Hot Fuzz

The British action-movie spoof Hot Fuzz comes from Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the creators of the 2004 zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead. For those who saw the earlier film, s'nuff said. "Hot Fuzz is one of the cleverest movie parodies to come along in some while," writes Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News, adding, "In fact, the last satire of this ilk that was nearly as good was Shaun of the Dead." Claudia Puig in USA Today remarks that the film has "some of the same engaging nuttiness" as the earlier one. Kevin Crust in the Los Angeles Times notes that the filmmakers don't simply string gags together as their American counterparts did with such films as the Scary Movie series. Instead, he says, they're "storytellers who weave their naughty bits into genuine characters and a plot. It's a ridiculous plot, but one that's absolutely in the spirit of the films they're satirizing." But Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post suggests that the movie may be ill-timed. "Blacksburg is still numb. The rest of us are still reeling. And Hot Fuzz, which pokes fun at America's fetishistic gun culture while deliriously wallowing in it, now arrives on screens striking a tone of antic overkill that, from its giddy lock-and-load sight gags to its climactic shootout on a placid village green, right this minute seems oddly tone-deaf and tasteless."

This movie is f***ing funny!Period!
