Leave your thoughts about Private Parts.
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesHoward's film raises comedy to a new level. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversWhat can I tell you? It works. Private Parts is a comic firecracker with a surprising human touch. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestThe movie's often hilarious, but it's not quite as satisfying as Stern's radio show. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThere are some huge laughs here spread consistently through the picture, and screenwriters Len Blum and Michael Kalesniko put virtually no lulls between laughs. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEnough fake humility to make you barf if not a fan. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsScott RenshawNo matter how much of Howard Stern you've seen, this is a Howard Stern you haven't seen. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellThanks to sharp editing and surprisingly strong comic timing, the film puts less emphasis on the Stern raunchiness than on how his wilder routines make listeners drive off the road. |
| Film ThreatChris GoreWhile PP does contain the lesbian-toilet-poo-poo-homo-butt kind of humor you would expect, (Ba Ba Booey) underneath that, there is a real movie there with fully developed characters and engaging conflict. It's an absolute must-see. |
| Los Angeles TimesJack MathewsPrivate Parts is a supremely crafty, smartly written, and--given the number of "himselfs" and "herselfs" on the cast list--surprisingly well-acted piece of pop kitsch. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookDirector Thomas applies the deft comic touch which made The Brady Bunch Movie (similarly ignored outside the US) such a hoot, to make for a deliriously funny, frequently outrageous romp. |
