Consensus: The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody.

Synopsis: Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's so good, he makes... [More]

Jul 6, 2010
Works because they set out to make a faithful genre picture just as equally as a comedy. The film is even funnier because they never sacrifice plot or character for a laugh.
Jun 9, 2010
From paying homage to Michael Bay's camera motions to kicking an old lady square in the kisser, this film holds nothing back and fires away with tons of laughs.
Apr 18, 2010
There's real fondness not just for the crash-a-tons being referenced, but also for a homey, practically imaginary England
Aug 27, 2009
The opening premise of Hot Fuzz is like the recipe for a simple concept comedy: overachieving cop in underachieving village, and it works to set the all important tone in this funnily ridiculous film.
Oct 18, 2008
The makers of Shaun of the Dead have done it again. This time they have combined a classic cop-buddy movie with a quaint town in England, and yes, laughs definitely ensue.
Sep 4, 2008
It’s overlong and not always precisely on target but neither self-congratulating nor condescending -- and a fine, funny contribution to English-American mutual amusement besides.
Aug 7, 2008
... as if a cop movie spoof had been awkwardly rammed into a seriously splatter film, with a big, violent blowout finale to blur the lines between the two.

... lives up to expectations even if it can't exceed the hype.
Oct 9, 2007
Yet another excellent mélange of movie genres from Britain’s team of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Oct 5, 2007
It's a movie that is literally, painfully funny, insofar as I occasionally laughed so hard that I thought my chest was about to collapse.
Sep 20, 2007
It's such a vibrant goof, so full of love both for the movies and for its cast of ridiculous characters that you forgive it the odd soggy stretch.
Aug 18, 2007
Top CriticPast a certain point, one requires more from smart and enthusiastic fans than a reiteration of their fanhood.
Jul 23, 2007
With a fine image and sound transfer and a worthwhile collection of hearty extras, Hot Fuzz is now in the running for the title of DVD of the Year.
Jul 19, 2007
Mr. Wright is a talented filmmaker who has clearly studied the masters of the genre he's roasting.
Jul 14, 2007
Edgar Wright and co. aim their blazing automatics directly at the insularity, small-mindedness and tacit bigotry of little Britain.
Jul 9, 2007
Hilarious and intelligent in every frame, the brilliance of "Hot Fuzz" is simply arresting.
