Analyze That | 2002 | R | - 5.6.10
The empathic psychiatrist (Billy Crystal) and the lovable mob boss (Robert De Niro) pick up where they left off in "Analyze This": De Niro is now in prison and desperately needs his shrink's help when it turns out someone's trying to whack him. A few murder attempts later, a funeral, a robbery, a few crime family reunions, and a TV show that's loosely based on mob life, and the boss and the shrink resolve their problems together. Also with Lisa Kudrow, Joe Viterelli and Brian Rogalski. [1:35]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - We hear a man and a woman having sex; the woman moans loudly for a long time and we hear it through the wall (we see the woman in a negligee that exposes cleavage at one point). There are a couple of scenes at a club where women in bikinis dance suggestively on stage; they dance around poles, bend down for men to tuck money in their bikini bottoms and one grabs a man's head and presses it into her cleavage. A man's robe falls open and we see his bare chest and it is suggested that the rest of the people in the room see his genitals. A man and a woman kiss. A man makes sexually suggestive hand gestures several times in an outtake reel. Two men talk about a man's erection. A man admires a woman's legs in a miniskirt, and a man describes what he sees in a picture and he talks about a man coming home to find his wife in bed with another man. A man grabs his crotch several times in one scene (please see the Violence/Gore category for more details).

A man is hit on the head, dragged to a roof, hung over the side and is dropped into a garbage dumpster (we hear him hit hard and see him later with a bloody chin and nose). A man shoots up a restaurant trying to kill a man; we don't see anyone hit, but we see the furniture blown to splinters. There's a car chase where the occupants of one car shoot at the other car, the cars drive through a bank Drive-Thru, they drive through a warehouse and one car ends up driving off a pier and we hear that the occupants were killed. Men trying to climb over a wall are shot at repeatedly. A man punches a man in the face repeatedly (we see his very bloody mouth). We hear a man being punched, he falls out of the door of a trailer onto the ground and we see his bloody nose.

A man shoots four times into a bed that appears to have a man in it (he's hiding underneath the bed). A man approaches another man with a knife and the other man hits him across the head with a food tray. A man punches another man in the face, he falls to the floor, we see his bloody nose and another man points a gun at him. A squib explodes under a man's shirt and it spurts red goo. Men dangle from the bottom of a truck as it is being hoisted into the air. Men are pulled out of a truck, shoved around and threatened by men with guns. A man says he's "gonna start shooting." A man talks about someone trying to kill him in several scenes and there are allusions to other people having been killed: he talks about a man's name being "the Wrench" because he "twisted a guy's head off." A man talks about someone being able to shoot him in the head, a man talks about wanting to "hit guys on the head with a baseball bat," a man talks about another man's father having been murdered in a few scenes, and a man talks about another man having committed suicide by stabbing himself in the back and throwing himself off a bridge.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
