Private Parts

Most of the bad ratings are probably people who actually know Howard Stern in person and rated his movie. This movie is an iconic classic of radio show broadcast history. Howard Stern is the goat. Of shock jock. Also the innovator for people nowadays, especially entertainers who do other radio cast podcasts and simulcasts.

Well, I just watched that movie and I tell you: I had a GREAT time!! I had never heard of Howard Stern, especially here in Greece, but now I found out he's one cool dude! No matter what, check out this movie and you are going to have a great time...It really ROCKS!

Private Parts just isn't the same on regular TV. While the USA Network made a gutsy decision to air this excellent movie, the edited version doesn't have the crucial elements that 1) make fans love Stern and 2) make other people hate Stern. Still, this an excellent story about how a regular guy went made it to the top.

I tried very hard to find a laugh-out-loud moment in this film and have failed. This is a film adaptation of HS's autobiographical book, and as such is portrayed through the "eyes" of a self-centred megalomaniac. As badly as HS wants us to think all this is interesting and even funny, it simply isn't. The scene with the patient in the park, for example, looks so poorly acted and so predictable. Too bad really. Lots of interesting characters have appeared on the show, and many of them could have made this movie more interesting. The supporting cast, particularly Fred, are very good; the sole exception is of course Robin, who comes across at least as equally self absorbed as HS regardless of whether she actually is or not. Rent it on a slow night only.

Howard Stern is my guilty pleasure. I mean, I know he's often politically incorrect, but also know that it's mostly a schtick for radio. While it's fashionable to dislike him for his mysogony, he's still manged to remain on top for many years. I like him. I think he has a good heart. I even like this movie, not as much as I thought I would, but Stern definitely comes across as a caring human being with a slightly skewered view of the world we live in. I believe he made this movie to give himself some credibility and it works on that level. When it's funny, it's hilarious and when it's corny it's sweetly so. It lacks a certain ooomph, and of course, the breakup of his long marriage shortly after the release of the film leaves one to believe there's more to the story than what's shown on screen. Watch it for the laughs; there are many!

I'm a long time every single day listener and this movie is masterpiece. Can watch it over and over . Love it

If you didn't know the man portraying Howard Stern in this movie was himself, you'd think the guy playing the part really nailed it. You never get the sense that Mr. Stern is blowing his own horn:rather, you feel the undercurrent of a genius always on the verge of another breakthrough, and that is the appeal of this film. Anyone could have made a documentary of Mr. Stern (some have tried, and fell far short of their mark) but no one can deny that Private Parts says it all: it's just a bonus that we see it from the man himself.

First off, I love the Howard Stern show and listen to it at work everyday so I'm not a Stern-basher; however, I found this film to be average at best, and not up to the level of hilarity of one of his morning radio programs. As a matter of fact, the funniest moments in the film are depictions of radio bits (the Match Game for instance, was terrific). I suspect that this film was aimed at people who are down on Stern to try to win them over to him by showing that he is indeed a real person, but for existing fans, this did not break any new ground. Howard Stern resurrected the media of radio in my mind, but when it comes to film he's got a long way to go. BABABOOEY!

When I first saw this movie, I hated Howard Stern, bad ! But when I saw this movie, I had to admit, it was hilarious, and I took a liking for Stern. The movie is hilarious, and shows alot of the funny things that go on with the radio show. But they don't show any of the real wacky stuff that has happened, or made references to anything that happens that has really made the Stern show known. Howard Stern's life was well acted out, and well scripted. This movie is definitely on my Top 100 List.

Private Parts is unlike most films: it makes you laugh. I loved Private Parts, because it showed that Howard Stern was human. The idea to have Howard Stern playing himself was ingenious and the scenes which involved him in the past were excellent, they were simply funny. Most people were put off by this film, I don't know how they could. Stern is likeable, and funny. The story is great, it is original. It shows that Stern isn't a jerk. That he is nice. I was on the floor the whole way through this film, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who were the same. Top marks for a top film.
