Private Parts
(1997)

Public Parts

Attention-seeking is a neurotic characteristic of White culture and this comedy is no exception. It is, in fact, an analysis of a mediocrity who - like Woody ALLEN - makes his White sexual inadequacies the stuff of some pretty-riotous moments of pretty-inspired idiocy.

One you get over the anally-retentive nature of the humor, you find yourself enjoying the sheer silliness of it all - especially as the humor is as politically-incorrect as humor should be.

The wider problem here, however, is that Howard STERN cannot always tell when the personal is political - and when it is just personal. This is why so many find STERN obscene rather than an accurate barometer of a culture with too many skeletons in its closet; while also explaining the resulting hypocritical mind-set of the emotionally unspontaneous.
