Hot Fuzz (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: Superb and very funny comedy!
Disadvantages: Pegg, Frost & Wright have set their own bar higher now!

...a review on the movie HOT FUZZ. The latest collaboration from Simon Pegg, Nice Frost and Edgar Wright. Now, if you have no idea who any of these guys are, I'd suggest you've either been living with your head in the sand or you have no idea who or what is funny in British comedy these days. You might want to stop reading if you believe the pulse of British comedy is Keeping Up Appearances or something along those lines… -------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND ...

Advantages: Top quality viewing
Disadvantages: All over too quickly!

...obvious references to other films, Hot Fuzz uses direct shots from films such as The Shining, Kill Bill and The Omen (amongst others) which add to the cultural richness of this film. When watching it, which you've got to do, look out for these! Or, if you think that's a little bit sad, you could just watch it. ****What other people think**** If you think I sound overly biased (due to my love of British film), it only takes the cracking £7.1 ...

Advantages: Hilarious, Cast of thousands, Great production
Disadvantages: It finished and I had to go to bed

...comes with a pair of Hot Fuzz mirror shades, so you can look like your hero whilst delivering that witty line. I like comedy and, given the choice, would watch it in preference to the classics and this would definitely be one of my Desert Island choices. ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliantly funny, great action scenes
Disadvantages: None

...these) I originally went to see Hot Fuzz at the cinema with The Boyfriend – purely because the ‘chick flick’ I had wanted to see was sold out and The Boyfriend was practically wetting himself with excitement at the thought of seeing this film so I gave in – and I loved it! I know I’ve thoroughly enjoyed a film when I’ve come out of the cinema and spent ages talking about it with whoever I’ve gone to see it with and saying ‘the so and so bit was ... Read review

Advantages: A Great British Comedy
Disadvantages: None

Hot Fuzz is a brilliantly funny British Film. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this film at the cinema when it was first released and were delighted to find that our daughter has purchased the DVD. The film, to me, brought back memories of “The Full Monty” in that it is a hilarious British Comedy with many recognised and excellent actors, like Edward Woodward, Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, and Anne Reid. The film stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost of ... Read review

Advantages: At least they're still working...
Disadvantages: But they seem to have stopped making comedies...

...else is going mental for Hot Fuzz, and I can see why people might be over-generous; there's a lot of goodwilll out there for the Spaced cast and crew, and justifiably so. Spaced was a genuinely charming, innovative and well-constructed bit of kit. Shaun Of The Dead, which Hot Fuzz is inevitably going to be compared with, was a canny extension of the TV show, and played very much to their strengths - quirky, knowing humour, a strong, if not earth-shatteringly ...

This film is a great laugh. Simon Pegg is a legend. Take the time to go through the features on the disk - especially the subtitles by the directors!

Advantages: Great film and good features.
Disadvantages: Few if any.

This is a great DVD with yet another hilarious preformance from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Also known for their parody of dawn of the dead "sawn of the dead". They have done it again with this high hitting comedy. The film is about a very able police officer in london that is sent away to a small peaceful village in the middle of nowhere. But is it so peaceful? Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) doesnt think so. Some violent graphic scenes and language. This ... Read review

Advantages: It's funny and different from most films.. which is ideal for a comedy
Disadvantages: Might not catch on abroad

I liked this film a lot, it's a quality spoof of an American blockbuster style film. The village and the local behaviour of the villagers has a somewhat Midsomer Murder feel to it. I find that you get an immediate insight into the characters and they become like family friends from the start! As some other reviews may have mentioned, it's not non-stop laughter like some other films and does build up like an episode of a murder mystery series sometimes ... Read review

Advantages: Great British cast - hilarious
Disadvantages: Not for those who hate "Silly Movies"

...training for his role in Hot Fuzz but I am curious what training was needed to play Danny Butterman.. (probably a few months at the local). Danny cracks me up as the character who constantly says the wrong thing at, you guessed it, the wrong time; who's answer to most of lifes mysteries is found in double print at the bottom of a pint of lager; and the wide eyed awe as he hero worships Angel (To Angel as he presents a serious rendition of what ...

Advantages: very funny
Disadvantages: the ending drags on

THE FILM IN A NUTSHELL! Top city police officer Nicholas Angel is reassigned to a small village because he is outshowing all the other officers in London. At first he struggles because its a crime free village and he gets stuck with a oafish partner, but as some gruesome deaths take place he refuses to believe that they are accidents and so searches for a link between all of the deaths. Its not long before his partner danny's dreams of high speed ... Read review
