Review of Private Parts (1997) by Mike C — 07 Jan 2008
Seeing the scene in which Stern bathes with the horny nude woman but never removes his underwear and never follows through reminded me of Bill Clinton saying he never inhaled or never had sex with that woman yeah right.
It is just another example of Stern having his cake and eating it too he is a bad boy but not really. Like any self written Hollywood bio you have to take a lot of it with a grain of salt. If nothing else it proves why he is the king of all media.
No matter what he says you still like him and want to believe him. What makes Howard Stern funny on the radio is his lack of pretension and the way he skewers everything equally. The movie is best when it shows this in action.
The love story works surprisingly well too. What is refreshing about the movie is that it never gets stuck in a groove. It finds the right balance in its elements. The portrait of Howard as a gawky nerd in the seventies is something that all gawky 70s nerds can identify with.
