Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
sreearihant The movie is about a booze cum sex addict, played by the late John Ritter, who has given up on what he loves most in the world - Hos loyal wife and his talent for writing. We are treated to numerous mis-adventures he has in the movie, which are quite realistic. Still, all that pales in comparison to Traffaut's delightful - The man who loved women.The ending,however, seals the deal. He has now given up alsohol, writtten a best seller and is back with his wife!. If this hopeless character can turn it around, anyone in the world can. People - Watch it not for thrills but for this!
jblatt A favorite of mine. John Ritter was amazing in the role. His comedic timing was great. He displayed the most genuine emotions in this film. Of course the condom scene is an absolute classic. As well as when he is leaving the clinic after the shock therapy performed by his ex. But my favorite scenes are near the end. When he is with his shrink and talks about wanting to kill himself. The pain and confusion he displays was worthy of an Oscar in my opinion. A brief, but wonderfully powerful scene.John Ritter was always a favorite of mine. He seemed like the sweetest man you would ever want to meet. From what I have read about him, that was consensus from those who knew and worked with him.I have always loved movies about redemption. And this is a great one.I bet John is in Heaven right now, making people smile.
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
cmperkin Skin Deep is a very funny film that many people have never heard of. One scene in particular, must be one of the most hilarious ever caught on film. While some of the social views have become dated, If the viewer remembers that the film was created in the late 80's, It is quite enjoyable. Upon John Ritter's untimely passing, I got it out and watched it all over again and was still entertained!
