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
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.

I hate this movie...
This movie is horrible.
It claims to be a comedy but I've never found it funny ever. Back in the late 80s or early 90s (I try not to remember) my mate Stuart forced me into lending the video off him. I watched it and it was an absolutely depressing experience!

On the other hand, my mate Stuart loves this film (for some unknown reason) and has asked me to get it for him because he can't find it anywhere (ahhh - what a shame!) and so I'll probably get it for him because I'm nice like that, you see.

Anyway, if you like this film then you should meet my mate Stuart as you'll probably get on well with him and you can talk about what is good about "Skin Deep" as I haven't a clue why people would like this film at all...

John Ritter loves women too much. Those glowing condoms.
I've seen this funny Blake Edwards film before. I saw it again recently on television and boy did they edit so much of it. Shortly afterwards, we all got the shocking news that John Ritter unexpectedly died. Interesting time to show this film, er ah, I mean ironic. John Ritter and his work was making a comeback. On television they were showing, The Waltons, Three's Company and the unforgetable film, The Other (1972) in which John Ritter played the role of "Rider". John Ritter had a new tv series called "8 Simple Rules...". It became a hit. While rehearsing the fourth episode of the new season, John became ill and collapsed. Rushed to the hospital. He died during emergency surgery. It was his heart. In artery was leaking blood, a condition that can not be caught in x-rays. A condition John Ritter did not know he had. The whole nation took pause at the passing of John Ritter on September 11, 2003. This 1989 film stars John Ritter as a man going through mid-life crisis. His woman (Denise Crosby, "Star Trek: The Next Generation")catches him with another women first in the kitchen and then in the bedroom. This time she is holding a gun right at him. He sees a psychiatrist to find out what his problem is. He loves women too much, but has such bad luck. THIS MOVIE IS FOR ADULTS ONLY! There are several scenes with John Ritter is wearing a glow-in-the-dark condom. These particular scenes and all nudity are cut out of television prints. This film is brilliantly written and directed by Blake Edwards (husband of Julie Andrews). It is a comedy (like "10" with Dudley Moore and Bo Derek), but it is also serious too. Some good dramatic acting by John Ritter. Cast includes Vincent gardenia, Alyson Reed, Joel Brooks, Dee Dee Rescher and Sherl Lee Ralph. Nice tune by Ivan neville, "Falling Out Of Love". Don Grady (My Three Sons) provided additional music for the movie. ... Read more

softest-soft-core if that's possible
the only thing that i liked about this film is the scene between the two women from the middle east behind the curtain that the Sheik ripped apart. a good 20-25 seconds of pure lesbian lust...before the camera pans back to the Sheik again! i have the tape at that spot at all times and i watch and re-watch it over and over...other than that i'm appalled at how mainstream the film tries to be. for me, part of the Emmanuelle success was showcasing a woman with a sexual appetite no matter who it was from: man or woman. yet, with the Emmanuelles that followed in Kristel's footsteps, somewhere along the way the series became nothing but a sophomoric, naughty movie one might expect to find late at night on the USA Network back in the early '90s with Gilbert Gotfreid with zero titilation and sexual overtones...but heavy on bikini clad bimbos. Laura Gemser has been the ONLY other woman to successfully play this role...and her films are MORE explicit than Kristel's. Emmanuelle 5 came along in 1987 as just another skin flick...showing hardly any skin except the scene i watch over and over. the mood for me is always interrupted by the so-called 'hero' of the film who's trying to break Emmanuelle out of the Sheik's harem! if it were me, i'd re-record the lesbian scene on a blank tape and throw Emmanuelle 5 out the window.

Those Were the Days...
Hey, there. Remember those days of hormone-ridden adolescence when you snuck into the TV room in the middle of the night while the 'rents were asleep, and switched the cable box on to your fave premium channel in the hopes of seein' a few nudies and (hopefully) some other less-than-pure visuals? You probably had your special video tape ready to record those precious moments for future reference too, didn't ya? Boy, those were some fun times, weren't they? I know they were for me...

Emmanuelle 5 © was a particularly memorable naughty flick for me. The star, Monique Gabrielle, shows just about all she can-- in skin, that is, not acting ability-- as she cavorts through parts of mainland Europe and the Middle East in this little flesh-fest, and having her way with a few nerdy-yet-hunky guys (I've got the 'nerdy' part down, myself). Hey, you didn't think people watched this stuff for the Oscar-worthy performances, did'ja? Let's face it, the reason this baby was made is pretty plain: to grab the attention of the socially-inept heterosexual male demographic! Yep, it's all about the marketing, which I fell for just like that! I feel so dirty now...

Oh yeah, there's some silly excuse of a plot about a Middle Eastern Sheik who tries to make Emanuelle a prized addition to his harem, but that's neither here nor there...

Emanuelle the best of its kind
I can not say enough great things about this film. It's the best that I have ever seen in the movie theater or on VHS. Its got something for everyone, a great plot and believable characters. There is only one word of warning that I must say about this film, if you mind a bit of skin in your movies or are showing the film to your kids I would skip this one.

not enough sex- and I am a woman!
The Emanualle series is unique in that it is sensual and sexual. It reaches the ladies in the audience WITHOUT being offensive!

This one seemed far too concerned with the safe sex concerns of the actors. It was Emanuelle- almost- reimbraces- secondary viginity.

Of the ones I have seen in this series, this one is the worst. I suggest you try Emanuelle 1 or 2! Enjoy!!

sensual masterpiece
the exotic locales and beautiful women accent the storyline. particularly impressive is the use of camera angles. for an erotic movie that actually has a plot, be sure to check this one out. ... Read more

A loser from the start !
When they say that some movies get better as they go along they didn't mean this one. It is the worst movie I have seen in years. The acting is bad, the plot is bad and it does not get better as you go along. It is a very predictable movie so you will know what is going to happen before it happens almost every time. Not a movie to waist your time on.

The Best Bad Movie Ever
I have a hobby of watching bad movies with my friends. We even have a website where we put our reviews up them up now. This was the original movie that got us started on the genre of B Movies.

This movie has everything: actors who have the talent of a high school play, bad 80's special effects, a drunken vicar, strip club scenes thrown in for no plot development ((just thrown in to try to keep the male audience interested)), ERIC ESTRADA! , and a mini van of death! This movie is great for a good laugh so get it, gather a bunch of friends together, and have a good evening laughing away! ... Read more
