What A Cock and Bull Story Is About

Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy digresses constantly, does not reach its hero's birth for hundreds of pages, and has long been called unfilmable. Winterbottom does not film it. He films a crew trying to. Steve Coogan plays himself, an arrogant actor with no self-esteem and a complicated private life, and Rob Brydon plays himself, and the two compete over everything from shoe lifts to line counts. The novel sabotaged its own story; the film sabotages its own production. The adaptation fails exactly as it should.
