Private Parts

DIRECTED BY: Betty Thomas

REVIEWED: 03-27-97

The movie version of the life of Howard Stern, the wildly popular New York disc jockey known for his adolescent humor, doesn't even attempt to be a comedy. Instead, Private Parts is a shamelessly self-congratulatory eulogy for Stern, whose hair will surely continue to grow long after he's dead. Stern's rise to fame and his fierce commitment to maintaining a monogamous relationship with his wife form the core of this movie; a joke or two are thrown in now and then for good measure, but really, it's all about family values. Okay, it's also about Stern's quest for unconditional love from everybody in the world. Will he find it? Do we love him?
