Fearful of his emotional stability, prison officials release Vitti into the custody of his psychiatrist, Dr. Ben Sobel (Billy Crystal), but this is

I can analyze this movie in three words: Thumbs Friggin' Down.

thin, flat and largely forgettable, as De Niro and Crystal trudge through with all the enthusiasm of John Madden at a salad bar.

An offer we can most definitely refuse.

Where the first movie struck just the right tone, blending anxiety attacks with machine-gun attacks to come up with a comic La Cosa Neurosis, this picture consistently goes too far in all directions.

Audiences who loved Analyze This may have to see the new movie to believe just how empty it is. What they'll find is a profound difference between This and That.

Plays like the sort of phone-it-in sequel that's patched together mainly to further enrich the people who made the original.

Amusing mob comedy for older teens only.

More than any other Robert De Niro film, invites the speculation that the once-revered actor has become the gimmicky comic screenwriter's whipping boy. [Blu-ray]

The end credit outtake reel feels like a desperate bid to rescue the dud ending and make the moviegoers leave with a smile.

No longer has the elements of surprise and novelty in its favor.

A marginally diverting, fun way to spend a couple of hours, and you even get to hear De Niro and Crystal duet on tunes from 'West Side Story.'

Aren't we all just a little tired of De Niro's clownish schtick and Crystal as his nattering sidekick?

While it's fun to see DeNiro poke fun at the image that he's helped make so famous, the film just doesn't have enough of a storyline to keep your interest

Audience Reviews for Analyze That

Paul Vitti: Look at the size of this trunk. You can put three bodies in there. "Back in Therapy"Analyze That is a major disappointment for me after how much I liked Analyze This. It feels like a lazy re-do of the first one, with basically the same things happening. With Analyze That, everything just feels too average
