Review:
For me, it felt very much like the 1980's comedies of which when I was closer to my son's age just loved.
Titles that came to mind were Police Academy, Moving Violations, Stripes (Ox/John Candy being the Karl character, Rich being the Bill Murray character, the female love interest the nudity and raunchiness in general), Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds etc.If it was up to me I'd probably give the movie a six, but for my son's sake I gave it an 8.
A caution to other parents however strong language, nudity, gross out humor, and general distaste for decency..
This movie will definitely not be for everyone, but I found its lowbrow humor to be hilarious.
The characters were very well cast and, though unknown, really did a nice job.
The movie can be overly loud which was somewhat annoying, but the fact that the jokes and sketches come at you fast and furious more than made up for that.
The idea of competing EMT companies gives it just enough of a story line to tie all of the crazy antics together.
though the first 15 minutes was somewhat slow the movie picked up and was a lot of laughs.
If you want to see a movie that has just got a lot of slap stick humor and puts a smile on your face then go see this one.You can't help but laugh with Neal and Bob .
filmed in San Diego about two EMT groups that will do anything and I mean anything to under cut the other out of business.
I was impressed with all of the actors and felt the casting job for the people who played in this film was perfect.I would highly recommend this comedy to anyone who need some humor in their lives.
Shocking, lurid, raunchy & REALLY FUNNY !!.
I just caught the late night screening of Skid Marks, and I can tell you this film is like a slap in the face to all that is politically correct and sacred.
The characters are an unknown bunch of new-comers, but I must admit they did a pretty nice job and several are really hilarious.
I would imagine that EMT's and Paramedics should love this movie, assuming they're not easily offended.But not to pull any punches here.
Make no mistake, this movie is raunchy, lurid, gross, shocking and will likely offend you at least once, if not more.
It's only redeeming quality -- it's REALLY FUNNY at times.
I mean the audience laughed louder at times, than the audience I sat with for Superbad.
So, if you like crazy, outrageous, over-the-top comedies -- this film is for you.
Overall - I give it a "recommend" to comedy fans.
A Little Gross yet Hilarious.
Skid Marks is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach or for those with dainty ears, eyes and mouths!
It is what it is, a BALS out comedy with a lot of DIC references !
The movie is chocked full of hilarious skit after skit about 2 ambulance companies trying to sabotage each other.
It is a movie that you will either Love or hate, depending on how perverted your sense of humor is!
Guaranteed to laugh and be entertained either way .....
Skid Marks is super good.
The movie is a fast paced ride to hilarious laughter!!
The laughs never come to a skidding stop.
The ambulance crews are great at the outrageous and subtle humor the script is providing.
Skid Marks is a must see movie for every person who wants to drown their everyday problems in laughter!!
Neil and Bob are two soft core ambulance medics that bring you to laughter at every turn.
You will forever remember Neil and Bob's bathroom scene in their joint effort to "come" together.
The patient transfers and tank exchanges are also scenes with laugh out loud humor..
pretty darn funny.
I like these kind of movies.
Crude humor and pretty girls.
Probably would not take my grandmother or pastor to see it but it kind of reminds me of my old college days.
Great acting with some of the EMT guys.
A lot of laugh out loud scenes.
The length of the movie was just about right.
This has the potential to generate a cult falling which could also lend itself to possible sequels like Police Academy..
This is a really funny and well made comedy intended for a younger audience.
There were lots of laughs throughout, and I almost fell out of my seat on a few occasions.My only real criticize is that the plot got mixed up a few times.
The basic camera work was good but not excellent for the actions scenes.
I particularly liked the great looking girls in the beach scenes, but would have preferred a little more skin.A couple of the actors and actresses tended to overact at times.
Some of the lines were a little gross at times, but did not really take away from the particular scene.
Skid Marks captures the spirit of competition!.
The basic plot of this movie is two competing ambulance companies attempting to embarrass each other.
It's been my experience that EMS'ers within the SAME agency do a better job of harassing, embarrassing, terrorizing, undermining and ridiculing each other than folks from the "other outfit." This movie is funny.
Lots of gross, squeamish scenes.
In other words, just like a normal day at work (okay, maybe a REALLY fun day at work) The actors look like they had heaps of fun making this movie, and that was pretty contagious.
It is the current generation's "Mother, Jugs and Speed." At an east coast EMS service we would pull many of the same stunts documented in the film on our best friends.
Throughout the film, I would enjoy flashbacks: "Hey, Mambo did that!" "We called that a Garcia special," "take away the dwarf and it's the same as a Sludge Slam" and "Spanky invented that, but he'd wear a rubber bodysuit." Now that I am in San Diego, I loved seeing some of our beautiful city featured in the movie.
