Do you ever wonder why you like a movie but still realize all of its faults? Well thats what happened to me while watching "Analyze That", the sequel to the 1999 $100 million grosser "Analyze This". The movie is seriously flawed, it focuses way too much on Paul Vitti (Robert DeNiro), barely uses the awesome potential of Lisa Kudrow, and makes Billy Crystal into a slapstick comedian instead of the intelligent comedian we all know him to be. The only reason I can recommend this movie is because of the great chemistry between all four major characters, Vitti, Dr. Ben Sobel (Crystal), Laura Sobel (Kudrow) and Jelly (Joe Veterelli). This movie is not nearly as good as its predecessor but I still laughed quite a lot despite the ludicrous plot. Thank god for one-liners. (Two months later) After thinking about this I decided I really didn't like this very much.
