Hot Fuzz (DVD, 2007, Widescreen)

My husband bought Hot Fuzz, and it just sounded totally unappealing. I mean, like Sgt Angel, I find the word "fuzz" to be just....disrespectful. So I figured another night watching some lame arse so-called comedy.

When I found it out was a Brit-com, though, my ears perked up, and when I found out it was the same crew from Shaun of the Dead, I was ready to watch.

The movie starts out kind of slow, and not much better than a generic American comedy, but we were having fun playing "gosh, who was that?" This film is chock full of British actors you've seen, but can't quite place, including Filch, The Equalizer, and others.

The one that I completely didn't recognize, and who blew me away, was Bond-stallion Timothy Dalton, who just gloriously chewed through the role of a shady, menacing grocery store owner.

About a third into the movie, I started laughing, and was still laughing when the credits rolled, and even afterwards. Funniest movie I've seen in a long, looooong time. Hot Fuzz lampoons everything, and everyone.

In the spirit of Shaun of the Dead, there's a lot of very creative gore, but completely in fun and silliness. I can't say my favorite scenes for fear I'll ruin it for someone else, but I tell you what. These actors had a blast making this movie, and it shows.

This was not only a funny movie, but a FUN movie to watch. I envy these guys. They seem to really enjoy their job, and I enjoyed watching them enjoy it. When oh when will their next one be out? I can't wait!!!!

A funny funny movie. Will be forcing it on all my friends and demanding they watch.
