ANALYZE THAT

 

Robert DeNiro, Billy Crystal, Lisa Kudrow, Cathy Moriarty

Warner Bros.; Directed by Harold Ramis

Rated R; 95 minutes; 2002

 

Mafioso Paul Vitti (DeNiro) has been spending time in the pen but is allowed to be released into the custody of his psychiatrist, Dr Ben Sobel (Crystal) in this follow up to the smash hit Analyze This.  This time around however, it is Ben who needs a shoulder to cry on as he is feeling the stress of taking over the family practice.  Ben must figure out how to properly continue his father’s practice and Paul must adjust to “straight” life, both with hilarious results.

 

PROMOTION IDEA:

 

Use the mafia theme of this film and have your committee members dress up like gangsters to pass out flyers in the week leading up to the show.
