He's been in the Mob all his life and is about to take charge of the New York families. But just when he should be at his most powerful, he starts to panic. He doesn't have the heart to plug an adversary who deserves shooting. Enter Billy Crystal.
Light bulbs go on, and a doctor-patient relationship is born.
Though Vitti is a reluctant patient, he finds that his little talks with Sobol seem to help. Sobol isn't just worried about having a mobster for a patient. You can guess who follows him to Florida and wreaks havoc on the ceremonies. It's not a comic sketch that's been stretched to fill a feature. The laughs flow generously from a plot that's only slightly exaggerated from the many familiar mob movies.
