Further Reading

  • Rob's reviews of Momma's Man and Hamlet 2
  • Also, back in 2003 Rob saw Jacobs' first film, noted many of its interesting details, and kept the filmmaker's name in mind as someone to watch. You'll note from the grid that with Jacobs' third film, others have begun to watch as well.
  • Steve Coogan's Wikipedia entry is smaller than Alan Partridge's Wikipedia entry. (Partridge is a character created by Coogan.)
  • In that same vein: Coogan will soon begin a stand-up tour, his first in ten years. The name of the tour is "Steve Coogan As Alan Partridge And Other Less Successful Characters."
  • Coogan's official website
