Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost

Pegg’s previous film with Frost and director Edgar Wright, the zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, exploded on DVD after barely making a dent at the box office; we’re expecting the same kind of post-theatrical success for this oh-so-British take on the most American of film genres: the buddy-cop action flick. The movie’s good-natured jabs at Hollywood stereotypes and conventions are some of the funniest moments we’ve seen on film in recent years, but that doesn’t take away anything from the action. Hot Fuzz will fit right in (even alphabetically!) between Bad Boys and Lethal Weapon.
