Trivia
Billy Crystal wanted Meg Ryan to co-star as she did in "When Harry Met Sally... " The interviewer who questioned him for "Analyze This" said he would like to see them together again. But Ryan's personal problems made this difficult, so he picked other people for the film. See more »Goofs
Inside the elevator the displays shows 4th floor but the display outside when Eddie leaves shows 8th floor. See more »Quotes

This is actually a fun movie to watch at home on any given Sunday afternoon, be it alone or with a girlfriend.
I thoroughly expected nothing, did not know anything about the movie when i first watched it and had a silly smile across my face the whole time through.
Billy Crystal, well, he is his usual self, Hank Azaria is always funny - love the last line after the press junket about his penis, funny. John Cusack, I think steals the show, I know that he is a great actor and in this movie he shines even more, and we respect him for that. Julia Roberts is like Billy Crystal, her usual self, Zeta-Jones portrays the bitch perfectly and Seth well, he is too quiet in this flick.
Almost forgetting, i need to mention Christopher Walken, what a guy, what a character. This guy is one of the best 10 actors alive and needs to be recognised even more.
Great cast, not so bad storyline, good to pass time.
