Analyze This (1999)
And so, unable to escape his fate, De Niro starts to get cast in movies as himself. Is he the retired government agent in this one or the misunderstood gangster? Judging from the pic, he can't tell either. We can, though, (it's Analyze This - 1999). Maybe that's because we recognize Billy Crystal. But it brings up something we haven't discussed too much. De Niro can be funny. He knows what we expect, so he gives it to us. Silly or scary, we want to see him, and maybe if, after thirty years, crazy trumps cute, we don't care.
