Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright's follow-up to his extremely popular zombie satire Shaun of the Dead (2004), improves on the latter's strong points in every conceivable way while drastically tightening up its weakest elements.
April 24, 2007
Wright and Pegg have topped Shaun of the Dead by trans(atlantic)planting a whole gaggle of genres.

Though it's no Monty Python, Hot Fuzz is a clever, over-the-top marriage of mayhem and merriment.

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.
April 29, 2014
It's a perfect spoof of the once popular action genre, that's highlighted by the chemistry of Pegg and Frost.
August 18, 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.

The movie duly quickens into pursuits of every speed, and the homage to action thrillers is there in the smallest detail; the clicking of a ballpoint pen, say, is amplified to sound as menacing as the cocking of a gun.

Manages to find humor not just in the mundane existence of a small town but also in the overblown nature of action films. And, it works as an action movie on its own.
April 21, 2007
Because this culture-clash comedy has real characters, a real story and a real big payoff, the two-hour length is a light sentence.

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.
April 21, 2007
Hot Fuzz is everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can't accomplish straight.
