This movie is one of the rare British comedys, not written by Americans! br /There are some quite violent scenes, so if you don't find grannys shooting funny, well don't watch it! For the rest of us....it's a great comedy movie to watch with friends (maybe not some family). br / br /go on....you know you want to buy it! :P br / br /you won't be disappointed!
Spoofing the cop/action films January 25, 2008

Having produced a very funny (and bloody) spoof of the zombie/horror genre in "Shaun of the Dead", the same team now turn their attention to police/action films in "Hot Fuzz" and with even funnier (though equally bloody) results. br /Constable Nick Angel is an over-achieving London policeman whose arrest record is making his colleagues look bad. So he is promoted to sergeant - and transferred to picturesque and sleepy Sanford, where nothing happens. Only it does, quite frequently, and under the noses of a complacent local force who have a knack of explaining away every violent death as accidental, whatever the circumstances. Clearly there is a serial killer on the loose, and Sgt. Angel determines to find out who it is, no matter what. He has plenty of suspects to choose from (Timothy Dalton with a moustache? Must be a baddy. But what about...). To make progress he must deal with the police's official inertia, the well-intentioned help of a sidekick whose enthusiasm outruns his ability, the attitude of a country community to outcomes poking their nose in, and some language difficulties (is it really English that farmer is speaking?). br /Almost every trope, every cliche of action and police movies is spoofed as the film builds to its over-the-top climax and beyond. All in all an excellent film. br /
 By turns hilarious and creepy January 25, 2008

this is a little hit and miss. Some of the set piece gags, especially the vaulting over the back garden fence routine, were priceless. Some of the gory death scenes, especially the falling masonery thing, we could have done without. On the whole, an interesting successor to Shaun of the Dead, just not quite in the same cult class.

This is an intelligent British spoof cop film. It is rather different from American spoof movies, the list of which is almost endless and which rely on rather cheap gags, all the way back to Airplane and Naked Gun. This film has a proper plot line which is at the same time quite clever and in the end too ridiculous for words. Having a proper plot line means that (unlike American films) it can't be "laugh-a-minute" all the way through but instead has to lay the seeds of its jokes subtly during the first half before starting to bring them out in spectacular bloom during the second half. This means that the first half is funny (there is a good scattering of cheap gags all the way through), but feels a little slow, whereas the second half (definitely the last half hour) will leave you in stitches - but of course only if you have paid careful attention to the "set ups" in the first half. br / br /This film pushes the boundaries of spoof movies and brings them home to Britain in a way that Hollywood could never do and certainly with jokes that many people outside Britain just would not get. Watch out in particular for the hint of "forbidden love" between the two cops and a subtle joke on Timothy Dalton's chin right at the end...
