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.

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 is an absolute masterpiece. I have seen this movie many times. Every time I rewatch it I am able to uncover more layers of hidden jokes. The way the story is told is creative and interesting, from the transitions to the remarkable facial ranges used in the main actor. This movieThis movie is an absolute masterpiece. I have seen this movie many times. Every time I rewatch it I am able to uncover more layers of hidden jokes. The way the story is told is creative and interesting, from the transitions to the remarkable facial ranges used in the main actor. This movie frequently takes my number one spot for favorite movie and is very deserving of the spot. It is sad to see that many people don't know it exists or the jokes fly over the heads of the people I show this to, but to someone who can see deeper into what is being said, it is very very entertaining.… Expand

This is a great movie that I thoroughly enjoyed. While being made by the same people as Shaun of the Dead, it is not the same kind of humour and really shouldn't be compared with. This is an english spoof of cop movies, while the other is a spoof of zombie movies. Not exactly comparable.This is a great movie that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Anyway, see this movie and Shaun of the Dead, then the next movie they make, which I believe has something to do with a spoof of space invaders or something.… Expand

[***SPOILERS***] During the first half I kept thinking, "British humor can be funny, but so far this is not". Then Simon opens up the weapons cache room and gets a white horse.

In spite of all the shooting and mayhem, the death toll is low and the laughs are super. There are many little zany moments (stopping for the bird, drop-kicking the old lady with the shotgun, was it a real town in miniture?) You have to see it to believe it, and then you aren't totally sure about everything that happened.… 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.
