Details: Product Description They locked up mob boss Paul Vitti in Sing Sing and that's where he sang sang - bellowing West Side Story tunes and convincing officials he's more suited for a nut house than the Big House. Better yet, the Feds say, let's release Vitti into the custody of his therapist Ben Sobel. ROBERT DE NIRO (Vitti) and BILLY CRYSTAL (Sobel) reprise their Analyze This roles and reteam with filmmaker HAROLD RAMIS (Caddyshack) and co-star LISA KUDROW. Amazon.ca Following the commercial success of Analyze This, which even inspired the television series The Sopranos, Warner studios crafted a sequel. Reuniting Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro, who also partnered as producers for the occasion, Analyze That continues to explore the relationship between a mob boss and his psychoanalyst. After a murder attempt in prison, Paul Vitti appears to be descending into madness. He hums tunes from West Side Story before falling into a catatonic state. The authorities then decide, on the condition that the mobster mends his ways, to entrust him to his therapist, who has just lost his father and is suffering from terrible panic attacks. Making a successful sequel is a difficult exercise, and Analyze That is no exception to the rule. Of course, the humor of the first film is still present: a few gags even recall Woody Allen, and De Niro's comic strength is not to be underestimated. However, the whole does not manage to take off. Perhaps because some lines are clichéd, or perhaps because the pacing runs out of steam quickly. Or perhaps it is simply the unpleasant impression that the producers were content to take the same ingredients and start over. --Helen Faradji
