  • Starring: Nick Frost, Simon Pegg
  • Summary: In this action-packed comedy from the makers of "Shaun of the Dead," Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is the finest police officer 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. A small village is about to get some big city justice. (Rogue Pictures) Expand

    The best, surely the smartest, English-language movie of the year to date.

    The thrill of Hot Fuzz is the chemistry between Nicholas and local oaf Danny Butterman, who is an action film aficionado and finds Nicholas' stories utterly engrossing.
  4. All the action is staged with energy, but it gets relentless without anything really funny going on.

    Very funny and full of silly and fun action and an impressive storyline makes me want to watch it over and over again.
  2. "Hot Fuzz" blows off the movie core with mind-less action, agreeable humor (that has no penis jokes), and bad ass performances by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Every minute is a blast, every second is worth the watch.

    ! NOTE-I GAVE THE WRONG SCORE FOR THE FIRST ONE!

  3. I honestly thought that there would be no way for them to make a movie as good as Shaun of The Dead but suprisingly they did. Hot Fuzz is a very enjoyable comedy that is definently worth watching, Especially if you like Shaun of The Dead. Expand

    Great premeise, pretty good actors but I fell asleep a couple of times during the movie. I enjoy British comedy but on the laugh meter this movie was mediocre for the amount of laughs it produced. Expand
