Okay, let's see if you can follow this. The story of 18th-century "Tristram Shandy"'s (Coogan) life (and what "A Cock & Bull Story" it is) that's playing on the big screen is really a movie being made. But to confuse things even further, the reactions and goings-on of the 21st-century filmmakers who are working on the "unfilmable" classic novel are alternately being thrown in between scenes. Based on the novel "The Life And Opinions Of Tristram Shandy" by Laurence Sterne. (Tricia Spears)
