One of the few films you could call wildly uneven and the filmmakers would still consider it a compliment.

Grows on you, as does stress-inducing, carefree Orloff on bemused Martin.
05/08/04
The movie and its players have a natural, matter-of-fact sense of comedy. It doesn't rub our faces in its jokes.
05/07/04
The saw about the shrink who's crazier than his patient gets a workout here, but it's given a likable spin by both of the leads.
03/05/04
You'll chuckle at least once during the proceedings -- but probably not much more than that.
01/15/04
While there are some inspired moments of merriment, the overall product leaves much to be desired.
11/23/03
Provides a fairly steady series of laughs thanks to the fully committed performances by the two stars and the sheer brazenness of its humor.

Sure, it's not much more than a 'sketch after sketch' presentation, but one can forgive an aimless narrative when the gags are this unexpectedly funny.
11/12/03
Martin & Orloff might have worked as a 10-minute sketch, but Lawrence Blume's low-budget feature quickly wears thin.
11/07/03
Unless you find kicks in the groin hilarious, the lunacy here is considerably more tired than inspired.
11/07/03
An occasionally savvy farce that suffers from attention deficit disorder.
11/06/03
Top Critic Despite lightning cameos by Tina Fey and dependably hilarious David Cross, this extended riff on an Analyze This theme flogs each jolting gag into SNL-style unconsciousness.
11/04/03
Even though this film swings for the fences but doesn't quite connect, Martin and Orloff is still a solid double off the wall.
11/03/03
Suffocated by self-conscious absurdism, this in-joke of a movie is moribund.
