another overrated movie

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2007)

Hot fuzz is a humorous and light-hearted movie, and I would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone as a good watch. However, i would argue that this is not a brilliant film, and it is at the end of the day, forgettable.
I think this movie has scored so highly because it is so refreshing to see a British comedy that works on the big screen. Ultimately though, you can take your pick from dozens of Hollywood comedies that are simply better than this.....starting with the 40 year old virgin.
I would score this film between 6 and 7.....but i've gone for 6, because 8.2 out of 10 is over the top.
