A waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2013)

Good heavens! Why was this parade of silliness rated so highly by viewers? If you like camp, this is for you. If you like witty comedy, this is most definitely NOT for you. If you liked Porky's or one of it's jejune zombie clones, you'll love this. But if you are looking for anything above Dumb And Dumber (British version), you will be as disappointed as I was.
It does have some clever puns and word twists, which I consider the best part of this whole disaster – rather like saying, 'Yes, the Titanic sunk, but the stars in the sky were crystal clear.' Compared to His Girl Friday...well, it can't be compared. Though an old movie, it was both witty and well-acted, which Hot Fuzz is not. The ending was predictable; the main character's decision mere sentimentality – and also predictable. I do disagree with one reviewer who called it a "bomb". No, it's a dud.
