Description: Analyze This is a 1999 comedy film that revolves around mob boss Paul Vitti and his unexpected encounter with psychiatrist Ben Sobel. During a lunch meeting with his consigliere Manetta, Paul narrowly avoids an assassination attempt that claims Manetta’s life. Meanwhile, Ben, a stressed-out psychiatrist, struggles with his unfulfilling career, his curious son, and his upcoming wedding to Laura MacNamara.
When Ben accidentally rear-ends Paul’s car, he unknowingly catches a glimpse of a tied-up man in the trunk. Paul’s associate, Jelly, handles the situation but later recommends Ben to Paul when the mob boss experiences panic attacks. Reluctantly, Ben agrees to help Paul, uncovering the mobster’s deep-seated anxiety and erectile dysfunction, which Ben attributes to stress.
As Ben prepares for his wedding in Miami, Paul and his crew follow, leading to further chaos. During a critical moment, Paul opens up about his troubled relationship with his father, which Ben connects to his anxiety. However, tensions rise when an assassin disrupts the wedding, forcing Ben to confront Paul about his volatile behavior. In an attempt to resolve his anger, Paul calls his rival, Primo Sindone, but the conversation quickly escalates into threats. The film blends humor and drama as Paul navigates his emotional struggles while balancing his life in the mafia.
