February 24, 2012Quite a funny take on the pre Soprannos Crime boss in need of therapy, which allowed De Niro a familiar genre to provide the comical slant. An enjoyable performance from Billy Crystal. The first half is definitely better than the second, but it's still worth a watch.

"New York's most powerful gangster is about to get in touch with his feelings"

May 20, 2011old formula for buddy movies: "we don't want to be buddies, but we have to be, and damn it if we're not startin' to like it!" likable leads carry this off, but watch for joe viterelli as a charming second banana to add glue to the works.

January 1, 2010A good fun adult comedy about a mafia boss suffering from panic attacks! It has some very funny scenes and kinda spoofs mafia films as well. Well worth watching.

November 22, 2009A nice team up of Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal, but it is no classic. The film rests upon the performances and has a very basic plot without any depth. The filming style is nothing special and has no personality. It is a shallow attempt to capitalize on two big movie stars.

What De Niro ends up doing is simply burlesquing himself, much as he would do if he were guest-hosting Saturday Night Live. Full Review

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
What we learn -- yet again -- is that potentially terrific comedies are often whacked by filmmakers who feel the need to spread a little therapy themselves. Full Review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Moments and lines are so perfect that they linger in the mind. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It's a treat to watch Robert De Niro -- the goodfella supreme -- tweak every gangster role he's ever played.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Funny partly because De Niro and Crystal do what we expect them to do, and partly because they don't. Full Review

De Niro and Crystal are a crackerjack pairing, and their interplay is loony enough to make you forgive the movie being stuck in neutral most of the time. Full Review

Director Harold Ramis keeps the gangsters real and funny at the same time.
