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.

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

J.R. Jones

The good humor bubbles up from a deep reservoir of affection for Hollywood schlock. Read full review

Chris Kaltenbach

It's not hard to imagine these characters in a straight-faced Hollywood blockbuster. And that's the source of Hot Fuzz's genius, pointing out the thin line that separates convention from farce when Hollywood starts throwing its special effects around. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

If you see Hot Fuzz, you'll never again watch a Michael Bay film without howling with disrespectful laughter. Read full review

Stephanie Zacharek

At once deeply affectionate and sharply observed: There's never anything smart-alecky about Wright's approach as a director. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

The most originally funny movie to hit U.S. screens in a while. Read full review

Rick Groen

With Hot Fuzz, you'll just have to settle for semi-hilarity. Read full review

Ray Bennett

All the action is staged with energy, but it gets relentless without anything really funny going on. Read full review

This movie was a big disappointment. I loved Shaun of the Dead and this film was no where as good. I wish I didn't see the trailer for this film, because then a lot of the jokes would of been fresh. When I saw SOTD, I didn't know anything about it except that my friends loved it. This movie was a big disappointment. I loved Shaun of the Dead and this film was no where as good.

I'm sure if I saw the trailer for SOTD, it would of spoiled half that movie for me as well. Overall, this movie was humorous, but I thought it spent way too much time trying to make fun of Michael Bay and other action junky directors like him. It should of just made a good action film with loads of laughs. That's where SOTD succeeded and Hot Fuzz failed. SOTD made a regular zombie movie that was "laugh out loud" funny. Also, the supporting cast of this film was annoying and no where close to being funny. The only funny moments came from the two main characters, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. SOTD's supporting cast helped make a more interesting and entertaining film.… Expand

One of the worst films I've ever seen. The slam-bang editing was used to cover up the fact that nothing interesting, talented or funny was going on. It has an overbearing sound mix from hell. A total assault on my senses and sensibilities. Now original wit or creativity at all. One of the worst films I've ever seen.