Wait, what does that say for me?
If you are in E.M.S. you will like this movie.
If you are thinking about a career in E.M.S. you will be scarred by this movie.
This movie kicked butt.
This movie kicked butt.
It reminded me a lot of the classic comedic films that I grew up watching as a kid.
It is like a Police Academy, Animal House hybrid for the new millennium, but better.
Just about every single character in the movie was funny and memorable.
Especially the Neil and Bob characters.
I felt like these guys should be on Saturday Night Live or something.
They were definitely my favorite part of the movie.
Skidmarks has been diagnosed as funny, gross and a little bit stupid at times!
It provides non stop entertainment from a group of zany Emergency Medical Tech characters.
The outrageous situations that the EMT's get themselves into and out of keeps the audience laughing out loud throughout many scenes.
If you like physical humor and wonderful comedic chemistry, then you will really enjoy the interplay between Neil and Bob of the Downtown Intensive Care Unit.
I have seen Superbad and the 2 cops in that movie don't hold a candle to the comedy that Neil and Bob bring to the screen..
Add "Skid Marks" to your list of guilty pleasures!
I'm not necessarily a snob, but this is not the kind of movie I generally go out of my way to see.
No, there is no redeeming social value to be found in "Skid Marks".
No, there is no possibility of intellectual stimulation (although sexual stimulation seems to run a bit rampant - ha!) No, you won't be debating the plot points over a serious cup of coffee and dessert after the movie.
But you will laugh your ass off watching these guys run around like a "puppy on crack"!
Good laughs!.
If you want to laugh, I suggest you go see this movie.
The bathroom scenes are unforgettable and turn it into a classic comedy that you can watch again and again .
You laugh just as hard every time.
It is the kind of movie you start laughing out loud, get a little embarrassed and then realize everyone else is just as loud so it doesn't matter.
It was perfect for my date as he is the typical guy who likes boobs, pushing-the-edge comedy, and more boobs.
I rate this film a 9 with all the physical comedy and newcomers..
A non-Stop laugh....
I came into "SKID MARKS" not really knowing what to expect, but I couldn't stop laughing.
The writing and acting in this film is HILARIOUS!
"Neil" is by far the funniest of the film....totally steals the show from everyone!I will def.
see this again, but I wouldn't recommend bringing your parents or children to it.Another refreshing thing about this film is that all the actors are "unknown"...however after seeing this movie I know they won't be for long.
Usually you go to the movies to be entertained, but Skid Marks delivers more and a few moments where you are looking through your fingers....ya wanna see, but know you shouldn't!!
Whoever says this movie is for the 17-20 year old audience has aged too quickly.
The laughs are real and hit you in the face with no regard to being "politically correct".
Great cast and I loved the pace!A few of my buddies and I are going to hit the town this weekend and I'm going to suggest we start the night with Skid Marks.
This movie truly seemed as if it were written by a pair of stoned fourteen year olds that just discovered softcore porn and boobs.
Nothing but crude and unfunny dirty jokes, sexually repressed writing and bad characters.
The lead in this movie may just be the most unlikable character in recent comedy history.
Disgusting film with a ridiculous plot, pitiful and childish writing followed by terrible performances from actors portraying annoying characters.
The concept of this movie is weak, the bad guys are boring, very unfunny - the good guys totally lack any charisma, and their pranks and jokes are very week to make this movie valuable.
The movie is just a sandwich without anything saucy in it.
Scenes are busy, unoriginal, plot is hysterically stupid.
This movie is anything but even remotely funny comedy.
The natural chemistry in "the good guy-good girl" is misisng here, too it doesn't come out of the concept, the main character in my opinion failed in fitting into positive role, somebody viewer could be interested in or laugh at.
I normally like easy and dull comedies - for example scary movie series - but this failed even for me.
This was below any college movie where bunch of nerdy guys want to get laid.
You know, I wonder sometimes how stupid a film promoter can be....Every review but one here is by a person extolling the different virtues of the film in PR speak, and bad PR speak at that.If you want to shill a movie, then at least have the decency to credit the members here with some degree of intelligence.3 pages of PR, all obviously written by the same amateur promoter does NOT entice anyone to watch what is basically a single fart gag retold in 10 different ways.I rest my case.
I watched the first screening, I thought the sound quality needed a bit of work but I got a good amount of laughs.
I liked it better than some BIGGER named movies that have looked way more expensive from trailer to opening.
Skid Marks is "spring break" type of movie attraction for young college audiences who need a toke of natural high!
