this wasn not hilarious a everyone tell me it be and but it be still very enjoyable and pretty solid entertainment . although a comedy and it have violence and a lot of profanity . robert de niro and a usual and be excellent and once again surprise viewer with his comedic talent . he play a mobster ( familiar territory ) but one who need psychiatric help . he hilarious when he cry . his shrink be play by billy crystal and in an untypical low key character role . my favorite in this film be joe viterelli and the fat guy mobster who have a few very funny line . viterelli be one of these guy you see in a ton of gangster movie and be always interesting . the female lead in here and lisa kudrow ( laura ) be not appeal to me and character wise . overall and a funny movie and much good than the sequel .
