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 everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superio...( read more

January 22, 2008"Hot Fuzz" delivers when it comes to being a stand-alone action-comedy, but also stands out when it comes to being a fun & free-wheeling homage to the critically-acclaimed/denounced action-comedy genre.

September 30, 2009After their zombie parody, the people behind "Shaun of the dead" are now making fun of police and action films. Packed with great British actors down to the smallest roles the film easily takes on all stereotypes and throws them into the mix. The seriousness of Simon Pegg's main ...( read more)

September 19, 2009Golden! Clearly made by people who know their cop movies. Shaun of the Dead was very good, but Hot Fuzz was even better. You'll laugh whether you get all the movie references or not.
-
September 7, 2009Good fun but at two hours, it's a bit self-indulgent. It's not a touch on Shaun of the Dead either. A good Brit comedy all the same!
-
July 22, 2009Hot Fuzz satirizes American action films in a way that an American satire would not. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg don't simply spoof the plot threads and the car chases. They know the smaller details of Hollywood's formula, as they exemplify with its continuous references to the s...( read more)

November 17, 2009A great follow up to Shaun of the Dead and is just as funny. While this is more of a true spoof film, it does it with style. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have such great chemistry between each other and really make it an above average comedy. Edgar Wright's style is always fun to wa...( read more)

November 16, 2009Better than Shaun of the Dead, a supposedly unaccomplishable goal matched! Simon Peg and Nick Frost are gold and a bunch of other great cameos in it as well.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though it's no Monty Python, Hot Fuzz is a clever, over-the-top marriage of mayhem and merriment. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
What will Wright and Pegg set their targets for next? I don't know, but I'll be watching. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Although Hot Fuzz is a good 30 minutes too long (the ending -- or endings -- are endless), it is also good for long stretches of laughs. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
Like "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz" is distinguished by the sweetness of its parody. This is not the work of hyper-referencing wiseass geeks, and there may be no more purely enjoyable movie now playing. full review

Hot Fuzz may not quite hit the same level of raucous mayhem [as Shaun of the Dead]. But I think it's even sharper and funnier, and Wright and Pegg never run out of ideas. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
An exuberant, ultraviolent and uproarious satire. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Hot Fuzz is fun, and it's nice to see all the English character actors who aren't busy in Harry Potter films, but it lacks its predecessor's freshness. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Wright brings you close to the characters as well as to the action. It makes all the difference, as the dream team of Pegg and Frost lace the mayhem with mirth. It's a blast. full review

September 27, 2007Hopefully the fact that many American's may think it's a waste of time won't stop people from seeing this. Shaun of the Dead is still superior but this... is still clever stuff.
Plus, hey! It's Simon frigging Pegg! *sighs* -
September 17, 2007the shooting scene was sooooo funny, and in the grocery store when the girl comes and tries to kill someone....LMAO