Neil and Bob were hilarious!
The story line could've been a bit more polished but over all there were some good laughs.
I wouldn't watch it with my mom and dad, but i think it makes a good movie to see with your friends if you want a good comedy.
It would make a good blockbuster night with 'the guys'.
If you need a good laugh this movie is for you..
This is a great comedy.
There are comical scenes throughout the entire movie.
It has laugh out loud jokes and an original storyline.
If you liked Super Troopers then check out this movie.Guys, this movie is particularly geared for your enjoyment but girls if you accompany your man to this film you won't be disappointed either, you will probably even catch yourself laughing along as well.
There are definitely some lines that I kept laughing about once I left the theater.
Also, check out the PSA's on You Tube, those are pretty funny as well.
Skid Marks will go down as the Revenge of the Nerds or Animal House for this generation.
I'm sure some critics will get on here and attempt to rip on this film, but the people in the theater were laughing their asses off.
I haven't heard, or laughed for that matter, like this since Bad Santa.
For a small budget indie comedy, you'll get your money's worth with this film.
David Leo Shultz plays the character of Neil, and there is no doubt this kid is talented and going to make it big as a comedic actor.
If you liked Super Troopers, Superbad, or Bad Santa - you'll like Skid Marks.
Skidmarks is one of those movies where you go in with low expectations and leave with a big smile on your face.
What a funny movie.
The story revolves around competing EMT companies and how they try to sabotage one another.
The characters are all unique and, while the actors are all unknowns, I bet we will be seeing a lot more of them in future comedies.
The movie was filmed in and around San Diego so the scenery is gorgeous and the film and sound quality is great.
At least every reviewer or comment posted that raved about this movie, in which I bothered to click on, has only one single post on IMDb. Yep, you guessed it, the only review or comment made is in reference to this pile of donkey cum.
I do like all kinds of movies, including the genre that this UNFUNNY bowl of desperation soup falls into.
You will probably hit the eject button after the 10 minute mark.
There is nothing more painful than an unfunny comedy, and Skid Marks is a perfect example.
Unlike a terrible horror or drama, where at least some enjoyment can be gotten out of unintentional humor, a god-awful comedy is just ....humorless.
If your main reason for watching it (as was mine) is to see San Diego locations, forget it, because in the 45 minutes I lasted before walking out, I saw none (and I never walk out of movies).
I viewed a lot of bad movies during my time as a video store clerk, but this one may just be the worst (and at least those I hadn't paid for)..
The Most Offensive Movie This Year...
If you're easily offended, this movie'll shock the hell outta you.
They make fun of the handicapped, different races, overweight people, little people, people with speech impediments, there's even a certain dog/peanut butter scene if you know what I mean.
It's sort of like South Park and Family Guy, but I think what makes it most offensive is that it is not a cartoon.
I am not sure why there were old ladies in the audience for this one, but I thought they were going to fall right out of their chairs (specially since the movie made fun of them).Did they go too far?
I did have a lot of laughs though so I guess they accomplished their goal.
I think this is one of those movies that people will either really love or really hate.
Tread lightly, this movie isn't for everyone..
Its a low rent, low brow version of the Bill Cosby film Mother Juggs and Speed which had a similar plot line.
What can I say about this film?
There are jokes about the companies not wanting to pick anyone up, they pass accident scenes.
Its a collection of half thought out jokes that the writers and director must have thought were going to work once they edited the film.
In fairness I laughed a couple of times, but I didn't really enjoy myself.
If you must see this wait for cable..
I literally fell on my face laughing at this movie.
Skid Marks is an unbelievably hilarious comedy about dueling EMT's.
Right off the bat, they show the EMT companies are dic and bals.
So, right off the bat, this is a hilarious film.
Along with their friends and assistants, these two companies battle it out in hilariously raunchy and nasty pranks.
Skid Marks is at times guaranteed to disgust everyone who's ever been disgusted, but unlike some of the disgusting comedies of the past couple of years, you'll still be running out of breath from cracking up too much even when it is extremely disgusting.
The cast features a load of young, unknown actors, and they are quite good here.
It's a fun, fast paced film that's more than worth it.
I wasn't expecting much, but it seemed like my type of movie, so I wasn't expecting to hate it or anything, and I was more than pleasantly surprised- I ended up absolutely loving this film.
It's a movie with a couple of laughs per second.
It's one of the funniest films I've seen in years, even if it is filled with just plain mindless pranks, I still couldn't stop cracking up at every second.
I definitely recommend this to anyone with a sense of humor who is able to be grossed out a little.
