Private Parts (DVD)Based on a best-selling autobiography, this comedy drama is the surprisi ngly sweet-natured life story of a controversial radio perso nality. How ard Stern, who stars as himself, is a nerdy New York kid who dreams of a disc jockey career despite being a self-loathing klutz who lacks a tra ditional broadcaster's voice. A strikeout artist in college, Stern's rom antic travails end when he meets and m arries Alison (Mary McCormack), a beautiful social worker. Stern's early career at several radio stations is undistinguished. Bored, he makes his life the centerpiece of his sh ow, including his obsessions with sex and bathroom humor, and he finds w illing cohorts i n news reporter Robin Quivers and producer Fred Norris. After an abortive tenure at a Washington D.C. station that loathes his high- rated antics, he lands at NBC in New York. Again, Stern clashes re gularly with executives, especially Kenny "Pig Vomit" Rushton (Pau l Gia matti), who runs roughshod over Stern's team. At home, Stern's tendency to discuss the intimate details of his marriage takes a toll, reaching a meltdown when he jokes about Alison's recent miscarriage on-air.]]>

Hilarious...way out there!
From start to finish, "Private Parts" is one of the funniest, most clever adult comedies I have ever seen. The reviewers said it was a "Sure-fire comedy!" It was. And I don't understand why it took me 26 years to watch it (released in 1997). It's not for everyone but everyone should see it (if that makes any sense). Keep it away from the kids.

Private Parts DVD
A true story of Howard Sterns life on his way to becoming The King Of All Media. You see him as a nerd growing up to super star the world over. NOBODY believed in him but he kept pushing and won. You see how he met and put together his incredible team of friends. It stars them and they are surprisingly very good, even Howard. It's funny and real at the same time. Howard and many others say it is almost 100% true facts. A great movie not for the young.

Private Parts ROCKS!!!
I remember seeing this movie in the theaters with my buddies back when I was a teenager! I have been listening to Howard since 1996 when I graduated High School and started commuting to a job that took 2 hours to get too.Howard's radio program helped me pass the time. So naturaly when his movie came out I had to go check it out!Now I am an avid listener on Sirius ch.100 and 101 the Howard Stern channels on Satalite radio. I reccomend everyone get Sirius just for Howards shows!Private parts is awesome! I only wish he could produce a second movie to show his move to satalite radio and how he now has 35million listeners!!!!I totaly recommend this movie to all the yenta's out there that hate howard and to all the fans who love him!GREAT PURCHASE!

funny & interesting
I watched this a few years back when it came out on rental and I enjoyed it. I was laughing a lot. It was also interesting on how Howard Stern got in to the business & over came the odds of the people shutting him down.

Number one on my comedy list............
Just re-watched and loved it again . Howard Stern tells his life story and it cracked me up again . From Fartman to the number one dj at wnbc his antics were made for my lifestyle. May be too vulgar for some but for me a welcome addition to a serious world .

No question, Howard Stern has had an interesting and illustrious career. I suppose it was a good idea for him to make this movie when he did - and it was done well by Ivan Reitman. The movie has a good feeling to it and it has some very funny moments, but there's not much to it beyond the story we'd already known about Howard - as revealed over the years on his radio show.It's entertaining - and I especially like the parts where Howard plays himself as a college student. Keeping things so so tame may have hurt the story somewhat, but the success of the movie speaks for itself.Oh, as an aside, this DVD has one of the gayest photos I've ever seen on the cover.

Contagiously humorous!
I really love Howard Stern - and for all the people that want to bash him, they should really think twice and get to know the man behind the microphone. He is rude, foul and absolutely wonderful - he will say all the things that you are thinking, but too afraid to say out loud! He has come a very long way, he has tamed his style, but never lost his ability to capture an audience. If you ever want to know more about Howard and you are just now giving him a shot, start with the movie and then give him a listen!!!
