The basic story line goes like this, Robert de Niro's character is head of the mafia and after seeing his best friend gets killed, he has a rethink on life and need to see a shrink (Billy Crystal). The film also features Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe from friends. Here acting is just as expected and literally is the same as in Friends.
The film was not one that I enjoyed much and I don't think that I would pay to see this one again. The combination of the actors with the story just don't work for me or the film. It's trying to be too comical with poor jokes. Although there are about one or two parts where the jokes are just about laughable.
There is nothing memerable about the film so unless you are a fan of the three stars or you just like mafia type films then stay well away from this one.

Advantages: De Niro Steals the Show, Crystal is fairly good, works well between them both. Disadvantages: Lisa Kudrow has been typecast into her Phoebe from Friends role again.
