A sitcom disguised as a movie!

Jeff Millar Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.

Steven Rosen Denver Post (Top Critic)

Some good jokes but a bad plot.

Peter Rainer New York Magazine (Top Critic)

What we learn -- yet again -- is that potentially terrific comedies are often whacked by filmmakers who feel the need to spread a little therapy themselves.

Andrew Sarris New York Observer (Top Critic)

[De Niro and Crystal] would seem to be perfectly cast as this oddest of odd couples, but something has gone wrong with the comic chemistry.

As the movie plods on, the jokes start to fall flat.

It's a treat to watch Robert De Niro -- the goodfella supreme -- tweak every gangster role he's ever played.

Thanks to three very strong writers...and the willpower of its leads, Analyze This turns out to be an amusing piffle. [Blu-ray]

It all ends in a hail of bullets and profanities -- but the laughs keep coming.

Sometimes very funny, but wears its sudden tone swings and flurries of profanities like a pair of cement shoes...

It's a one-joke movie, but it's an awfully good joke, told here by experts.

Not since Midnight Run has Mr. De Niro been afforded such a perfect opportunity to flex his comedic muscles.

Even though it's only March, Analyze This is going to be the comedy to beat this year - nothing else so far has come close.

The comedy is heavy and the use of the stars lazy and cliched...

Robert De Niro gets the best out of his performance as the psychologically- challenged gangster.

In Midnight Run (1988), De Niro and Charles Grodin made a wonderful team, but the pair in Analyze This doesn't seem to click in the same way.

A witty, upbeat comedy that is more concerned with making its audience laugh than any other of its cinematic virtues (or lack thereof).

Nothing new, especially for its stars, but it's good fun nonetheless.

Unfortunately for every gag that DeNiro and Crystal pull off -- and they do have an effective comedic chemistry -- the script strands them in eddies of frivolity.

You don't go into Analyze This expecting to be surprised; you go into it hoping to be amused. Using that yardstick, the film is a terrific success.

Flaws aside, in the end Analyze This comes across with the goods -- crooked guys and straight-up laughs.

It makes for an interesting balance of laughs and shoot-outs, but what really makes it fly is the perfect casting of Robert De Niro, the quintessential big screen gangster.
