My... Here comes the Fuzz.

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2007)

Half of 2007 has been a year fully loaded with Hollywood remakes and sequels that to the extent takes out my excitement in them. Last year I was looking forward to these films but only ended up with Transformers after hearing these bad reviews from my peers.
Well my interest in movies almost faded out until a friend of mine excitedly telling me about this film. I was like "Ok let's give it a try" and I thought another waste of my time but I was dead wrong. Since then I found myself watching it numerous times already and it became one of my favorite films of all time. So what's the reason behind I loved this movie?
1) It does not depend on massive CGI overused by films nowadays. 2) No cheesy dialogues. 3) Overall dim-witted style of humor. 4) And finally, I seen two of the funniest actors alive. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (I initially thought Pegg here as a real action star, very convincing).
Nicholas Angel (Pegg) an overachiever Policeman Officer was reassigned right after his promotion when his officials felt he was more of a threat to their own carriers. Soon found himself in a boring village called Sandford, became part of a ragtag police force... umm... service and teamed up to a childlike Police Constable Danny Butterman (Frost). Their differences takes most of the first half of the movie and just turn out to be hilarious. The later part consist of gruesome deaths and action packed gun fights which blended very well with the story line. Also, what I found funny here are the reasons behind the deaths of some locals which are very ridiculous compared to a more logical explanation rendered by Angel (well illogical deaths happen a lot in slasher films... correct me if I'm wrong). Though the film took two hours but the unlikely duo will not disappoint you, their mere presence makes the movie entertaining. Trust me they are enjoyable to watch.
For me they totally trashed other promising films this year. Well too many to mention and don't need to enumerate them. The plot if I'm not mistaken is very absurd, too crazy to be true. Though it serves well since its a parody in the first place. But the portrayal of these British actors makes the film believable. They have filled it with so many distinguishable actors that contributed very nicely for the greater good of the film.
Aside from the main characters, my personal favorites if you ask me is the baritone-voiced Simon Skinner (Timothy Dalton) and the jolly yet creepy Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent... he acts so natural that something in him makes me believe he's my own boss at work). LOL. Only few movies can manage to make likable villains.
This film opened my eyes to British comedies and introduced me to my other favorite movie of all time Shaun of the Dead (which is different by comparison and hilarious in its own right). I was disappointed I just known them recently, so I'm already anticipating to their next project since I heard that Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are going to make a follow-up, a Cornetto-Trilogy. Very original.
To sum it up. No doubt this is one of the best movies as far as I can remember and you better not miss this. A classic in the making and will crack you up with laughter. Though you may find it hard to understand British accents but bear with it, you will get used to it and find the humor later after watching it several times and it still comes to be hilarious. Trust me, tested and proved.
