Critic Reviews
Everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can't accomplish straight.
Read the full reviewWright and Pegg are storytellers who weave their naughty bits into genuine characters and a plot. It's a ridiculous plot, but one that's absolutely in the spirit of the films they're satirizing.
Read the full reviewIn the very funny cop comedy Hot Fuzz, overachieving London police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) commits a very British sin: He's too good.
Read the full reviewReally, do we need another dumb action movie to remind us how dumb action movies are?...Yes. We absolutely do.
Read the full reviewA sustained genre parody that's equally funny but (maybe in deference to the genre) much more pumped up.
Read the full reviewSince Mr. Wright and Mr. Pegg are essentially parodying self-parodies, they have also smartly kinked up their conceit by setting most of the film in a sleepy village that might as well be called Ye Old English Towne, thereby wedding one of the most irritating British exports to one of the most absurd American ones. Think of it as "The Full Monty" blown to smithereens.
Read the full reviewPlays like two films in one, and succeeds on both levels.
Read the full reviewIt's to the "Lethal Weapon" movies what left-hand driving on a country lane is to a freeway chase: pokey, more than a little daft, but with a bloody surprise around every hedge.
Read the full reviewA little too long and suffers from a sagging midsection when the level of exposition becomes laborious, but the spectacularly entertaining final 30 minutes compensates for a lot of flaws.
Read the full reviewHot Fuzz deploys the same mix of genre conventions, slapstick and old-school British humor that made "Shaun of the Dead" such a dumb-but-good romp.
Read the full reviewThough it's no "Monty Python," Hot Fuzz is a clever, over-the-top marriage of mayhem and merriment.
Read the full reviewAll the action is staged with energy, but it gets relentless without anything really funny going on.

"This is a mindless violent movie with very few comedic scenes. A number of people walked out of the theater when I viewed it."
hot fuzz!
"one of my top 5 movies! loved every minute of it!"
Love what these guys are doing... not as good as Shaun of the Dead
"Hot Fuzz is a great movie and a perfect satire of cop/action flicks. In the mold of Shaun of the Dead, the film will keep you laughing... constantly... as long as you have an appreciation of what the filmmakers are trying to accomplish. I loved the movie and I wonder what's next for Wright and Pegg. Hope it's not a romantic comedy, although i'm sure they would pull it off and mke it hilarious"
a clever film....if you like that sort of thing.
"I enjoyed Shaun of The Dead, so when I heard about Hot Fuzz I knew it was something that I wanted to see. I know when the filmmakers were making this movie they did not have me in mind (A 25 year-old African-American woman), but it hit the spot non-the less! It is clever and well paced and I can't wait for the next project from these guys!"
AWESOME!
"This is one of my favorite movies of the year! It's so much fun and it's so funny!"

Fuzzalicious
"Absolutely Hilarious and a must-see if youre in the mood for some laughs."
great weekend activity
"Saw it earlier today and am still chuckling from many of the scenes. I highly recommend, see it this weekend!"
Edgar Wright For President
"With Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright has cemeted his place as one of the best young comedic directors working today. Just like SOTD, Hot Fuzz is a masterstroke of parody and comedic influence come together to make a hilarious movie unto itself. I highly recommend it for fans of 80s and 90s action movies as well as anyone who wants to laugh hysterically."
