The Review: Comedy about a middle-aged NYC mobster (Robert De Niro) who is (justifiably) feeling intimations of mortality, and reluctantly agrees to undergo therapy with a psychiatrist (Billy Crystal) who himself is not too happy about the situation. Crystal's vacation in Florida in order to get married does not deter his conflicted client. Classic kvetching meets serious guilt. Lisa Kudrow is weak as his aspiring bride, but Joseph Viterelli (normally a character actor visible only in the background) is a delight in the role of De Niro's bodyguard. Strong language.
