    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    Both too unfocused and overly familiar. It has enough comic energy to generate some chuckles, but even when we laugh we're always wondering why the jokes aren't funnier. [5 Mar 1999]

    Variety Todd McCarthy

    The gradual dilution of fresh humor is further undercut by a queasy sense that the picture, in the end, is quietly endorsing all the psychoanalytical mumbo jumbo that it has been poking fun at all along.

    USA Today Mike Clark

    Because De Niro's performance is aptly ''Scorsese-aggressive'' while Crystal effectively underplays, one can easily sit through this bottom-line disappointment with a smile painted on, waiting for belly laughs that rarely come. [5 Mar 1999]

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    The comedy here isn't all on the surface, and Viterelli [the bodyguard Jelly] is one reason why.

    Maybe the problem with Analyze This is that it isn't enough of a Ramis movie. [5 Mar 1999]

    The New York Times Elvis Mitchell

    As he demonstrated in "Groundhog Day," Ramis knows how to handle a high-concept story with unusual cleverness, and he does it again here. It helps to no end that De Niro and Crystal, despite their obvious differences, are perfectly in tune.

    Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

    Crystal turns in his best (read: least sappy) performance in ages, getting through an entire movie -- most of it, anyway -- without mugging.

Analyze This--1999 by Archlea
Here was the inspiration for the Sopranos. When it was released, this movie broke some new ground--really refreshing qualities. Good acting. Some good scenes; a couple had me laughing out loud.
