Skin Deep Reviews
Even when he's dealing with serious subjects, Edwards still can make an audience laugh with some of the best-timed sight gags in contemporary cinema.

Skin Deep is overall a letdown coming from this talented filmmaker.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 24, 2021
A few hilarious situations hardly compensate for this otherwise turgid meditation on middle-age woes.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2021
These women exist only to wear clothes and take them off. With clothes is better than without, since the communication of genuine sexual attraction isn't one of the movie's strong points.
| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 18, 2021
Ritter, with his unformed personality and hyper-child's face, looks as if he's been dipped in polyurethane and then lacquered with two coats.

Of course, having Ritter around helps. Eight seasons of television's Three's Company certainly perfected his slapstick style.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 18, 2021
John Ritter reminds us of just how strong a seriocomic actor he can be in this almost-sequel to Blake Edwards' "10."
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 18, 2021
"Skin Deep" has a couple of the funniest moments Edwards ever devised; it has John Ritter's easy-to-take charm, but it ends up living up to its title far too closely.

Although the title is descriptive and even self-critical, a more accurate label for this might be "Blake Edwards's Greatest Hits From Malibu."
| Jun 18, 2021
Considered as a whole, Skin Deep plays like a bad sequel to 10.
| Jun 18, 2021
This is not exactly sophisticated or cerebral humor. Nor is it romantic in the least.

Things might have worked better if Ritter's character didn't creep you out as such a snake-in-the-grass.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 5, 2017
...a decidedly familiar premise that's employed to middling effect by writer/director Blake Edwards...
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 11, 2014
It would take a tremendous performance to make such a vile character interesting, and a miscast John Ritter isn't up to the task.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 14, 2012

Probes the life of a compulsive womanizer.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2004
A very funny movie. I had almost given up hope on Edwards by this point.

A sex farce with more smarm than charm.
