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.

... 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.

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.

Yet another excellent mélange of movie genres from Britain’s team of Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

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.

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.

Past a certain point, one requires more from smart and enthusiastic fans than a reiteration of their fanhood.

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.
07/19/07
Edgar Wright and co. aim their blazing automatics directly at the insularity, small-mindedness and tacit bigotry of little Britain.
07/09/07
Hilarious and intelligent in every frame, the brilliance of "Hot Fuzz" is simply arresting.
06/10/07
Pegg in a stellar comic performance lifts the film from being a mere applaudable satire to a first-class entertainment. Imagine Jimmy Stewart in "Animal House" or Steve McQueen in "Road Trip."

Hot Fuzz n'a donc rien à envier aux productions dont il soutire ses grandes lignes, lesquelles servent généralement un récit qui a le culot de se prendre au sérieux
05/19/07
The dialogue is packed with jokes and the script is packed with subtle sight gags and references to other cop movies.
05/14/07
The soaring, rocking climax more than justifies any pacing issues mid-movie and pays off perfectly with the same winking deftness that Arrested Development episodes exhibited when tying multiple lines together.
05/06/07
Wright and Pegg have clearly done their homework; their familiarity with action movie cliches is deep enough that they don't always have to go for the easy or obvious joke.
05/05/07
The characters are more fully rounded than the heroes of the Bruckheimer films being aped.
05/02/07
After seeing Hot Fuzz I doubt it'll be possible to keep a straight face during a Michael Bay movie again --assuming one could ever do such a thing in the first place.
