http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/HOT-FUZZ--You-have-the-right-to-remain-Entertained.aspx As the gents of AC/DC say, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a long way to the top,&rdquo; and nobody knows that better than PC Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) of London&rsquo;s Metropolitan Police Service. He&rsquo;s worked hard all his life to uphold the law and bust the bad guys, and as a result, his stats are way the hell out in front of everybody else on the force. As his &ldquo;reward,&rdquo; Angel gets a promotion to sergeant, which comes with a surprise: relocation to Sandford, a picturesque, aka deadly dull, village in the middle of nowhere. When Angel arrives, however, he finds that while the crime rate is low, the accident and disappearance rates are astronomically high. With his new partner in crime prevention, PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), Angel decides it&rsquo;s time to dig a little, despite the gentle warnings of his boss (Jim Broadbent) and the derision of everybody else in the department. That is the plot of HOT FUZZ, now out on DVD for fans of English comedy and American action to enjoy. While the plot is invaluable to a review, it doesn&rsquo;t get across what a hoot this movie is, because it&rsquo;s damn funny. Even a casual movie watcher can recognize the love and enjoyment of big, loud action flicks writers Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg squeeze into every frame of this film, especially those of the master, Michael Bay. What&rsquo;s better, everything is filtered through the warped, peculiarly English sensibilities of the same nutjobs who unleashed SHAUN OF THE DEAD on the world a few years ago, which makes them the creators of the best romantic comedy with flesh-eating corpses ever made. HOT FUZZ is part spoof and part homage to the blow-&lsquo;em-up-good genre of action film, and manages to give us a fair dose of gunfire and mayhem in the process. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/HOT-FUZZ--You-have-the-right-to-remain-Entertained.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/02/HOT-FUZZ--You-have-the-right-to-remain-Entertained.aspx#1061 This movie was the bomb!!

No, he's the master of loud action flicks that are unwatchable pieces of crap!<br /><br />And you said "the plot is invaluable to a review". No it isn't. All we need to know is something like : 'This is a cop buddy spoof from the guys who did 'Shaun of the Dead.' We don't need plot details.
