George P Apr 15, 2019 Even though it's the typical typecast for De Niro, his chemistry with Crystal is plenty engaging in this light Harold Ramis' comedy about a therapist helping a mob boss control his panic attacks. See more

Abraham G Jan 8, 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).

Kylo S Dec 14, 2018 Family Over Fear. Analyze This Ramis's fired jokes are much more of a threat to the protagonist than the gun itself. Drawing out the most simplest concept of fear, the movie soars as much as it dives deep into this eerie relationship. Representing opposite side of the emotions, the chemistry between the lead cast is surprisingly good. Walking entirely on the arena of irony, this blatantly honest tale has all its conversation spoken with hesitation, whether it be then Crystal because of fear or De Niro for his narrow minded enclosed persona. Another major factor that elevates the effervescence of the plot is its ferocious pace and layered screenplay that is peeled on with light humor and caring nature. And it is that caring nature of those characters that absorbs you into their hilarious sessions. The makers also uses the reputation of the cast wisely in order to squeeze out as much as laugh as they can, like the enactment of the infamous scene of The Godfather. There aren't much gags to carry on, as it is kept to the point, but the sort-of-assistants of De Niro when are ordered to recruit Crystal is a gag that stays similar and still works throughout the course. De Niro can also be a comic player with brilliant comic timing. Not every actor can pull of such roles especially when their teeth are sink in, on drama like such. But De Niro is still able to challenge his opponent Crystal, though he is no match in front of him. Frankly, Crystal has got an upper hand on this tale, his character evolves much more than any other with three dimensional perspective and cut throat sarcasm, he steals the show; especially the last speech. Analyze This surfs more on a merryland and the makers make sure you have got no right to object that. See more

Kylo S Feb 16, 2018 Not a classic or even a highlight in the filmography of any of its principles, but still a solid piece of comedic entertainment.

Kylo L Oct 20, 2017 The script was definitely funny with lots of laughs and funny moments along the way. But it was also quite violent and I didn’t enjoy the basic premise for this black comedy finding it unsettling at times. See more

Rey R May 30, 2017 really good. nice tight script. a great lesson in making a focused tight sciprt and film. which is rare to see for a movie with such big names and on that scale. but maybe thats just something you see more from some older comedies. this comedy isnt so old, but its from a slower paced time. i was a little annoyed and surprised by how dumb they made the gangsters. i would have liked to have seen them not just be caricature dumb italian mobsters.
