Movie Review

A Cock and Bull Story is a 2006 British comedy directed by Michael Winterbottom. It is a film-within-a-film, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon playing themselves as the egotistical lead and "co-lead" actors in an adaptation of the novel The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne. It was released on both region 1 and region 2 DVD in July 2006.

This film, and the novel from which it is adapted, are both examples of metafiction.

In the United States and also in Australia, the film was released as Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story.
