This DVD was another of my bargain buys to watch during the football. Me and my hubby were both very impressed with it.

THE FILM

The film involves Paul Vitti,. Played by De Niro who is involved with the mob, he has been suffering panic attacks and seeks the help of a shrink so he can get better for a big meeting which is taking place with all the main men of the gangs. Ben Sobel, played by Billy Crystal is the unlucky shrink who Vitti chooses to off load his problems to.

Bill tells Vitti that he is unable to treat him for 2 weeks as he is going on vacation and getting married, his wife to be is played by Lisa Kudrow. As he sets off on vacation Vitti follows him. Ben is finding that everywhere he goes Vitti is there and in need of help.

Ben's wedding day arrives but all does not go to plan, did Vitti have anything to do with it? Ben finally agrees to give Vitti the help that he needs but all does not go to plan and the FBI and other gangsters start to watch the pair and Ben finds himself in all kinds of scrapes.

Will Ben ever get married and will he be able to cure Vitti so he can attend the big meeting of all the heads of the big gangs?


MY OPINION

This film states that it is a comedy so I was expecting good things from it, I definitely was not disappointed. Crystal and De Niro are great together on screen and the supporting actors also work well with the pair. At times during the film both me and my hubby were laughing out loud

The film was packed with funny bits, from Ben rear-ending a mob car and the boot popping open to reveal and bundled up body to the giant wedding present Vitti sent to Ben.

I would have liked Lisa Kudrow's character to have had more of a part in the film as I do like her as an actress and I feel she could have bought more to the film with her great comic acting.

The one thing I did not like in the film was the giant collars the mob men wore, for some reason I personally thought they looked horrid, but then again it was easy to spot the gang members.

The story was very good and it kept me entertained throughout. I found that the run time of 99 minutes was just right.

EXTRAS

The DVD contains some extras which are:-

Commentary by Billy Crystal and Robert De Niro
Gag Reel / Out Takes

I personally have not watched these but if I do get round to finding the time then I will return and update the review.

INFO

The film was produced by Paula Weinstein and Jane Rosenthal, Directed by Harold Ramis. It was released by Warner Brother in 1999.

The film has a run time of 99 minutes, which is just right and it has a 15 certificate which is very appropriate as there is quite a lot of swearing in the film.

I picked my copy up for a bargain price of 99p on eBay so do shop around and find yourself a good bargain.

Overall I would highly recommend this film to all as it is a great funny comedy.
