What a laugh out loud movie

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2007)

Being a fan of the creators of Shaun of the Dead and Spaced I was looking forward to going to see this film. But I was also wondering whether the boys had lost their touch. I did not need to wonder any more.
The film is wonderfully funny and consists of great one liners to full blown comedy moments.
Like Shawn of the Dead this film is not a spoof film like the rubbish Scary Movie. Hot Fuzz is more of a parody of big action Police movies like Bad Boys 2.
The other really good thing about this film is the acting standard both Simon Pegg and Steve Frost are fantastic. Simon plays the straight laced, by the book police officer with a bit of a sense of humour by-pass. Steve Frosts character is the laid back slob with dreams of being a sharp shooting police officer. The chemistry between them both is wonderful and helps to raise the film from a good movie to an excellent film.
The other cast members are also really good, Timothy Dalton plays the slimy supermarket owner wonderfully.
The only small problem I have with the movie is the ending was possibly 10 minutes too long, but what the hell there was still plenty to laugh through.
If you want to have a good laugh go and see this movie, terrific!
