I’ve been wondering every time I see this one in my collection why I never seem to get around to watching it, and now I realise exactly why: I really have no idea what to write about it. I haven’t read “Tristram Shandy” – had never even heard of it before this movie came about – and I don’t know if I’m any wiser about it having watched this “adaptation” of it, but my curiosity has certainly been piqued … I mean, how could it not be with the likes of Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Dylan Moran, David Walliams, Gillian Anderson, Stephen Fry … well, the cast list is endless. There are literally handfuls of laughs and a few rather startling shocks too, and I think I’ll definitely be watching it again. DVD could be an idea too … for the “footnotes”. To be honest, it’s worth watching for Steve Coogan’s hot chestnut scene alone, lol.
