze This is a great movie with a very well developed storyline and an outstanding comedic cast. It's a really funny movie, I've seen it many times and the same scenes have me in stitches each time, it's a very clever parody on the crime genre and you can tell the writers, directors and actors did research to make the movie feel authentic. I didn't really like the scenes when the film parodied or made reference to the Godfather, I felt that it was better being a satire on mafia films in general and making reference to specific films was unnecessary. Robert de Niro and Billy Crystal both deliver outstanding performances, de Niro played the type of character that he is use to playing, but with a twist, he had to do scenes like the character having a panic attack that really let the actor shine, as for Crystal, he played a very funny and believable psychiatrist who is caught up in a situation he dosen't want to be in, and he portrays this perfectly throughout. Packed with big laughs and great character development, I would recommend Analyze This to anyone looking for a good comedy or crime film. A successful psychiatrist's life is turned upside down after a mobster seeks his help after a panic attack, and discovers insecurities he never knew he had. Best Performance: Robert de Niro Worst Performance: Molly Shannon
