Hot Fuzz (2007)
Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

This is a decent comedy/action film with some funny moments, but it does feel a bit long and the jokes get old after a while. Not nearly as good as Shaun of the Dead but still worth a watch if you're a big fan of his other movies.
Every time I watch Edgar Wright's satirical masterpiece - which I've seen many, many times to the point where I can almost quote it verbatim and I'm still not tired of it, I find some clever little detail that I previously missed and the feature has me laughing not only at the jokes that always work but also at the ones I didn't even notice before. That's just how meticulously thought-out and devilishly well-made 'Hot Fuzz (2010)' really is, working on multiple levels each as successfully as the last, and it's also the thing that most closely ties the 'Cornetto trilogy' together. The flick is simultaneously a hilarious comedy, a successful spoof, an exciting action-thriller, a believable buddy-cop 'bromance', a fish-out-of-water tale and a dark detective drama. Every frame of film and every word of the screenplay feels like they've been wholly controlled by masters of the craft to create the ultimate viewing experience of this kind and one of the best films ever made. 10/10
The film that has received more viewings from me than any other film. Perhaps being a West Country girl, I love the area of its filming and the over exaggerated dialogue. Simon Pegg is a comedy genius and this is his comedy masterpiece, paired again with Nick Frost, everything has been thrown in to the plot, with plenty of laughs and famous faces.
It is just an average time pass movie. Nothing special, nothing incredibly funny (which some other reviews incredibly suggest), and no strong plot. Just watchable for passing time when there is nothing else to do.
