A Movie About Filming a Movie About a Book About Writing a Book..

Tristram Shandy: A Cock & Bull Story (4/5 stars)

Brief Review: Very funny, something like what Adaptation might have been like if it was done as a full blown comedy instead of something (in my opinion) much better. As far as the "watching the movie being made as you're watching it" concept goes though, losing out to my perhaps second favorite movie of all time isn't too bad.

Essentially, it feels like a mockumentary along the lines of Best in Show or Waiting for Guffman, except it is in part an adaptation of a book and part the filming of the adaptation of the book. And due to the nature of the multiple plot layers, it's also pretty weird. What's important is that there's plenty of funny moments throughout, I will not list them, I just recommend you go see if for yourself, it you can. And be sure to stay for the credits, which are actually probably one of the funniest things of all.
