"A laugh-out-loud riot."
-Larry King, CNN
In Analyze That, two-time Academy Award®-winner Robert De Niro continues his recent string of comedic roles (Analyze This, Meet the Parents, Showtime) that play off of his tough-guy reputation (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Godfather, Part II).
Analyze That also reunites De Niro with three-time Emmy Award®-winner Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally and City Slickers) in what CBS-TV’s David Sheehan calls “one of the funniest movies of the year.”
Harold Ramis (Caddyshack) reprises his writer/director role for Analyze That, while co-star and Emmy Award®-winner Lisa Kudrow (TV’s Friends) returns as Crystal’s beleaguered wife, who is less than thrilled when her husband’s psychotic mobster patient becomes their uninvited houseguest.

Synopsis
Infamous Mafioso Paul Vitti (De Niro) is suffering a nervous breakdown while serving time in prison. As a result, he is granted a conditional release into the custody and care of his psychotherapist, Ben Sobel (Crystal).
As therapy continues and Sobel tries to get to the bottom of Vitti’s psychosis, Sobel realizes his patient might not be as crazy as he claims to be.
Vitti’s apparent "breakdown" may merely be a carefully orchestrated act to get out of prison so he can resume his duties as a mob boss.
