Despite the off-putting title, this turns out to be an absolutely hilarious (if not for the easily offended) satirical biopic of American radio 'shock jock' Howard Stern, who'll do absolutely anything for a laugh.
Stern plays himself with great brio like Kenny Everett on acid, so put granny to bed, prepare for nudity, sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and party on, dudes!
Stern wants to defend freedom of speech, which we all approve of, though this controversially includes his right to rant on radio, be non-PC and say and do stuff the authorities would rather he didn't.
He ought to be very annoying, but somehow throughout he remains an engagingly wacky kind of guy. You wouldn't want to share an apartment with him, though. Or maybe you would, given that he signed a contract in 2000 worth $385,000 a week.
