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. If anyone considers watching this junk then they deserve everything they get Including me. :) Cheers, Will

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.
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. They stop at nothing to gain an advantage and nobody, nor any of their body parts are spared, particularly the groin area! It is a movie that you will either Love or hate, depending on how perverted your sense of humor is! I happened to Love It! Super Troopers and Van Wilder fans need apply, others should be wary! Guaranteed to laugh and be entertained either way ....
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've seen first 60 minutes of this movie and it was the longest movie hour ever. 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. I am greatly disappointed in this title. My recommendation would be to avoid this one.

- TriviaFilmed entirely in San Diego, California using two ambulances from a defunct private ambulance company (Star Ambulance). The red "DIC" ambulance is painted with the scheme for Rural/Metro ambulances (San Diego City's contracted 911 service), while the blue "BALS" ambulance maintains the color scheme of Star Ambulance. Throughout the movie it can be seen that the interior door jambs of the red "DIC" ambulance are in fact the same blue color as the "BALS" unit.
