| | USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story |
 | | Overall bawdy tone, rough language and some profanity, crude expressions, sexual situations and much innuendo, unrelated partial and rear nudity, brief full frontal child nudity including diaper changing and a crude sight gag, graphic childbirth scene, permissive view of premarital affair and parenting, adultery, a visual joke involving a womb. |
 | | We're talking about "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story" (Picturehouse), which turns out to be a fitfully amusing saga of a movie crew attempting to film British pastor Laurence Sterne's novel, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman." The 1767 nine-volume work has always been considered unfilmable because of its wildly nonlinear structure. |
 | | Someday, "Tristram Shandy" may have cult status, for the film is certainly unusual, not to mention clever, in many ways. |
