With her marriage to Oswald (Diedrich Bader) only days away, Kate (Christa Miller) despairs over not being able to afford her dream wedding dress. Drew (Drew Carey) literally ponies up the necessary $5000 by agreeing to let his neighbors the Clemenses store a broken-down horse in his backyard. Alas, Drew's grand gesture is reward with hostility from Oswald, who has already purchased a cheap knockoff of the wedding dress and is convinced that Drew is trying to embarrass him in front of Kate. With all this going on, do we really need the drunken antics of the redoubtable Mr. Wick (Craig Ferguson)? ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Based on a best-selling autobiography, this comedy drama is the surprisingly sweet-natured life story of a controversial radio personality. Howard Stern, who stars as himself, is a nerdy New York kid who dreams of a disc jockey career despite being a self-loathing klutz who lacks a traditional broadcaster's voice. A strikeout artist in college, Stern's romantic travails end when he meets and marries Alison (Mary McCormack), a beautiful social worker. Stern's early career at several radio stations is undistinguished. Bored, he makes his life the centerpiece of his show, including his obsessions with sex and bathroom humor, and he finds willing cohorts in news reporter Robin Quivers and producer Fred Norris. After an abortive tenure at a Washington D.C. station that loathes his high-rated antics, he lands at NBC in New York. Again, Stern clashes regularly with executives, especially Kenny "Pig Vomit" Rushton (Paul Giamatti), who runs roughshod over Stern's team. At home, Stern's tendency to discuss the intimate details of his marriage takes a toll, reaching a meltdown when he jokes about Alison's recent miscarriage on-air. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
