Analyze That (2002)

WHEN YOU'RE A JET...
Seeing Robert DeNiro sing I FEEL PRETTY from West Side Story in a hospital gown is quite a sight indeed. ANALYZE THAT, the sequel to ANALYZE THIS, reunites DeNiro with fussbudgety Billy Crystal in a fairly entertaining, if often times slow, comedy. DeNiro fakes insanity to get out of prison and Crystal is assigned by the FBI to treat and watch over him. It's fun to watch DeNiro fail at all his "normal" jobs and when he lands a stint as the creative consultant for a tv crime series, his expertise comes in handy for his plot to dismantle rival gangs. Anthony LaPaglia in an uncredited role is hilarious as the Australian star of the series who seeks guidance from DeNiro and Cathy Moriarty-Gentile (De Niro's costar from RAGING BULL) does well in her role as one of the gang's leaders. The late Joe Viterelli is hilarious as DeNiro's sidekick, Jelly, but Lisa Kudrow is pretty bland as Crystal's wife.
DeNiro is proving himself to be a deft comic actor and Crystal does okay too; it's all lightweight and predictable but enjoyable too.

ANALYZE DEEZ!!!!
I thought the original was pretty good,
but this sequel was pure torture to watch!
I'de rather eat a giant roach, than watch
this movie again! Without question, one of
the worst comedys ever written!
