This a funny movie. That's the bottom line. Whether you're a Howard Stern fan or not, this film has some funny material in it; not because of the dialogue, but just because of the way the characters execute it in the filming. If you're a Stern fan (which I happen to be anyway), you will most likely find this biography of his rise to fame as both a very funny movie and a lesson in life on how someone on the bottom can rise to the top through perseverance and a never ending dedication. If you're NOT a Stern fan, you will most likely still admire this film to some degree. And if you don't like it, it will certainly help you understand STern a little more and see what makes him tick.
The only major problem that I observed through this film is that it can't quite decide whether it wants to be a 100% side-splitting comedy or a touching drama with humorous elements weaved into it. Therefore, this movie kind of sits uncomfortably on the fence between comedy and drama. Although the comedic parts flow smoothly, the occasional dramatic moment comes off as cringingly awkward.
Overall a good film. I recommend it to those who aren't easily offended.
