Two rival ambulance companies battle to be the one that will remain in business when budget cuts strike the town. 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? Its not terrible, but then again its not terribly funny either. Everyone is drunk, stoned or sex crazed and the jokes sin out from there. 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. Guess what most of them didn't. In fairness I laughed a couple of times, but I didn't really enjoy myself. If you must see this wait for cable.

Wow!! 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 filmmakers take direct aim at just about every ethnic group, dysfunctional stereotype and race. No one is spared humiliation. The characters are an unknown bunch of new-comers, but I must admit they did a pretty nice job and several are really hilarious. The writing is okay - some of the lines are racy to say the least. 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. Just remember to relax and just enjoy this one. Overall - I give it a "recommend" to comedy fans. Cinema snobs beware.

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. Rich and his crew of goof offs are equally as funny during the city tours of Bayside. 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.

I took my son to see this. He loved it. It was a bit much for me, but I'm glad he enjoyed himself. It was neat giving my son the history lessons on what other films led up to this one. 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. Perhaps I'm out of the loop or just getting too old for the raunch factor. Either way it was a fun outing. A caution to other parents however strong language, nudity, gross out humor, and general distaste for decency.
