Hot Fuzz

Hilarious! I love these guys.

From the makers of Shaun of the Dead comes Hot Fuzz. A police comedy. Big city cop, obsessed with his job gets sent to Po-dunk, England. Hijinks ensue. The filmmakers profit.

The movie opens well. The main character does a bit of narration about his career and training. He then has a funny meeting with some of the higher-ups. He then heads off to Nowheresville. And the movie dies.

The first half of the movie, cutting out the very first 5-10 minutes, is rather boring. It drags, isn't very funny but it's setting the scene. The plot is being established and some chracters fleshed out.

The second half is possibly the greatest movie I have ever seen. Pure genius. Pure hilarity. And non-stop fun. I have a slight qualm with the very ending. The movie could have wrapped up more smoothly without the last explosion. It just felt like they needed to throw in one last gag. They'd brought in this prop early on and needed to use it and this was the best they could come up with.

4 of 5 - Overall, go see it. Slow start but ever so funny in the second half.
