Summary: Niether funny enough nor serious enough to really work
Review: "Skin Deep" is a Blake Edwards black comedy that fails to be dark enough or funny enough to be worth the effort. The most famous scene, which gave the film its infamous tagline as "The comedy that glows in the dark," is at odds with the rest of the film, which only proves that in the final analysis this is not really a comedy. John Ritter plays Zach Hudson whose problems with writer's block become next to nothing when his wife comes home to find that his mistress is holding a gun on him because she caught him with her hairdresser. Zach drinks, but it is clearly more his incessant womanizing that is his biggest problem. If you think about it realistically Zach is in a desperate straights, but the film does not play out as such. It sketches his dire circumstances more than anything else. Zach is really a pathetic figure, but Edwards does not allow the character to play out that way, so there is no lesson to be learned here. Zach thinks he can joke his way out of any situation, especially if he has enough to drink, but even so he is never that funny or that tragic. There is just something missing here that stops the film from clicking and I do not think the easy answer that this is recycled Blake Edwards holds up in the final analysis. At face value there should be some funny bits here, especially as Zach makes his way through a gauntlet of women, such as a body builder, that should inspire some comic moments. But even the glow in the dark scene falls flat because it does not get beyond the simple sight gag (same thing for the dog on the ceiling shot). The funniest scene is pure physical comedy by Ritter after one his former paramours (Julianne Phillips) puts him through a complimentary herbal wrap and electro stimulation session. In his heart of hearts Zach still loves his wife, Alex (Alyson Reed), but I get the feeling this is simply because that is what the wandering husbands in Blake Edwards movies do, amply proven by Dudley Moore in both "10" and "Micki & Maude." Zach's alcoholism is also just there; not comic enough to be funny and not painful enough to illicit any other response, especially when sobriety is just one gag from God away. In the end, Edwards tries to have it both ways and only succeeds in canceling everything out so there is really nothing left at the end of this film except a sense of sadness.

Summary: For Diana only...
Review: A mediocre, unfunny and old-fashionned moovie. The only reason why I give it 2 stars are the scenes featuring DIANA BARTON. She totally lights up the film with her unique and sensual ways. Diana is without a doubt one of the most beautiful actress in the world. Watch "Skin Deep" for her!

Summary: Entertaining and Enlighting
Review: A truly hilarious and sad look at the real word of alcoholism. The scenes could have been written from the stories told at AA meetings. The stories alcoholics tell are hilarious, but the problems they create are devastating. I laughed and cried at the mistakes, mishaps, and self sabatoge. I thought John Ritter was excellent. This should become a cult film comedy classic, but it only appeals to people who have "been there, done that."

Summary: Why not DVD?
Review: Classic Blake Edwards, people who worry about everything but money. I love watching the wealthy struggling through the mid-life. Put this thing on DVD somebody.

Summary: Fantastic .........and ........Funny
Review: First I want to say that I was never a fan of Threes Company. I never watched the show, oh maybe once or twice to see what the hoopla was all about back then. Then I saw this movie and I felt that John Ritter was one of the funniest men alive. I thought the movie worked from the beginning to the end with his character being the greatest drunk since ARTHUR.
It is sad that we have lost Mr. Ritter but I hope many more people will enjoy this movie.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: First off -- I am writing this the day after the passing of John Ritter. Ritter was one of the best physical comedians. He wow'd us with his antics and sweet heart for many years on 3's Company. John -- thanks for all the great laughs. Now on to the review of this movie. To this day, this is one of my favorite movies even though I've only seen it 3 times (I'm purchasing the DVD today). Yes, the condom scene is one of the funniest scenes in movie history -- but I prefer another funny scene. John's character follows a woman into a upscale "physical therapy" office and is then tortured with muscle stimulators by a scorned former lover. When Zack comes out of the office he is twitching so badly he can hardly walk. This is classic John Ritter physicality. I laffed so hard the last time I watched that I almost couldn't breathe any more. Also, while very funny, this movie follows a man who is trying desparately to repair his life and at every turn keeps failing. At one point, in his physcharist's office, his cry for help is so real-looking that it made me cry. So, again, John, thanks for the many years of laughter. You will be missed!

Summary: Chuckles Galore!
Review: Funniest film in ages. Laugh-a-minute spoof on a famous pianist with a wandering eye.

Summary: It IS very funny!
Review: I can just agree with the reviews printed so far: this movie is one of the funniest (if not "the funniest") I have ever seen. Whenever I have a chance to see the movie again I do so. My favourite scene is when Zach comes to the party dressed up in a Sindbad-costume and then his friend appears with his wife and when she finally sees him: .... Waaaa - ha ha ha ... :)

Summary: HILARIOUS - Pure John Ritter
Review: I have seen this movie at least 100 times and I still die laughing everytime I see it. John Ritter is so funny. I had to search a long time several years ago to find this movie on VHS to buy and now I'm getting it on DVD. For anyone who needs a good laugh - I mean a can't breathe, eyes watering, stomach hurting laugh fest - THIS IS THE MOVIE TO SEE!! I am in the floor laughing. It is comedy that you don't have to think about. It is just hilarious.
