Private Parts (DVD) ... notorious Howard Stern, self-proclaimed "king of all media", into a nerdish but appealing media rebel who loves his wife and family. Even if you hate Stern's rude radio show, you may discover that the underdog charm of this warm, whimsical film (based on Stern's autobiography) turns you into a fan--for the length of the film at least. Stern delivers a winning performance as the clumsy college kid and aspiring disc-jockey-turned-demon-shock-jock, who becomes an unlikely hero as he battles station managers, network executives and conservative "arbiters of decency" in the name of unfettered bad taste. Mary McCormack is fine as his understanding wife, Alison, and long-time Stern sidekicks Robin Quivers and Fred Norris acquit themselves nicely appearing as themselves. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Stern's irreverent attitude comes across so well that one can't help but appreciate his purposeful attacks against those who try to silence or manipulate him.

Private Parts (DVD): A Throw-Away film of the Greatest Type (208 words)

Rating:

Private Parts is something of a documentary of Howard Stern, the US radio personality, and charts his rise to fame as one of America's most controversial and well-loved presenters. It briefly maps the key events of his childhood, but gets to grips with his pursuit of a radio career and the successes and failures he has along the way. The film is exceptionally funny, with a great range of both verbal and visual comedy to keep you laughing throughout. Stern's irreverent attitude comes across so well that one can't help but appreciate his purposeful attacks against those who try to silence or manipulate him. Ther are some very tender and, depending on ...  Read the complete review

The first I heard of Howard Stern was when he appeared on TFI Friday to promote this film. Instantly he rang rings around Chris Evans and was shocking but incredibly funny at the same time. Stern has a top rated radio show in the USA which propelled it's way into american culture by being quiter outrageous and definitely not the sort of thing americans were used to listening to during breakfast. Private Parts is the film that charts his rise to the top. Rather than being purely devoted to the shocking aspects Director Betty Thomas concentrates a lot on Sterns private life with his long suffering wife and their problems in having a child. It alos ...  Read the complete review
