Trivia
According to Robert De Niro, he and Billy Crystal briefly toyed with the idea of co-directing the movie before deciding to offer it to Harold Ramis, who accepted.

Goofs
FBI agents are shown participating in the 1957 Appalachian raid. In that year, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI's official policy was that the Mafia did not exist, so no federal agents were involved in the raid which was conducted by New York state troopers only.

Amusing

Overall, I found "Analyze This" a very amusing comedy, well worth seeing. There are a number of laugh-out-loud lines, a screamingly funny parody of "The Godfather", and a well-chosen cast that's very funny. Movie is also very well photographed, and is never boring for an instant.

Some minor objections, though:

(1) Robert DeNiro was funny and believable - except for his crying scenes. These scenes came across as somewhat forced.

(2) Forgotten subplots. There are a couple of subplots - one with Crystal's relationship with his father, encounters with some FBI agents - that are started up, and then dropped and forgotten about. I strongly suspect this version we saw was cut from on originally longer print.
