Plot: Two actors, as their make up is applied, talk about the size of their parts. Then into the film: Laurence Sterne's unfilmable novel, Tristram Shandy, a fictive autobiography wherein the narrator, interrupted constantly, takes the entire story to be born. The film tracks between "Shandy" and behind the scenes. Size matters: parts, egos, shoes, noses. The lead's girlfriend, with their infant son, is up from London for the night, wanting sex; interruptions are constant. Scenes are shot, re-shot, and discarded. The purpose of the project is elusive. Fathers and sons; men and women; cocks and bulls. Life is amorphous, too full and too rich to be captured in one narrative.

Quotes:

Jennie: 'Fear Eats The Soul,' there's more truth in that title than most whole films.

Tony Wilson: Why "Tristram Shandy"? This is the book that many people said is unfilmable.::Steve Coogan: I think that's the attraction. "Tristram Shandy" was a post-modern classic written before there was any modernism to be post about. So it was way ahead of its time and, in fact, for those who haven't heard of it, it was actually listed as number eight on the Observer's top 100 books of all time.::Tony Wilson: That was a *chronological* list.

Rob Brydon: [Rob shows Steve his teeth] What do you think? Have a look at the color.::Steve Coogan: I saw the color the last time I looked. It registered.::Rob Brydon: It's what they call "not white." What color would you call it?::Steve Coogan: I would, I'd concur with "not white." I'd go further.::Rob Brydon: I mean, it's not yellow.::Steve Coogan: I, you know, I mean, there's a sliding scale, isn't there, you know.::Rob Brydon: Hint of yellow.::Steve Coogan: I think you're closest to...::Rob Brydon: Barley meadow. Tuscan sunset.::Steve Coogan: You're getting laughs, but it's not making your teeth look any better.

Steve Coogan: [Steve is hanging upside down in the model womb] How about filming the other way around, the right way up, and then just flip the image?::Leo: Well, maybe, but I'd have to have a word with Mark about that. I mean, I think he wanted the realism.::Steve Coogan: He wants realism?::Leo: Yeah.::Steve Coogan: Yeah, I'm a grown man, talking to the camera, in a fucking womb!

Steve Coogan: Do you know there's a good Groucho Marx story about, see, he meets a woman with seven children and says "Why've you got seven kids?" and she says "Because I love my husband." And he says, "Well, I love my cigar, but I take it out now and again."

Steve Coogan: Given that the story's about Walter's love for his son, I really think that Walter should be there at the birth.::Joe: It's the 18th Century. Men just didn't do that. You're a 21st Century man, but Walter can't be.::Steve Coogan: He talks to the fucking camera. He can be emotional. If you saw Walter for an instant holding the baby in his arms, then you would forgive him all his flaws.::Joe: Yeah, but it would look terrible. It'd be like the scene in Robin Hood where Kevin Costner delivers a baby.::Steve Coogan: Because he's got a stupid mullet haircut.

Rob Brydon: [Rob shows Steve his teeth] What do you think? I've had them done.::Steve Coogan: I know you have.::Rob Brydon: What do you think? Feel that one. There's no crevice. Feel it.::Steve Coogan: Don't ask me to feel your teeth.::Rob Brydon: Just close your eyes and feel it.::Steve Coogan: No. It's your fucking teeth. Christ!::Rob Brydon: What is the matter with you? You've got such a thing about, whenever there's a hint of something gay, you immediately...::Steve Coogan: What? This has nothing to do with "gay". I'm very cautious.::Rob Brydon: That's what it is. You don't want to touch another man's teeth, because you're worried you might be attracted to me. Just touch my teeth.

Steve Coogan: I've got to be able to kick and stretch. That's what foeti do.::Leo: Yeah, but not when they're full term.::Steve Coogan: He wants realism. Yeah. I'm a grown man, talking to the camera, in a womb.

Rob Brydon: The thing is, I can't act...::Steve Coogan: I know that.::Rob Brydon: ...with Gillian Anderson. I have a sexual thing for Gillian Anderson.

Tristram Shandy: That is a child actor, pretending to be me. I'll be able to play myself later. I think I could probably get away with being eighteen, nineteen. Until then, I'll be played by a series of child actors. This was the best of a bad bunch.

Was it self-defense or murder? While Terri acts strangely indifferent to her own fate, her attorney tries to reconstruct what happened. The moral ambiguity and the unfathomable mysteries of the human heart are just the sort of thing her attorney had hoped to leave behind him when he left big city law.
