Skin Deep

A successful but womanizing novelist, Adam, is celebrating the completion of his latest book. However, his estranged wife, Alexandra, is trying to take him to court for divorce. While trying to win her back and deal with her lawyer, Adam finds himself entangled with a series of women, leading to escalating chaos and comedic misunderstandings.

Skin Deep received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. While some praised Blake Edwards' signature comedic style and John Ritter's performance, others found the humor to be juvenile and the portrayal of relationships problematic. It was not a major box office success.

• John Ritter's performance is often cited as a highlight, bringing charm to a flawed character.

• The film's humor is considered by many to be dated and reliant on slapstick and sexual innuendo.

• Blake Edwards' direction is present, but lacks the sharpness of his earlier comedies.

Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be a passable comedy, with some appreciating the performances, particularly John Ritter's. However, many felt the humor was often crude and the plot predictable, leading to a less than satisfying viewing experience.

John Ritter's character, Adam Blake, is a novelist, and the book he is writing throughout the film is titled 'Skin Deep', mirroring the movie's title.
