Skin Deep | Year: 1989 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Blake Edwards Actors/Actresses: - Vincent Gardenia - John Ritter One of the Best 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! A very funny film, with a message John Ritter is certainly under-rated and under-appreciated. As a physical comedy actor he has few peers. His timing, honed on TV's 'Three's Company,' is spot on. But NOTHING will prepare you for the scene in the middle which is shot entirely in the dark. Even if you've had a hint of it from other people, ignore them and laugh your head off. One of the funniest in any movie, ever. Several other scenes and lines are pretty funny, too, like Zack trying to walk and drive after getting a shot from his dentist. Nobody does it better than Ritter. The film has a message, of sorts, about taking personal responsibility and growing up. The way Blake Edwards tells it, that's not as much fun as it might seem. Still this does not validate the hedonistic lifestyle, and Zack gets his comeuppance in the end. Whether you're a fan of John Ritter or not, see this film. Not a great movie, but better than most of those you'll rent and forget as soon as the credits roll. Put the kiddies to bed, dim the lights, bring your bowl of popcorn, and don't let anyone interrupt the scene in the dark. You can clean up the spilled popcorn later... Skindeep with late John Ritter a great classic John Ritter stars as Zach who is a womanizing writer/piano player, who has just been caught cheating by his 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 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 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, 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 Very funny movie to watch.
