Private Parts | Year: 1997 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Betty Thomas Actors/Actresses: - Scott Cohen - Edie Falco - Mia Farrow - Paul Giamatti - Allison Janney - Howard Stern - Mary McCormack - Robin Quivers Good biography of Howard Stern I first saw "Private Parts" about a year ago and it was a lot different than I thought it was gonna be. It's pretty much just a biography of Howard Stern. It shows how he first became interested in becoming a disc jockey and how he achieved the fame that he currently has as being the only DJ of his kind. But unlike most people might think at first, the movie presents Mr. Stern as more of a sensitive guy than it does gross or immature. It tells of all his struggles and conflicts he had to go through to become the Howard Stern he is today, especially how he struggled in getting his wife to accept his kind of humor on the radio. That's not all that's good about the movie. "Private Parts" is hilarious at times and all the naked women in the movie look good, especially Jenna Jameson. If you'd like to learn more about Howard Stern, you need to see "Private Parts." It's entertaining and it might change your mind a little bit about Mr. Stern after you see it. Howard Stern Exposes Himself! Many celebrities have made movies to capitalize on their fifteen minutes of fame. Howard Stern's "Private Parts" is an outstanding exception to the rule that all vanity projects stink. There are three things that set this movie apart from Jerry Springer's "Ringmaster" and films of that ilk. First of all, Howard Stern has real acting ability. He displays genuine emotions in a realistic manner. Second, this movie is genuinely funny. Howard delights at ridiculing authority figures, but is also not afraid to poke fun at himself. This movie has more laugh out loud scenes in it than the vast majority of so-called comedies. Third, this film doesn't gloss over his shortcomings and failures with some idealized, Hollywood version of his rise to fame and fortune. Howard's first few jobs as a disc jockey were disasters, until he found his true voice. Once he started talking about his personal life in a humorous manner over the air, his radio show's ratings kept going up and up. After becoming the number one disc jockey in Washington, DC, Howard is hired by NBC to work at their flagship radio station in New York City. Amazingly, none of the executives have a clue as to what his radio show was like. After they discover that Howard Stern is a shock jock who continually pushes the envelope, they try to tame him and tone down his show, with disastrous results. Eventually, the fans are drawn to his outrageous antics and Howard's show becomes the number one radio show in New York City. Howard Stern's radio show is syndicated nationally, his book becomes a bestseller, his movie is a critical and commercial success, and Howard Stern rightfully ascends to the throne as "The King Of All Media." Long live the King! Propaganda movie This is Howard's propaganda movie. Much like Michael Moore, he'd have the world believe he is just an ordinary, average guy who has been wrongfully shamed by the majority of Americans. The most accurate part of this film is the beginning when it shows what a lame pencil-neck geek Howard really is. Here we are, 7 years later and , just like Mike Moore, the truth has come out and Howard is a farce. He is no longer married. He has a model for a girlfriend, and is no longer the "everyman" that this film proclaims him to be. Also, nowadays he accuses the President to be trying to get him off the radio. Funny coming from him. Here's a guy who, as soon as Opie and Anthony started making fun of him when his wife left him, went to his company and put a stop to it by taking them off the air. He says himself on the radio that he runs the company. O and A worked for Infinity- his company. Maybe Howard is right, maybe people are out to get him. After all, it would take one to know one.
