This short, made-for-cable parody is a
Scary Movie style spoof of
Steven Spielberg's WWII epic
Saving Private Ryan. Over-the-top phallus jokes make up the majority of the eight minute film, as the plot follows a group of soldiers searching for not just their missing comrade, but his lost genitalia as well. While labeled by some as being in poor taste, Saving Ryan's Privates generated a cult following for providing laughter amidst the hype for such a serious movie. The short film is frequently erroneously referred to as a porn title. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
