Hot Fuzz

Just when the art of movie spoofing was getting old, along comes a movie that takes that notion and throws it out the window. Hot Fuzz is a fantastic movie that will have you rolling with laughter. From the creators of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz brings that British humor that makes the movie even funnier.

Director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) brings his same style of chop and clip to this movie. With the 3 to 5 second montages of a scene that makes you wonder what the hell is about to happen know. Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead, MI 3) takes the lead again in the British cop movie. Pegg plays a overachieving special forces officer that takes his job way too seriously. Pegg and Wright were also the masterminds behind this movie. Taking the part of the sidekick is Nick Frost, who plays an officer from the country that doesn’t have too much expierence and is wowed by the presence of Pegg’s character. Bill Nighy (Underworld), Martin Freeman (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) make cameo roles in Hot Fuzz.

Hott Fuzz is a movie about Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg) who is basically making his unit look bad because of all the arrests and accomplishments he keep getting. Not knowing how to turn off being an officer, his Chief (Nighy) sends him to the country town of Sanford, a place where his talents won’t be so embarrassing. Once in Sanford, Angel is partnered with Danny Butterman (Frost), a huge action movie fan, who hangs on every word Angel says and asks him questions about all he has done. With the help of Butterman, Angel starts to settle down in the small town. The town of Sanford which has been crime-free for years starts to having a series of murders happen. With the police force not knowing how to handle the murders Angel starts to come back to his old self.

Hot Fuzz is a movie that will have you talking about it for months to come after you see it.

Hot Fuzz gets a 4 out of 5.

This is definitely a must own. If you like Shaun of the Dead, see Hot Fuzz in the theaters.
