hot fun

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2008)

After reading the reviews posted here I'm not sure why I should bother to add my two cents. This was positively one of the very funniest movies I've ever seen, and the people who say you have to view it more than once to catch all the references are absolutely right. I watched it with one friend then showed it to another and then to my husband and each time I caught more than before. Every time my husband and I sit down to watch a movie I ask him what he's in the mood for and he always says: something funny, with car chases and shooting and explosions. Finally I found one movie that actually fits his bill to a T. Simon Pegg is without a doubt one of the funniest up and comers and everyone seems to agree, but don't discount Nick Frost. His show Hyperdrive was a lot funnier than I had hoped or expected. They each bring something to the table and fit together like a glove humor-wise. See Hot Fuzz no matter what you thought of Spaced or Shaun of the Dead. You won't be sorry. One thing to bear in mind, I noticed that people who didn't like it probably didn't get it because they aren't British. I appreciate those who mention Midsomer Murders. Not a comedy, but shows the importance of fetes and best village contests. Brits (at least TV ones take this stuff seriously, real seriously, like they'd murder for it seriously). And the rest who didn't like it just need to loosen up and let themselves be entertained. One person mentioned recognizing a joke as a joke but couldn't laugh. This makes no sense whatsoever. If it's a joke release the laughter and this movie is definitely to be laughed at and with. This movie is for fun, hot fun. So enjoy your popcorn and enjoy the movie and please, most of all, feel free to laugh.
