Details: Amazon.ca After the commercial success of Analyze This, which even inspired the television series The Sopranos, Warner studios fashioned a sequel to it. Bringing together again Billy Cristal and Robert De Niro, associated for the occasion with the production, Analyze That continues to explore the relationship between a mafia godfather and his psychoanalyst. Victim of an attempted murder in prison, Paul Vitti seems to sink into madness. He hums West Side Story tunes only to fall into a catatonic state. The authorities then decide, on the condition that the mafioso finds the right path, to entrust him to his therapist, who has just lost his father and is suffering from terrible anxiety attacks. Achieving a sequel is hard work, and Analyze That is no exception. Of course, the humor of the first film is still present: a few gags even recall Woody Allen, and the comic strength of De Niro is not to be underestimated. The set does not however manage to take off. Perhaps because certain replicas smell of cliché, perhaps also because the rhythm runs out of steam quickly. Or maybe it's just the unpleasant feeling that the producers have just taken the same ingredients and started over. --Helen Faradji
