Hot Fuzz

Pros: Some really wild tongue-in-cheek humor.
Cons: Much too violent for the younger set. Save this one for the adults.

I confess that I do like action films at times, especially when they don't take themselves too seriously. In the Metropolitan Police, there is Nick Angel (Simon Pegg), a cop who is absolutely determined to do his very best at being the very best cop ...

Pros: Very entertaining movie.
Cons: Some slower spots.  Very violent at times.

British humor is a bit different and not all people get it.  I tend to like the British comedies that I see.  I can't remember when I first heard about Hot Fuzz.  I saw some of it on HBO one night and really enjoyed what I ...

Pros: writing, Pegg and Frost, a wealth of DVD bonus features
Cons: excess of violences, however cartoonish, and 121 minutes is a long running-time for a comedy

Many popular comedies seem more stupid than funny to me. I thought that Edgar Winter's send-up and zombie movies "Shaun of the Dead" was somewhat funny along with being very gory and had my doubts about "Hot Fuzz." Let me say up front that is also very ...

Pros: Frost, Pegg, Broadbent, overall Britishness
Cons: profanity and violence

Earlier this year, I saw a preview for a British comedy that looked like it would be hilarious if only I could get past the violence, but it was my brother, who'd never heard of it before, who got to it first. As soon as he saw it, Nathan declared ...

Pros: Delightful British Black Comedy sending up Cop Movies.
Cons: Shaun of the Dead was funnier. Its hard to top yourself.

Hot Fuzz (2007) Directed by Edgar Wright. Written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg. Hot Fuzz is the story of overachiever Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg, Shaun of the Dead), top officer of the Metropolitan Police Service. Officer Angel is so ...

Pros: Excellent writing, solid acting, interesting special effects, FUNNY.
Cons: Hard to follow sometimes.

I am going to make a confession early here. I laugh at British humor. Hot Fuzz isn't necessarily Monty Python humor, but this film teems with the same dry drama-humor that you find in his work. Some people might find this film as bland as ...

Pros: A good flick with some interesting twists
Cons: Not hilarious like it was made out to be; excessive gore; long setup

I recently rediscovered the magic that is the library—free rental on books, music, and CDs. Take that Blockbuster. Like most people, I’d seen the trailers for Hot Fuzz and thought, “Oh man, that looks funny.” After all, it was ...

Pros: Funny, Simon Pegg, Funny
Cons: None !

Before I start writing this review in earnest, I am going to make a bit of an admission. I am a huge fan of Simon Pegg! There I have done it, admitted that if he turned up on my doorstep, I would have to seriously restrain myself haha. Following on ...

Pros: Great, off-beat story. Beautiful filming. Hilarious. Many extra features.
Cons: Still scratchin' my head...

The British accents (and settings) became immediately apparent, as I popped the HD-DVD into my Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD player. This was a surprise to me, as all I recalled reading about in the ...

Pros: entertaining, original
Cons: didn't quite hold my attention, quite a lot of violence

Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the cream of the London police force…er…police service, that is, force is such a strong word. At any rate, Angel excels at everything he does in the line of duty and has devoted his life to that duty even to ...

Pros: Excellent acting,hilarious plot developments make this a laugh-out-loud, thrill-a-minute ride.
Cons: Some examples of gore might make it a little too frightening for children.

Hot Fuzz is one of those genre-bending movies. It's one part crime thriller, one part gross-out and one big part comedy. Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg, "Sean of the Dead")is a by-the-book London cop. He can recite the whole of the written ...

Pros: Humor, Action, General storyline
Cons: Minor characters, Antagonists

At first "Hot Fuzz" seemed like a rip-off of "Super Troopers" to me. It was a good thing I was wrong! The movie follows the career of Nicolas Angel, a constable whose career had just been moved from London to small town Sanford. Upon arrival he is ...

Pros: very well plotted
Cons: a bit too long

Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is an overachiever. He’s so good at his job as a Metropolitan Police Officer the rest of the department looks shabby in comparison. For that reason, he’s transferred to the sleepy village of Sandford. The slower pace of ...

Pros: story, cast, action, settings, soundtrack
Cons: no mushy love story

I recently saw this on a first date with my current boyfriend. I was hoping a movie without a mushy love story and what I got was 10X better than I could have asked for. Hot Fuzz takes place in Europe, begining in London and then moving to the ...

Pros: Hilarious!
Cons: Strong language

One day several months ago I watched "Shaun of the Dead" because it was the only thing on TV. And I LOVED it. So when I came across an online preview for "Hot Fuzz" and saw that it was made by and starring the same people, I couldn't wait to watch it. ...
