Funny if immoral,shoot me then because I liked it !! The reason I took 1 star off was because I didn't buy the ending.Still a great 1999 release that runs 103 minutes.Loved a few "Godfather"references and I find it wild that the HBO series "The Sopranos" also started in 1999 but the psychiatrist angle has to be coincident since it is really different between the two,or is it ???? Like all good comedies and mob movies the cast is king.A+ all around and special shout out to Joe Viterelli as Jelly,right hand man to Robert De Niro's Paul Vitti.Great job by Billy Crystal as Dr. Ben Sobel ,Vitti's shrink and I have yet to see a film directed by Harold Ramis. Highly recommended.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.
Ben Sobol, Psychiatrist, has a few problems: His son spies on his patients when they open up their heart, his parents don't want to attend his upcoming wedding and his patients' problems don't challenge him at all. Paul Vitti, Godfather, has a few problems as well: Sudden anxiety attacks in public, a certain disability to kill people and his best part ceasing service when needed. One day, Ben unfortunately crashes into one of Vitti's cars. The exchange of Ben's business card is followed by a business visit of Don Paul Vitti himself, who wants to be free of inner conflict within two weeks, before all the Mafia Dons meet. Now, Ben Sobol feels somewhat challenged, as his wedding is soon, his only patient keeps him busy by regarding Ben's duty as a 24 hour standby and the feds keep forcing him to spy on Paul Vitti. And how do you treat a patient who usually solves problems with a gun? Written by Julian Reischl <julianreischl@mac.com>
