Skin Deep Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
paulclaassen I'm not a big comedy fan but John Ritter is so fantastic, charming and likable that I couldn't help loving this sex comedy. I could watch it over and over just to see John Ritter. What a legend! He is naturally funny and apart from that, a really great actor. The film has great dialogue and a good cast in general, and I enjoyed the plot, as well. It was a nice touch to have the entire cast together for the finale. Really great film.
annschwartz-75244 I found the duel in the dark scene so hysterically funny that I laughed until I was in pain and had to close my eyes, put my head down, and get control of my breath. My companion was going, "Are you OK? Are you OK?" The scene mercifully changed, but you could still hear people laughing in the theater, including me.A later scene involving a yoga pose again had me going. Trying to buy the disk now.
Stephen Johnson Zach (ritter) has brought a wonderful yet dirty performance as a womanizer who just can't get enough from jumping out of relationships and also funny predicaments just as his house burning down, not knowing how he can get his life back in order which is simply stop drinking with all help by his AGENT, Pychiatrist, and his bartender as they guide him through life. Wirtten by the wonderful Blake Edwards. Unique film with a scene today classic that i can't even describe to you because you probably won't even get to read it it would be deleted immediately. Rent the video or buy it now even the DVD even though no special features buy it any way.Kevin
bluemond I loved this movie. the story was cheesy, but done well. the psychiatrist was hilarious. stockard channing was hilarious. there were glowing condoms for goodness sake. but most of all, John Ritter is phenomenal. The sequence after the shock therapy, is the funniest physical comedy scene I have ever seen on film.
