Summary: Get rid of the vices to get to the virtues...
Review: This is easily John Ritter's finest film. Now, that may sound like damning with faint praise, as the competition is such movies as "Problem Child", "Hero at Large" and "Stay Tuned", but "Skin Deep" is truly an achievement, a virtuoso performance by a man who is probably doomed to spend the rest of his days as a pratfalling, slapstick comedian. But here, he shines, bringing true feeling to his performance. You can feel the pain, humilation and defeat he suffers through the bright veneer of humor. This is the story of Zack Hutton, a talented writer who sinks into alcoholism and insecurity after he destroys his marriage by womanizing. It's the story of a man who hits rock bottom and redeems himself. For a goofy comedy, it's pretty poignant. The film is buoyed by amazing supporting performances by Vincent Gardenia as a wise bartender, Joel Brooks as best friend and attorney Jake and Dee Dee Rescher as jakes wife, Bernice. Invariably, people point to the scene "that glows in the dark" as a reason to watch this movie, but I think that famous scene is easilyt the silliest and most forgettable. Funnier scenes abound and, if you pay attention, the movie is peppered with clever, underplayed dialog. This is one of my favorite movies. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Summary: Please Don't Say You Like This Movie
Review: This is the definitive one-star movie. Major studio, proven director, interesting idea. Completely awful. I felt bored, used, and soiled watching this horrible film. See all Blake Edwards' films before this one. In fact, just watch "The Party" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and leave it at that. Life is too short.

Summary: Good enough
Review: This movie had some funny scenes. If you are into FBB's, you'll love the scene with Lonnie (Raye Hollit) roughly 25 minutes into the movie, where she flexes her muscluar body, then takes Zack (John Ritter) to bed. ...

Summary: Well, Raye Hollitt is beautiful
Review: This movie has been wildly overpraised here, in my opinion. What can't be overpraised is the physique of Raye Hollitt, who has a short, memorable scene as a female bodybuilder who gives John Ritter's character more than he bargained for. Her muscular body is breathtakingly beautiful, providing for one of the sexiest scenes in recent movie history. The rest of the movie I could do without. Merely OK.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This movie is great, funny and unpredictable.
Many movies were inspired by this one movie and copied from it.
It did not have the success it deserved.
John Ritter's best act.

Summary: I hate this movie...
Review: This movie is horrible.
It claims to be a comedy but I've never found it funny ever. Back in the late 80s or early 90s (I try not to remember) my mate Stuart forced me into lending the video off him. I watched it and it was an absolutely depressing experience! On the other hand, my mate Stuart loves this film (for some unknown reason) and has asked me to get it for him because he can't find it anywhere (ahhh - what a shame!) and so I'll probably get it for him because I'm nice like that, you see. Anyway, if you like this film then you should meet my mate Stuart as you'll probably get on well with him and you can talk about what is good about "Skin Deep" as I haven't a clue why people would like this film at all...

Summary: An Underrated Comedy
Review: This movie is very funny. At the same time, it has a very incisive statement regarding personal responsibility - in this case, alcoholism. I will never forget the "dueling condoms" scene, and there are several classic comedy bits that make this film one of the minor (at least) classics of film comedy. I laughed at the condom scene. I hurt myself laughing at the scene of John Ritter trying to escape with a novocaine-filled leg. I look forward to viewing it again, and often.
