In Shaun Of The Dead, Simon Pegg is Shaun. Dumped by his neglected girlfreind, Liz, stuck in a dead-end job and living with his lazy, unemployed freind Ed, Shaun decides he has to turn his moribund life around. Unfortunately, on the day he chooses to begin his new life, multitudes of dead bodies choose to begin theirs too! As a result, London is invaded by hordes of flesh-hungry zombies. With the situation looking increasingly desperate, a hero is needed. Forward, Shaun and save the day! Hot Fuzz has Pegg as the ultimate beat bobby, sergeant Nicholas Angel, the jewel in the crown of the metropolitan police. When Angel becomes so good he embarrasses the rest of the met, however, he is sent to police the quiet, sleepy village of Sandford, where he reuniteds with Shaun of the Dead's Ed, this time Angel's witless partner, constable Danny Butterman, who dreams of high-octane car chases and explosive, gunslinging action. When the pair get suspicious about Sandford's phenomenally low crime rate and oddly high accident rate, these dreams might just become reality!
Simon Pegg is a genius! Both of these films are absolutely hilarious. When I saw Hot Fuzz at the cinema, the entire audience laughed almost continuously! The side-splitting humour never stops but as well as this, both films have a proper plot, action, character development, emotion and everything that goes into a good film. By no means is either simply a slapstick comedy. Very, very highly reccommended!

Not a bad review, but since you say you are reviewing the DVD format, you really need to include info about whether there are any special features included with the DVD, and what they're like. Otherwise, choose film only in the "What format are you reviewing" box.
