Featuring the stars and humor of the sketch comedy troupe THE UPRIGHT CITIZENS' BRIGADE, MARTIN AND ORLOFF is a similarly absurdist and episodic comedy. Martin Flam is an advertising executive with a ridiculous job: to come up with wacky mascots for various corporate commercials. After he attempts to kill himself, he is placed in the care of Dr. Eric Orloff, a glib, seemingly uncaring psychiatrist who leaves in the middle of their first session together to attend a softball game. As Martin begins following him around, demanding that Orloff complete their session together, the doctor goes to increasingly absurd (and comical) lengths to avoid his newest patient. MARTIN AND ORLOFF features supporting roles and cameos by such cult comedians as Amy Poehler, David Cross, Tina Fey, and Jeanine Garofalo. [More]

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.

The movie and its players have a natural, matter-of-fact sense of comedy. It doesn't rub our faces in its jokes.

A refreshing, original departure from junk like Starsky & Hutch.

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.

You'll chuckle at least once during the proceedings -- but probably not much more than that.

While there are some inspired moments of merriment, the overall product leaves much to be desired.

A more accurate title: Measly & Awful.

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.

Martin & Orloff might have worked as a 10-minute sketch, but Lawrence Blume's low-budget feature quickly wears thin.

Unless you find kicks in the groin hilarious, the lunacy here is considerably more tired than inspired.

An occasionally savvy farce that suffers from attention deficit disorder.

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.

Even though this film swings for the fences but doesn't quite connect, Martin and Orloff is still a solid double off the wall.

Suffocated by self-conscious absurdism, this in-joke of a movie is moribund.
