Not the best, not the worst
Added 11/17/2009
Got this free through a Pepsi promotion. I would not have paid money to get this movie. Not really my kind of comedy, but since it was free, it was fun to watch the first time and I'll likely watch it again down the road sometime. It did have it's funny parts though, and the outtakes were fun to watch.

The guys from Shaun of the Dead are at it again. This is easily one of my favorite movies. It has the same type of humor as Shaun but this time instead of a zombie attack, they are cops in a small town. Buy this and watch it. You will laugh a ton without a doubt.

The gore worked for Shaun, but is misplaced in this.

Yes, this film is highly entertaining. But there was really no need to turn it into a gore-fest. Shaun was a zombie flick, and it was expected. But even the most violent cop flicks aren't usually this messy.

Midsomer murders on steroids
Added 10/10/2009
If you are familiar with the writings of Dave Barry then you will be very comfortable with this movie. Dave Barry has the ability to take something that seems so common and straightforward, then slightly exaggerate and embellish and expound until you find yourself in a fantasy and wonder how you got there.
Constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds himself to be too perfect; he is rejected by his girlfriend and banished to the small village of Sandford by his police force community. Here he must adjust to rural life. But is rural life all it seems?
Nikolas is becoming suspicious of a series of accidents and his mind is starting to say murder. Can his newfound friend/coworker, PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) squelch this tendency of Nicholas' to see murder and everything? Or will we be caught up in necklaces fantasy.
-----------------------
I have only seen the Blu-Ray version of this film so I cannot compare contrast to other versions. You guessed it this presentation has all the standard extra goodies voice over's and additions and whatnots. Naturally they all enhance your viewing pleasure and do not distract from the original presentation. However it is the movie we came to see extra goodies are just icing on the cake so when you make your choice don't forget the cake.

Playstation owners bewarned!

Hot Fuzz is a great movie, truly. However despite a sticker on the front of the bluray box proclaiming its compatibility with playstation3 I found that the disc played with the video and audio tracks significantly out of sync. I own one of the original pre-slim PS3s with up-to-date firmware and am using an HDMI cable to the TV. Be aware that if your are using a PS3 to watch this disc you may experience the same problems.
