Consensus: A surprisingly endearing biopic about the controversial shock-jock Howard Stern that is equally funny and raunchy.

Tracing his evolution from... 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.

Reviews for Private Parts
[Stern] may be the master of his domain on the radio, but he doesn't necessarily have a future in movies.
There are some huge laughs here spread consistently through the picture, and screenwriters Len Blum and Michael Kalesniko put virtually no lulls between laughs.
A biodrama about Howard Stern, who speaks for the nine-year old boy in all of us.
A choppy amalgram of Revenge of the Nerds, Father Knows Best and Network.
