Samenvattingen(1)
Maffiabaas Paul Vitti zit in de gevangenis en heeft serieuze bijstand nodig wanneer hij er weer uitkomt. Vanzelfsprekend keert hij weer terug bij zijn psychiater Dr. Ben Sobel voor hulp, en komt erachter dat Sobel zelf wel wat hulp kan gebruiken. Sobel heeft namelijk de praktijk van de familie geërfd, met als bijkomend effect een hoop stress. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

The first 20 minutes are great and very promising. But after the cards are dealt, the screenwriter doesn’t know what’s an ace and what’s a jack. And the director, Harold Ramis, is a bit bored. The actors are outstanding; Robert De Niro excels again. A few of the jokes are worth seeing and hearing, but overall the film is half a star weaker than the original Analyze This.

The second film suffers from the same ailment as its predecessor. Watching Paul Vitti's softened mobster, divinely played by Robert De Niro, brilliantly parodying his most famous tough-guy mafia poses, means that you will be swept up in never-ending humorous intoxication. Yet the moment a more serious level comes into play (the rivalry of the Italian families for power), Ramis suspiciously starts to have issues because it is clear that he is not very confident in these waters. The ending is such a below-average attempt at a combination of action, wit, and some sort of point that drags the whole previous effort down into mediocrity.

It's still watchable and relatively funny in the beginning, but the more the runtime progresses, the more the polished dialogue in the style of the first episode is abandoned in favour of slapstick. Qualitatively completely unworthy of its older sibling, but still a passable comedy. Only that it’s not that funny.
