This review is from: Steve Coogan: Live 'n' Lewd [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Steve Coogan, British comic, made this movie within a farce, which was much about him and his girfriend as it was about the character of the play. Throughout the troublesome and irritating production with problems and cast interactions, it was worse than the actual debaucle on film. The thing wasnot a real movie about a real person but a character out of English literature. In actualitoy, it was more about the crew than the acting. Steve attempted to be Tristram Shandy, gentlelman, using his own baby (with an immoral girfriend) hardly a gentleman of any kind.

He tries to act like Roger Moore when getting around and into female crew members as they pretend to be characters. There was definitely too much detail and repetition of the birth scene. It was a breech birth with the baby upside down and was born damaged.

The actress worried about his equipment before any undue horsing around. There was a beautiful white horse in one scene, looked like Lone Ranger's Silver (Hiho). The father was 40 years old and the mother evfidently enjoyed the preliminaries but not the end result, as was prevalent in 18th century British society. The tennis shoes ware a status thing, as was an aristocratic name when grown. The cock (rooster) and bull of this story was a cartoon drawing, quite ridiculous. The implication of a man's anatomy being damaged was far fetched but not altogether impossible.
