Billy Crystal: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked
...And Five That Sucked
5. Ben Sobel - Analyse That
The amount of genuinely great comedy sequels can be counted on the fingers of a one-armed man - whos afflicted with leprosy. Analyse That joined a select list of irredeemable comedy sequels that includes Blue Brothers 2000, Anchorman 2 and Son Of The Mask; and it didnt help that the original wasnt that great to start with.
The movie has his therapist character again getting involved with Robert De Niros depressed mobster, and they stretch the one joke premise to breaking point before stretching the broken pieces too. Crystal looks like the depressed one here, with his character having nothing to do but watch De Niro mugging his way towards a paycheck.
Theres no doubt that money was the motivating factor for the film being made and while no one will begrudge Crystal wanting to make some easy money it just would have been nice to see him try to make an effort with it.
