Skin Deep (1989) (Ws Sub)

Amazon.com

In yet another of a long line of lame Blake Edwards's films in the 1980s, John Ritter stars as a compulsive womanizer trying to get his impulses under control as he seeks to reconcile with his ex-wife. But his gonads get the better of him every time, and they also get the better of the jokes here, which are distinctly few and far between. Indeed, the film has only one sure laugh, a rather tasteless scene involving a darkened room, glow-in-the-dark condoms, and two men, neither of whom realizes the other is there until the lights go out and they've stripped for action. --Marshall Fine

Skin Deep.......2007-08-29

My mother was looking everywhere for this movie, mainly because of the funny glow in the dark condom scene. This film is great, and John Ritter was funny (rest in peace John) I recommend this dvd to anyone who remembers John's comedy, or who enjoys a good laugh.

Comedy Classic..........2007-02-22

They just dont make em like this anymore... too many "polictically correct" lighthearts out there that complain when they think a movie is going to offend someone or something. Blake Edwards is a great director, and John Ritter was perfect for the part. I had been waiting for this movie to be released on DVD, as I remembered watching it when it first came out nearly 18 years ago.

Dragged in several places...........2006-09-12

Fell asleep while watching this movie, twice! It started out well enough, but then kept getting bogged down with all the scenes where he just talks to the bartender or to the shrink.

Never would have rented it except to see Robert Dowdell (VTTBOTS) in a bit part....

Skin Deep.......2006-02-23

Great old movie from my past. Language is a little harsh for some people, but very entertaining anyway. Will make you laugh. Not a movie for the kids.

Skin deep comedy.......2005-12-04

One of the finest films of Blake Edwards since Victor / Victoria. John Ritter ( splendid here ) incarnates a womanizer and alcoholic famous writer who is in a bad professional moment and still in love with his ex-wife in this sarcastic non-stylished battle-of-the-sexes comedy that combines brilliant sight-gags and clever dialogues and return to us the best Edwards ( A shot in the dark ; The party ; The Pink Panther strikes back ). An intelligent comedy conceived as it was the confessional visual diary of his protagonist, strategy that allows Edwards to integrate a collection of funny sketches that work autonomously inside a solid narrative structure.

Race relations, Plot twists & More.......2007-04-12

I saw this movie a few years ago on cable. I liked it so much I had to own it.

Really DUMB movie,but cool sex scene.......2007-03-05

I'm agreeing with the majority of reviews posted on this movie.It is a pretty terrible flick by any standards.Acting,plot;everything is bad.It's also fairly racist to both black and white people.It is one of those movies that is actually painful to watch.

The only reason that I bought it to begin with is because I like Debra Wilson and I wanted to see her sex scene.That was pretty hot in my opinion.It's the only reason why I still have the movie and the only reason why I gave it two stars.

If you're not into Debra Wilson,then I would suggest staying far away from this one.

I'VE SEEN WORSE...........2007-02-21

This film had a good story/plot, although at times the acting left lots to be desired. The situations were realistic, but too much emphasis was placed on serveral aspects and should have been toned down a bit.

Overall, I enjoyed this film and would recommend it to others.

Tanika is right on!!!.......2006-01-18

This could very well be the worse movie ever made. The writing is grade school at best and all the Black characters are over-sexed and mindless. The white character however, is the most rational one. Now there's a surprise. It's interesting how Black people have finally accepted decades upon decades of stereotypes and now regurgitate them for a buck. This movie makes 'Soul Plane' look like a masterpiece. Okay, maybe not, but just the same, bypass this film and read 'The Challenge of Blackness' by Lerone Bennett. There's a chapter in there entitled 'The Task of the Black Artist' that means just as much today as it did back then.

Low budget movie with a great story. Pushes your buttons on race, sex, relationships, marriages, and friendships. Grabs
you on the opening scene and never lets go.
