Editorial Review:
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
Get ready for a gut-busting outrageous comedy from the guys that created Shaun of the Dead. Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is a big-city cop who can't be stopped - but he's making everyone else on the force look bad. When he is reassigned to a small quiet town he struggles with this new seemingly idyllic world and his bumbling partner (Nick Frost). But their dull existence is interrupted by several grisly and suspicious accidents and the crime-fighting duo turn up the heat and hand out high-octane car-chasing gun-fighting big-city justice in this hilarious hit critics are calling "Outrageous! Uproariously Funny!" (Thelma Adams US Weekly).System Requirements:Running Time: 121 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 025193327420 Manufacturer No: 62033274

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - HUMOR GONE AWRY
This movie started with great promise and ended with considerable disappointment. I thought I was in for a bout of dry British humor and satire. But the plot got wilder and wilder, weirder and weirder and less and less funny. It ended in total unreality with a welter of comic-book violence. It was also way too long. Someone should have told the director that sometimes less is more.
Rating:  - Another great funny should be Classic
Like Shaun of the Dead, this movie is hilarious and fun and I loved it. These two guys are the present day Abbot and Costello duo, their humor and antics are superb and very entertaining. When you watch these guys you forget all your troubles for a little while, and isn't that what entertainment is all about?
Rating: - Brit-alicious
I hope these folks continue to make more movies together. The results are a guaranteed laugh-out-loud experience. Not for all tastes, but for those who enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, you will definitely enjoy this film.
Rating: - Hot Fuzz is a Blast!
A Hilarious movie with the most unlikeliest villians ever. When the best cop on the force is sent to work in the "quietest" town because he makes other cops look bad, all heck breaks loose. Filled with some of the sickest/funniest death scenes ever put on film, it's a great whodunnit.
Rating: - By The Power Of Grey Skull!!
I didn't expect this to be so funny, but it was!! I loved it!! I thought this was much better than Shaun of the Dead.
Simon Pegg did amazing as the straight man to everyone's jokes.
