Hot Fuzz (2007)

The creative team who brought you Shaun of the Dead are back, without their zombies. What they did bring was twisted respect for Dirty Harry movies. What did that translate into? According to their own claim in the special features, a whole new genre of cop movies. Did they succeed? You decide.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as more or less complete opposite police officers in a small English village outside London. They come up against a very unusual set events, all while trying to figure out what kind of cops, and men, they really are.

Along the way, with the help of some extreme harsh editing (I used to call this MTV editing), the boys learn all sorts of things in some very funny, very graphic, ways. While this movie is very different from Shaun, the sense of humor and fun is clearly the same.

Watch this movie with someone who is obsessed with cop-buddy movies.
