Coogan may be game and there are plenty of nods to assorted sexploits, but this riffing on his caddish public image was done a lot more amusingly and a lot less smugly in a 10-minute skit in Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes.

A successful mix of literary adaptation, meta-fictional discourse and inside-showbiz comedy. Both funny and clever.

Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story is a hall of mirrors that doesn't tease the brain (it's easier to watch than to read about) so much as goose it into submission.

By all accounts, Sterne's novel is nutty and ribald and utterly defiant of conventional storytelling techniques ... hence this adaptation's wonderfully meta take.

[Michael Winterbottom's] goofy, messy version of Tristram Shandy puts the Fellini back in 'Fellini-esque.'

Feb 17, 2017'Tristram Shandy' is a great deal less clever than it thinks it is.Christian C Super Reviewer

Dec 03, 2012It doesn't make one wit of sense but then again, this is an adaptaion of an unadaptable book so it makes sense for it not to make any sense. The interplay between Coogan and Brydon is great to watch and we get more of it in The Trip. You could do a movie just watching those two go at it..and quite frankly that is this movie.John B Super Reviewer

Aug 03, 2011your mileage may vary according to your taste in 18th century literature, british comedy and/or the post-modern film stylings of michael winterbottom/steve coogan. i enjoyed it very much, tho it's messy and not everything works. one clever bit, amongst many clever bits, was the score's subtly referencing everything from barry lyndon to 8 1/2, perhaps an allusion to the many charges of plagiarism against the novelStella D Super Reviewer

Jun 09, 2011I don't really get this type of "comedy" and I don't really like Steve Coogan. I do however like Rob Brydan and Gillian Anderson, but apart from that the film failed to impress me and I don't remember laughing once.Cameron S Super Reviewer
