What to Know

Critics Consensus

The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody.

What makes Wright & Co.’s buddy-cop goof so spot-on is that, like their previous take on splatter flicks, the pair share an affection for -- and thorough knowledge of -- cineplex cheese with their film-geek fan base. Go to Full Review Dana Stevens Slate 08/18/2007
It's such a vibrant goof, so full of love both for the movies and for its cast of ridiculous characters that you forgive it the odd soggy stretch. Go to Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 07/19/2007
With a fine image and sound transfer and a worthwhile collection of hearty extras, Hot Fuzz is now in the running for the title of DVD of the Year. Go to Full Review Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews 01/18/2025
4.5/5
"Hot Fuzz is a masterclass in comedy filmmaking, with a razor-sharp script and pitch-perfect performances that keep the laughs rolling." Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 03/08/2024
4/4
This is great filmmaking and storytelling that just so happens to allude to other action movies in its construction. And quite frankly, it’s greatly entertaining in both the comedic and action realms, far surpassing its referenced sources. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 04/14/2023
... the madcap shoot-outs that erupt in the cute little country village... is both a surreal parody of urban action spectacle and seventies TV cop clichés and a marvelous bit of comic action in its own right. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Oliver C @slimjim123 Feb 23 Amazing movie! Peak Cornetto trilogy See more Michael G. @gehrigsanders Jan 11 Short list for funniest movie ever, and I don’t even love the “buddy cop” genre it lampoons so well. Tremendously clever See more Sophia D @RT29414370 Dec 9 An absolute delight of a movie. The writing is so quick witted and the pacing is perfect for me. the directing style was so unique and would make this a fun rewatch. The story was well put together and at the same time very unique and fun. The acting was great and Simon Pegg was the perfect straight man for this type of film. I was lucky enough to watch this with someone who is a huge fan which goes to show how rewatchable it is. Even knowing the twist at the end doesn't deter you from throwing it on. I highly recommend if you get the chance as it is a great watch. See more valerie ann e @RT19254844 Dec 2 Splendid!!! Didn't think the story would be that fascinating 🤩 See more Henna T @RT76532602 Dec 2 My favourite type of British comedy with a lot of dry humour. I liked the length of the film even though I started/stopped it several times due to my ADHD. I thought the who dun it plot was done well especially because it's so common and often poorly done in comedies. I found the representation of the police to be hilarious and they really did nail the presentation of the police force in the UK in terms of their differing personalities and approach which is a balance between serious/comical.  See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 27 You have to watch it after Shaun of the Dead, because the cast is basically the same. This movie was so fast, it made my dizzy. So much going on. It was cool. See more Read all reviews
