Analyze That (DVD)

(Part 2)...Analyze that on the other hand is a lot less funny (which is odd as the main actors are the same and the writer/director are the same). With the first movie having a lot of light hearted gangster humour this movie takes you more gangster and less humour.

The relationship between Crystal and De Niro is stronger than ever, and the two are more flexible than in their first outing together. De Niro lightens up a bit and gives a better performance than in the original, ...  Read the complete review
