I remember seeing John Ritter on Three's Company when I was a kid. I immediately found him funny. Again, here is a comedian who left us too soon. This movie (Skin Deep) is hilarious and I recommend it to anyone. You won't regret watching this. It is a really funny movie. R.I.P John Ritter.

- Reviewed in Canada on September 20, 2003The now-deceased John Ritter is Zachary Hutton,a bearded writer whose passions are booze and beautiful females. First,Hutton's wife Alexandra(or Alex) returns home from a cancelled flight. She finds a jealous female about to fatally shoot Hutton after she(the jealous female) catches him in bed with his female barber. This is where the Huttons' divorce begins. Hutton goes for advice from his bartender buddy Barney(the late Vincent Gardenia,famous for his role of Frank Lorenzo on "All In The Family"). Angry Alex throws Zachary's typewriter out the window and into the swimming pool. Zachary wanted to remain married to Alex so he sought psychiatric help. He started by cutting down on his drinking and eventually cold turkey,quit. Zach found a new girlfriend Molly(Julianne Phillips) and they lived together. She became so angry with him at one point in the film that she set his piano afire while he was playing it!(Zach plays the piano also) The house and Zach's Mercedes both burned down in that fire. He also meets musclebound Loni Jones(she looks like Patrick Swayze!) at Barney's bar where he was playing the piano. They sleep together that night and when Zach awakes the next morning,he does aerobics in her class in his underwear! Next,there the death of his buddy Leon "Sparky" Sparks. Zach attends his funeral with another buddy Jake(Joel Brooks). Alex was at the funeral and she invited Jake over for dinner at her house. Although Zach wasn't invited,he showed up. So at the dinner Zach and Alex chat and Zach says how awful he's felt since their separation. Zach attends a black tie affair at the Century Plaza hotel dressed as a genie! He thought it was a Halloween party. Many of the guests laughed at him,even Jake. Jake nearly went to the affair as a cowboy! Then Zach finds out that Alex has another man who she plans to marry and almost did until Zach crashed the wedding. Alex's mother Marge always has hated Zach because of his behavior. So more therapy sessions follow,and Zach did more cutting down on his boozing and womanizing. By Christmas,Zach is no longer boozing and womanizing. He wrote a book which sold big and there was a party at Barney's in his honor. He and Alex have reconciled and drank lemon-lime soda instead of gin and tonic. Marge still hates Zach. She was being sarcastic when she said she was proud of Zach. But everyone else who hated him,loved him again. So Alex and Zach are in bed together in the last scene and she persuaded him to get rid of the glow-in-the dark condom which was first seen in an earlier bed escapade. I dedicate this film to the memory of John Ritter who passed away at age 54 on September 11,2003 of a heart disorder. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,always.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2004John Ritter stars as Zach who is a womanizing writer/piano player, who has just been caught cheating by his
girlfriend Angela Smith (Denise Crosby from Star Trek the Next Generation who played
Tasha Yar).
What's funny about this is that Zach has a history of womanizing and cheating, in which he has fullfilled the fantasies of every woman he meets, yet he finds himself alone and without someone he can really say he loves, with
the exception of his ex wife.
A bit phased by this Zach continues his lifestyle until he realizes, it is perhaps his ways with women that has resulted in his short relationships. He goes to his friend Barney the bartender (Vincent Gardiana who is best known for
playing the police investigator on the heels of the vigilante killer, Charles Bronson in Death Wish) who gives him
a couple of tips, but none of which help much.
The movie is funny because we see the character of Zach going from one mishap to another like Jack Tripper's character in Three's Company (which Ritter played). In one funny scene,
Zach dates a bodybuilding woman who in his
words leaves his private parts "scared stiff". LOL
Then in one of the more funny scenes, Zach and his female character get caught in the dark by the female's boyfriend, since both of them are wearing glow in the dark condoms!!! It's as funny as it sounds. Blake Edwards who has been making great comedy films for over 20 years, from early hits like
"10", to more modern hits like "Blind Date" and "Skindeep" , has shown that he still has the romantic, comedic
touch.
Very funny movie to watch.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2002I originally saw this movie "Skin Deep" in 1989 when it first played in movie theatres! I own the laserdisc, which has the full screen ratio and in mono, while I am leaning towards purchasing the DVD, which consists of the letterbox (widescreen: 2.35:1 ratio, which I prefer) and is in stereo, and has Spanish subtitles. This is one of Blake Edward's best, alongside his other movie "10", which happens to be in the same genre. I laughed so much, and I believe you will too. If you don't laugh, especially during the glow-in-the-dark condom scene, you are either a hard-right religious person, or you have no sense of humor and have no funnybone! John Riiter is one of our best comic actors around! (I won't go into the synopsis of the film; you can read that above, but... coincidence? The character's name in the film is Zack, and the character's name on "Three's Company" is Jack! And both characters are almost the same, same type: like to act like "boys", and just have "fun", and love to chase women! Hmmmmm! The other reason why I loved this film: the character of Zack is (and the character of Jack on "3's Company" is) like me! (See above regarding their characters, which resemble me). EXCEPT I don't drink like Zach; I drink only to socialize. This movie is VERY FUNNY! I say it is EXCELLENT! But I will guarantee you will definitely say it is good or very good! If you loved "10", you should love this too! Rent it, or even better yet, BUY it! You won't be disappointed! Thank you! -Paul

5.0 out of 5 stars Skin Deep
Verified PurchaseI was very pleased to have found this video as a friend has been looking for it for quite a considerable time. I ordered it and it arrived very quickly. My friend had his 70th birthday last month and was amazed that I had managed to locate it,being an old film. The only downside was that it took some time to adjust the tracking but we managed the adjustment so that only the initial titles were fuzzy

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funnest and most endearing of films of all time
Verified PurchaseI am not the world's most knowledgable of film buffs. I own a couple hundred DVD's but most of those are lesser known films. I am particularly disinterested in most of the popular action or shock humor type of films that dominate the movie landscape of today.
I remember the previews of this movie as discussed in newspapers and morning news shows due to the then shocking "glows in the dark" scene and that the beloved John Ritter was starring in the lead role.
Several years later did I come across this movie and was immediately hooked.
The movie is a wonderfully insightful story of a writer whose insecurities overcome his previously displayed writing prowess. The tragedy of writers block is overcompensated by alcohol and sex, which nearly destroys the very endearing character as played brilliantly by John Ritter. The movie is heart-warming yet hillarious. The twists and turns play out in a very well-paced and (mostly) logical format resulting in the climactic (pun intended) collapse of the lead that results in the search of self which ends in a sweet and still funny happy ending.
Bravo to John Ritter for a movie that could not have been made with any other actor playing the lead. His combination of sincerity, naivete, sexuality and charm could only be matched by Michael J. Fox, yet such an actor would never have the sex appeal as Mr. Ritter. Anyone seeking an extension of THREES COMPANY would be sorely disappointed (in my opinion) as the acting is vastly more mature and sophisticated than at any time in the popular comedy show. John Ritter seems truly lost in his lack of introspection and his genuine effort to find his meaning of life.
Truly a magical movie that deserves far more credit and recognition within the pantheon of great movies.
This movie is much deeper than its skin... I cannot recommend more highly.
John

Verified PurchaseJe recherchais ce film très amusant en dvd depuis longtemps et c'est avec plaisir que le l'ai revu. Il y a seulement les sous-titres en français mais cela n'a vraiment aucune importance puisque les films sont toujours meilleurs dans leur langue originale.
