In Shaun of the Dead, it was the zombie movie and the anomie of modern life. In Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg set their sights on the buddy cop blockbuster and the eccentric English village. The two worlds collide when overachieving London officer Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is promoted to sergeant. The catch is that he's being transferred to Agatha Christie country. His superiors (the comic trifecta of Martin Campbell, Steve Coogan, and Bill Nighy) explain that he's making the rest of the force look bad. On the surface, Sandford is a sleepy little burg where the most egregious crimes, like loitering, are committed by hoody-sporting schoolboys. In truth, it's a hotbed of Willow Man-style evil. Upon his arrival, Chief Butterman (Jim Broadbent) partners Angel with his daft son, Danny (Nick Frost, Pegg's Shaun co-star), who aspires to kick criminal 'arse' like the slick duo in Bad Boys II. When random citizens start turning up dead, he gets his chance. With the worshipful Danny at his side, Angel shows his cake-eating colleagues how things are done in the big city. As in Shaun, their previous picture, Wright and Pegg hit their targets more often than not. With the success of that debut comes a bigger budget for car chases, shoot-outs, and fiery explosions. Though Hot Fuzz earns its R-rating with salty language and grisly deaths, the tone is more good-natured than mean-spirited. A wall-to-wall soundtrack of boisterous British favorites, like the Kinks, T-Rex, and Sweet, contributes to the fast-paced fun. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Top Truncheon
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are superb in this cracking little British comedy. Nick Angel (Pegg) is the London supercop who is so good he's making all his colleagues look fools, and so is shunted off to the 'sticks' and utter boredom - or so it seems. Danny (Frost) is his hapless partner and bane, short on experience but big in enthusiasm.
Angel becomes suspicious as the accident mortality rate in the village begins to rise, only to be held back by the cluelessness of his colleagues and ... Read More
Rating: - Hysterical
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg demonstrate brilliantly how to use cliches to create intelligent and hysterical comedy. Pegg and Frost are of course great on screen together; there are layers upon layers of reference, visual and verbal. Especially for those who grew up watching crime dramas and detective movies, you will experience a strange and wonderful sense of deja vu.
Rating: - We LOVED it!! Hilarious send-up of cop movie genre!!
When we watched Hot Fuzz, we laughed our patooties off!
The movie tells the story of police officer Nicholas Angel, a top cop in London. Because he's received so many commendations and made so many arrests (400% more than any other officer in London), he's making his co-workers (and supervisors) look bad. To get rid of him, management has him transferred to the sleepy little village of Sandford. There, he gets stuck with an inexperienced partner (who happens to be the son of the police ... Read More
Rating: - avalanche of funny
this movie starts off kind of slow, but if you keep with it you'll be duly rewarded with its hilarity.
Rating:  - Weird, but enjoyable
Simon Pegg oozes hilarity. He is a natural comedian, and he doesn't even need to try. I've always found that British comedies are much funnier and wittier than American ones. I think it has something to do with their overly dry humour and their love for the F-bomb. It just sounds better coming from a Brit.
Anywho, Hot Fuzz starts off somewhat normal but then halfway through the film, it gets a tad weird. What you think the plot is about is not what it really is, and it just comes at you ... Read More
