This movie cracked me up! It ROCKS! A big city (London) cop gets sent to the country (Stanford), let the laughs begin. The humor varies. Everything thing from slap stick jokes to more subtle humor. Much of the humor comes from making fun of themselves and the genre Hot Fuzz represents (buddy cop movies). I found references to Lethal Weapon, Point Break, Bad Boys 2, and He-Man! This movie is not just a reference fest. It has a lot of humor as well. The movie also flows better than Shaun Of The Dead (same guys), which I also loved. This movies feels like a movie fan made it. I think that is some of the appeal. You know how Scary Movie is to Scream is to the horror genre? I would put this more towards Scream than Scary movie except towards action buddy cop movies instead of horror movies. In other words, it is funny and original, but not over the top and overly stupid.
Good:
Hilarious. References to other movies.
Bad:
I am sure there is something. Oh, you will want to see it again!
Comments:
Soundtrack rocks.
Recommendations:
Theater! Go see it. It has been a long time (EuroTrip) since a movie has been so good that I wanted to rewind and watch again.
