Skin Deep (1989)

Director: Blake Edwards

Starring: John Ritter, Chelsea Field, Alyson Reed, Julianne Phillips

Zach Hutton is a womanizing, drunken, allelic writer whose life seems to be falling apart at the seams. He’s still in love with his ex-wife (whose family can’t stand him), writer’s block is keeping him from completing his latest novel, and he repeatedly finds himself in trouble of one sort or another with the law, ex-girlfriends, and jealous boyfriends.

I’m not a big comedy fan but John Ritter is so fantastic, charming and likable that I couldn’t help loving this sex comedy. I could watch it over and over just to see John Ritter. What a legend! He is naturally funny and apart from that, a really great actor. The film has great dialogue and a good cast in general, and I enjoyed the plot, as well. It was a nice touch to have the entire cast together for the finale. Really great film.
