Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Give credit to director Betty Thomas for making the notorious Howard Stern, self-proclaimed "king of all media," into a nerdish but appealing media rebel who loves his wife and family. Even if you hate Stern's rude radio show, you may discover that the underdog charm of this warm, whimsical film (based on Stern's autobiography) turns you into a fan--for the length of the film at least. Stern delivers a winning performance as the clumsy college kid and aspiring disc-jockey-turned-demon-shock-jock, who becomes an unlikely hero as he battles station managers, network executives, and conservative "arbiters of decency" in the name of unfettered bad taste. Mary McCormack is fine as his understanding wife, Alison, and longtime Stern sidekicks Robin Quivers and Fred Norris acquit themselves nicely appearing as themselves. By the end of this smart, funny little film, don't be surprised if you find yourself cheering for the slob. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Just Not My Thing...I bought this at the request of a friend, knowing I wasn't fond of Mr. Stern. What I didn't expect was the friend asking me to please watch it with him. So, I did. It's typical self indulgent, I'll be a bad boy if I want to, nyah nyah Howard Stern stuff. If that's your thing, then you'll probably like it. Since it's NOT my thing....well, you get the picture. Rating: - Can't miss this, whether you are a fan or notThere is no debate, Howard Stern has dominated the radio market in the last ten plus years. This film shows how he got to that spot, taking us through the process by which he discovered what people really wanted to hear, and the challenges he faced along the way. You really do not need to be a fan of Stern to appreciate this funny and informative movie. And let's get real; when Stern was on free radio, a lot of those that hated him listened to him even more than those that liked him. As they put ...

Sterns humor style (deadpan and cynical delivery) and his excellent writing staff/supporting cast made his show truly a phenomanom in it's heyday. Personally, I loved the show for more than a decade hearing him first locally in Washington,D.C then in syndication from New York. Stern truly did introduce a lot of great humor to the airwaves and transitioned from record-spinner/joketeller ... Read More Rating: - An American Original!This movie is fantastic. It's a great look at the life of Howard Stern upto just before the end of his marriage to the lovely Allison. A true fan can only hope for a Private Parts II when he finally leaves Sirius that's as good a movie as this one. Rating: - whoever says Howard Stern can't act can suck itHoward Stern is awesome. He's totally vulgar but a total genius. When I was little I used to watch his old channel 9 show and marvel at his total comedy. He is so naturally funny. And I don't think there has ever been a man in American media that has done more in the spoken oral format (no pun intended.) This movie describes Howard's long battle to become "the king of all media." He played the role as him very well, and whoever says he can't act can eat it. I saw some old clips of him on You Tube ...
