Hot Fuzz

[Plane Sailing]

I saw it last Saturday with my wife, and I thought it was pretty good. I don't know how well the humour will travel, but I found plenty to laugh at in the script, the concepts and those film homages that I noticed (I'm sure that there were plenty that I didn't notice).

So what do you think?

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but not quite as much as "Shaun of the Dead". I found that while it was more consistently funny, there weren't so many outrageously funny moments. Nothing to match the 'Don't Stop Me Now' scene, for example.

I thought it was great, and rated it an 8.

 

[Hand of Evil]

it was very enjoyable.

I gave it a 9. I thought it was even funnier than Shaun.

I'm dying to see it.

I thought Shaun of the Dead was a riot.
As a police officer, I can't wait to see how they make fun of the job. I generally like the humor found in movies and television shows from the UK. I don't always get the references specific to British culture, but I get enough of them to be entertained.
When I was in high school, my friends and I used to stay up late to watch The Young Ones on MTV. I really liked the one where Neil(the hippy) joined the police force. By the way, that is not what motivated me to become a police officer.

I saw it late last night with my sister. It was a laugh fest.

I thought it was absolutely fantastic and so has everyone I know who has seen it. I thought the humor travelled well, though I am sure there are tons of things in there I just don't see. The whole 'The Greater Good' mantra, the action-cop-movie meets Tea-Cozy-Murder-Mystery thing was fantastic.

I'm really pleased that it's travelling well.

I bask in its reflected glory. Or something
