5.0 out of 5 stars Godfather sees shrink. This one was first and funnier!, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Don's Analyst [VHS] (VHS Tape)

With all the hoopla swirling around HBO's "Soprano's" and "Analyze This" becoming a $100,000,000 review darling, I have to say I'm shocked that this wonderful little movie from National Lampoon has gone unnoticed. It's smart, funny, romantic, wonderfully directed and has terrific performances from an amazing cast. Kevin Pollak (as the kidnapped shrink) and the luscious Sherlyn Fenn are particularly great together. Robert Loggia as the "depressed Don" made me laugh and cry. Some of his scenes are as memorable as his famous "piano dance" with Tom Hanks in "Big". Joe Bologna and SCTV's Joe Flaherty are also a comic standouts. I laughed out loud throughout! This film reminded me of "Moonstruck" and "Prizzi's Honor". It's a mob comedy with a brain and a heart. I highly recommend that you add it to your shelf next to these other great films. Don't let the National Lampoon logo fool you. This is not some stupid "Vacation" movie. It deserves to be seen by a wide audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's "Mob Psychology" out there., August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Don's Analyst [VHS] (VHS Tape)

All right already... these days it seems like all good Godfathers must go see a shrink. But the previous review intrigued me enough to rent this film. (very hard to find) In my opinion, this little independent movie is the "Big" in this high-concept film derby. It's well-made with great characters, sweet but not too syrupy, and most importantly very, very funny. Even if you're not a mob film fan this is a comedy that's worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant, non gaudy, easy watching light comedy ., June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Don's Analyst [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A light comedy that, believe it or not, has a story to it. Not gaudy, language that we have all heard...yet..tastefully done. Performers that we all like and again well done. I highly recommend this movie to viewers that like the fun Mob things without being overly rediculous. I will buy this tape so that I can watch it again when I need a laugh...as I do with My Cousin Vinny.
