A Cock and Bull Story (2005)
Movie
Released
Trying to adapt Tristram Shandy becomes a comedy about performers protecting their importance inside a production. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon let professional insecurity keep interrupting the literary project. The British film is inviting even without finishing the novel first; its best subject is the competitive work of appearing effortless.

About A Cock and Bull Story
Steve Coogan, an arrogant actor with low self-esteem and a complicated love life, is playing the eponymous role in an adaptation of "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" being filmed at a stately home. He constantly spars with actor Rob Brydon, who is playing Uncle Toby and believes his role to be of equal importance to Coogan's.
