Action Movies Are So Funny We Remember To Lauch

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2007)

I like make laugh when action movie so stupid it make me laugh.
You see the thing with most action movies is they are already funny inherently. I mean Rambo? That's a funny franchise.
No, Bad Boys one and two are not funny even though two supposedly funny men are the stars. And, yes Point Break is funny even though its two stars are far from funny, (though Ted Theodore Logan is pretty darn funny). But none of this has anything to do with how funny "Hot Fuzz!!" is except that the filmmakers love those types of action movies so much they are willing to spoof them in a completely over the top way.
From a ridiculous plot and collection of characters to even more ridiculous directorial techniques from hyper active editing of mundane things to overly wrought sound design the movie makers tapped directly into the hot vein of American action genre films. And it is hilarious.
Whether you love or hate the movies they are spoofing you'll love "Hot Fuzz!!" It's smart in all the right places and completely ludicrous in all the right places which makes for a jolly fun time at the cineplex.
There has been a glut of "spoof" movies from the "Scary Movie" cycle to the horrible "Date Movie". The difference here is this one rides its own merits of story, character and plot while reminiscing about those great to mediocre action movies of the past without simply twisting a scene directly form those movies.
Or simply: these guys are original. Like their last outing, "Shaun of the Dead", they made a movie here with just the right amounts of jokes and didn't rely too much on gags.
A definite must see.
