Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz was fantastic. Brought to you by the makers of Shaun of the Dead, I go into this realizing that this movie will not be everyone’s cup of tea. I don’t care. You should all go see it.

Nicholas Angel, played by Simon Pegg, is the best officer in “the service” (we can’t say force b/c it’s too masculine), and because he is making his fellow officers look bad he is transferred to a tiny English village with no crime. There he meets fellow officer Danny Butterman, played by Nick Frost (Ed in Shaun), and proceeds to answer question after question about Angel’s experiences in the cop world versus those in the movies (mainly Point Break and Bad Boys II).

Hilarity ensues. Yes, most will say it is “stupid-funny”, but there were so many clever bits that it all balances out. So, is Angel losing his mind and seeing crimes that aren’t there? Is there a giant conspiracy afoot? It almost doesn’t matter. You just want to watch the characters interact in various situations. It’s brilliant. Go see it as soon as possible.
