Skid Marks (2007)

Why so much hype?

So much average

Purely Joyful Movie!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This movie truly seemed as if it were written by a pair of stoned fourteen year olds that just discovered softcore porn and boobs. To say that the humor was sophomoric is an understatement. There is no sign of intelligent life here; not that one would expect any. Yet slapstick humor serves a purpose and this title just falls short in every category. 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. Somehow stalker tendencies turn into sweet nothings whispered into the ears of fourteen year old perverts in the middle of the most disturbing nocturnal emissions. Disgusting film with a ridiculous plot, pitiful and childish writing followed by terrible performances from actors portraying annoying characters. If you have any semblance of a brain, you'll do some good and stay the hell away from this garbage.

I am a paramedic and have been in EMS for over 25-years. 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. Lots of flesh, but distinctly NOT gross flesh. Lots of colorful language. 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. Hopefully "Bay City" has a more secure pension system. I actually worked in the ambulance that the producers purchased to be the D.I.C. vehicle. 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. Have fun!

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. It was nice to see actors other than your typical Hollywood teen-stars in it!

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 also liked the sound track music.. 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. There was too much slapstick in scenes inside the vehicles. Mikey stole the show.
