I found this sequel to be as good if not better than the original (here's one thing it might have with the godfather series, aside from 'stealing' one of the scores for 10 seconds, teehee). It seemed as if the satirical elements in the film were handled more poignantly but at the same time, more light-heartedly than 'Analyze This'. The clashes of cultures, of personalities, inter-mob conflict & the FBI (FBI Agent's best line: "Just call the FBI's limousine service at 1-800-F**-Off", teeheehee) all work themselves-in pretty well here, the scenes are quite balanced with few excesses (i.e. overdoing some jokes to death). Some jokes/exploits are repeated a bunch of times, but they tend to be employed tactfully (i.e. I didn't feel embarrassed for the actors) and humorously (i.e. I laughed, I giggled). I confess I thought that this movie was not going to end up being up to par. I am pleased to be proven incorrect on that front. A good comedy and perhaps the best mob comedy (clearly one of the best).
In closing, amusing and well-worth the time if one is seeking some good laughs. Of course, that depends one one's sense of humor (people do die violently in this comedy) : but I suspect that most people going to see this one would already know more-or-less what to expect, and in this sense, I think they will be pleasantly surprised. I was.
7.5/10
