The movie "Skin Deep" is a 1989 American comedy-drama film directed by Blake Edwards and stars John Ritter as the lead role of Zach Hutton. The film follows the life of Zach, a successful novelist who is struggling to overcome his addiction to alcohol and cope with his failing personal relationships.
As the movie begins, Zach is shown to be a hard-drinking playboy who is having affairs with both his wife (who eventually leaves him) and his mistress (who also abandons him). He is unable to cope with their departures and, as a result, his life spirals out of control. Zach's work suffers due to his excessive drinking, resulting in a severe case of writer's block.
Despite experiencing a string of casual relationships and one-night stands, Zach's life continues to unravel. He frequently gets into drunken brawls, and his health begins to suffer as his alcoholism grows worse. As he struggles to cope with his addiction, Zach meets a bartender who helps him confront his demons and a therapist who helps him rediscover his writing voice.
The film explores the theme of self-discovery and redemption as Zach confronts his insecurities and comes to terms with his struggles. Despite the serious nature of the subject matter, the movie is also interspersed with humor, making it a well-rounded and highly entertaining film.
