Go see “Hot Fuzz”
If you're me this is the best movie of the year. This is essentially number 2 film from the same people who did “Shaun of the Dead.” I didn't see SotD because I'm not a fan of horror films so I didn't think I'd get many of the gags. I'm told their were a ton of running gags that were continued from the first film. If that's true the Wright did a great job of fitting them in without disrupting this film, because I never felt like I was the only one not in on the joke.
This film out does it's self. The first half is gentle and engaging, we really learn to like the characters. The second half is hilarious, over the top action made all the more ridiculous because of the unlikely bad guys. I was reminded of the old Tim Conway film “The Detectives.” I really recommend this film.
What about the “R” Rating?
If you don't like violence in your movies or can barely tolerate violence if there is a good plot-understand that this is basically a spoof of violent action films with some other genres thrown in, including horror. The violence is turned up and made fun of.
There's some tough language too.
What if I hate Shaun of the Dead?
You'll hate this movie too.
Larger Story
There is none that I saw. It's just fun.
