'A movie worth catching up on

Rating: 8/10 (24 December 2011)

If you did not see this movie when it came out in theater or when it was released on DVD/Blue ray, it's not too late. The Simon Pegg and Nick Frost duo is a pleasure to watch. Earlier this year I watched "Paul" and after enjoying the antics of the pair, I wanted to see more. I recalled having seen promos that featured the two, and Hot Fuzz was what I promised myself to watch. For the record, the voice-over of the alien by Seth Rogen in 'Paul' was an important factor for my liking that movie but I was curious to see Pegg & Frost as a team again. I was not disappointed, 'Hot Fuzz' had quite a cast, if you're familiar with UK actors, and the writing was pretty darn god, so was the directing; the production was understandably a hit and gladly, my usual sources for ratings and reviews all score it way above average.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are well rounded actors; when serious actors take to doing comedy (let's say Hot Fuzz is primarily a comedy) good things can happen. Frost happens to be in a favorite movie of mine, "The Boat That Rocked" so the more reason for the interest I had for the movie. I'll go out on the limb and say more people have seen it that would care to acknowledge. I don't think there's anything embarrassing in admitting you liked this movie, it's well done and the dialogue is just the type of humor that makes you feel smart; let me clarify: Some comedies will make you appear intellectually challenged because the humor is not routed in sophisticated thought, while other comedies such as this one, are. One more thing, in addition to a pretty good comedy, you get a fair murder caper; it's a good deal, get it, watch it.
