Tristam Shandy - A Cock and Bull Story

I'm not sure what the hell this movie was about. I thought parts of it were funny, but overall, it wasn't worth seeing. It's very post modern, very self-referential and very absurd.

I enjoyed Winterbottom's 24 Hour Party People and this has some of the same crazy shenanigans ...Scenes within scenes and people playing themselves playing someone else...

I never read the book, and from the other reviews I have read, it's not worth the time. What does make this movie worth watching: A cameo by Gillian Anderson, the genius of the "womb scene" and the apparently improvised conversation at the end of the movie during the credits.
