Paul Giamatti stole every scene he was in

I have'nt watched Private Parts in years but I recently watched it again and was amazed by Giamatti. He was on the Stern show I think earlier this year and mentioned that PP was his breakthrough into the business and it shows, he brings so much life to that character that I could actually watch an entire movie about PigVomit. I think he also stands out due to the fact that Howard and crew are'nt really trained actors, but literally every scene he appears in is a homerun.

Giamatti is on the money in this movie...a razor sharp performance that contains nothing false or over the top...Giamatti creates an almost cartoon like character who always remains vividly real and yes,he does steal every scene he is in...the only person in the movie who isn't blown off the screen by Stern.

That scene is classic and hard for me to forget. Paul Giamatti creates the perfect bigshot with a temper so short You just can´t blame Howard for wanting to tease him.

Yes, that was the first time I noticed him. It was too bad he didn't get a Supporting Actor nomination since he was pretty good.

Giamatti should have been nominated for an Oscar. He was hysterical.
