Review of Hot Fuzz (2007) by Axel K — 12 Mar 2013
It's a dumb movie, but there's a big difference between simply dumb and hilariously dumb and Hot Fuzz certainly belongs to the latter. Edgar Wright knows how to parody stuff and he did it right again with this 2007 cop mockery.
The screenplay is great, the line of high-class British film-stars in the cast is awfully funny, and the numerous running gags and cult film references will give every movie lover a reason to keep Hot Fuzz in their DVD rack.
It does get exaggeratedly dumb at times and 116 minutes are maybe a smidge too long, but that's totally venial, considering how awesome the rest of the movie is.
