There's only one way to describe Howard Stern: funny. Private Parts captures Howard at his most hilarious, in a bare-all, no-jokes-barred look at a true entertainment sensation.
Based on the no. 1 bestseller, Private Parts follows Howard's amazing transformation from school nerd to media superstar. With the tireless support of his true love, Alison (Mary McCormack), Howard battles slimy broadcasting execs, bitter radio jocks, and his own self-doubts to emerge triumphant as "The King Of All Media." Featuring sidekick Robin Quivers and the rest of Stern's radio gang, Private Parts is as uncompromising, honest, and flat-out funny as Howard Stern himself.
"Two thumbs up!" Siskel & Ebert
"A sure-fire hit comedy!" Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Editor's Note
Radio's larger-than-life bad boy, and self-proclaimed "King of All Media," Howard Stern exposes his "Private Parts" in this adaptation of his best-selling autobiography. Tracing his evolution from hopelessly geeky student to top-rated shock jock, the film not only chronicles his legendarily off-color on-air demeanor (Lesbian Dial-a-Date; frequent nude guests) and his continuous battles with management over content and co-hosts, but it also examines his unexpectedly touching and sincere relationship with his wife, Alison.

5 of 5 If you're a Howard Stern fan - It's a must see! Tuesday, September 26, 2006
Thomas Wilson from Jacksonville, FL
I've always liked this movie... I work in the radio industry so to see a little bit of history behind the legend is an absolute must. I was pretty happy with the overall production of the movie. Well produced. Even the acting was decent. This is definitely not a movie for kids though! Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Coup d'etais for Stern! Sunday, June 06, 1999
Tom.Saunders from Winter Springs, FL
With the deft and precise incision of a highly skilled surgeon, Stern cuts to the funny bone so many times per minute that even his worst critics are giving this film rave revues. With self-deprecating humor always sacrificing for the saved punch line, his timing is as impeccable as Burns and Allen. If you love Stern, you've already seen this movie several times. If you hate Stern, and haven't seen Private Parts more than twice, allow yourself the luxury, like a closet drinker, of imbibing one more time before you tell one more person how sick he really is!
