Skin Deep poster & wallpaper

Alyson Reed, Bryan Genesse, Chelsea Field

In yet another of a long line of lame Blake Edwards's films in the 1980s, John Ritter stars as a compulsive womanizer trying to get his impulses under control as he seeks to reconcile with his ex-wife...( read more  read more... ). But his gonads get the better of him every time, and they also get the better of the jokes here, which are distinctly few and far between.

    This is a okay comedy. John Ritter is funny in this. My favorite scene is with the glow in the dark condom.

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.

    I am trying really hard to see this kind of movie and understand why people like it so much. I just don't get it.
