2002, 1 hr 35 min., Rated R for language and some sexual content.�Dir: Harold Ramis. Cast: Robert De Niro (Paul Vitti), Billy Crystal (Dr. Ben Sobol), Lisa Kudrow (Laura Sobol), Joe Viterelli (Jelly), Reg Rogers (Raoul), Cathy Moriarty-Gentile (Patty LoPresti), Anthony LaPaglia (Anthony Bella).

Billy and Bobby are back, and now that we�ve done away with the introductions in Analyze This, we can just sit back and get straight to the fun in the sequel. Don�t worry about plot, don�t worry about character development, because it doesn�t matter. When De Niro�s singing songs from West Side Story, you don�t need anything else.

Crystal and De Niro naturally get the most banter, but there�s plenty more from Jelly (Joe Viterelli) and we get to hang with the mob crew for intrigue and whackings. Cathy Moriarty, who apparently ingested all the weight that De Niro lost in Raging Bull, even gets in on the power struggle as the boss of the �family� business.

The most promising bit involves De Niro working as a consultant on �Little Caesar,� a �Sopranos�-like show with Anthony LePaglia as the star. There�s plenty of material to use here, as De Niro is right at home as the mob in a mob-like work, teaching LaPaglia that everything they say is ridiculous and not authentic.

Not much else to say, really. I laughed, I left, I didn�t think much of it afterwards.

Overall, I�ll vouch for it. Remember, �it�s a process,� as the movie reminds us as sort of a theme. There�s not a lot of �there� there, but it�s not about This, it�s about That, so the how and why don�t matter much. Get it? I hope not. Just expect some hearty laughs and don�t expect anything to change your life.
