Analyze This. 7/10
I’ve kept a copy of it rotting away in the closet for years and never watched it once until now.
I was afraid of just how shit it would be. If it was just gonna be some knockoff Sandler mess.
The film’s introduction was clever enough to riff The Apalachin Meeting. Plenty of other scenes like that were complete eye openers because Hollywood usually isn’t that smart with use of parody.
Sopranos, Goodfellas, GTA; all are already dark comedies. So I always found it funny there was this blockbuster obsession to dumb down the material.
Whoever directed this probably had to fight to the death just to not make this total PG-13 garbage. It’s hackish at some parts but competence is definitely there.
