It's one of those dialogue-heavy, single night movies that's not quite as clever or funny as the filmmakers think it is. A big problem with the arc of the story is the lies generated between the two leads are a bit too big, so forgiveness is a stretch.

Thankfully, it's not a total bust. Short and O'Toole are good here, and the movie is able to coast along on their chemistry.

Private Parts went way beyond the call of duty. I went expecting only solid laughs. That is all I really was asking for. It delievered on all fronts: writing, directing, and acting were all top notch. It left me dumbstruck that a movie with such lowbrow humor could hand out a solid emotionally driven story at the same time. I feel this has much to do with the mix of Howard Stern's raunchy humor combined with Betty Thomas' female touch. A terrfic film.
