Hot Fuzz Review

I generally try to adopt a more professional tone when writing reviews, but the mere mention of Hot Fuzz guarantees my instant transformation into a blithering fangirl.

Simon Pegg! He plays a no-nonsense cop! He's so good at what he does that his bosses transfer him to a quiet little English town because he keeps making them look bad with his relentless butt-kickery!

Nick Frost! He plays the bumbling small-town cop that Pegg's partnered with! He got his job through nepotism and he's a well-meaning doofus that gets into all kinds of hilarious scrapes!

The town has been voted "safest town in England" for, like, forever, but this is threatened when there are some suspicious deaths. They look like accidents, but Pegg is suspicious.

Well, I don't want to give away the farm, so suffice it to say that there are chase scenes and intrigue and a ridiculously ossom shootout in the middle of the town.

But what really makes this film is the tight pacing and witty dialogue -- man, what a well-written film!!

And if you can't laugh and be blown away by it, then we can't be friends.
