From: Bash Yer Arse Category: Films Date: 15 November 2006 Time: 06:09 AM Review: Steve Coogan’s latest film ‘Cock and Bull Story’ is bad copy of an episode out of ‘Extras’ Series 1. ‘Cock’ doesn’t really work as a 90 minute film. Steve Coogan plays himself and Tristram Shandy in the filming of ‘The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy’ .The book is supposed to be unfilmable and that’s the joke. Coogan send ups of himself a few times as Alan Partridge and Roger Moore . Rob Brydon also stars as himself and Walter's brother - Tristram's Uncle Toby. Though I have not really taken to Robs humour but that’s just my opinion. Personally, I found the film unwatchable - but seeing had rented it I had to see it through to the bitter end.
