Synopsis:
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer. With an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force, he's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. As a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gun fighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
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."

I grew up in England, and the references to going to the bub all the time is very funny.I liked this movie as much as shawn of the dead.Very well done and full of action, at least at the end.

When I heard that the makers of Shaun of the Dead were behind this movie I had to go see it. I haven't laughed as hard in a film as I did with Hot Fuzz!

Absolutely hilarious!!! The only things that I think would have made it better is... some matrix satire... and less foul language.
