How do you counsel a patient who thinks "hitting" a pillow to release anger means pumping it full of bullets?

Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro star as a complacent psychiatrist and his neurotic Mob boss client in the gangster comedy Analyze This.

Murdering Mafia don Paul Vitti (Academy Award winner De Niro) makes psychiatrist Ben Sobol (Crystal) an offer he can't refuse: Get rid of his panic attacks before an impending crime-family meeting--or else. Now the underachieving Long Island family therapist gambles his professional reputation, his future happiness and his own life to treat his most disturbed patient ever. And, raising the humor stakes, director Harold Ramis pairs Crystal with Lisa Kudrow ("Friends") as Sobol's fiancée who refuses to let anything overshadow her upcoming nuptials.
