Hot Fuzz: ultra-rare action-comedy that doesn't suck

2007's Hot Fuzz, the second movie in director Edgar Wright's Cornetto trilogy, is a straight-up comedy, the first I've written up in this space.

Following up a cult comedy hit like Shaun Of The Dead was a tough call but co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright triumph here. Part two in their 'Cornetto trilogy' (Part three, The World's End, is out in August) casts Pegg as an eager-beaver cop whose over-achievement makes him unpopular with colleagues. Shipped off to a sleepy backwater and teamed with a laid-back bozo (Frost), he is surprised to find village life isn't as innocent as it first seems.

A comedy that gets funnier every time you rewatch it, this brilliantly parodies Hollywood studio action buddy-movies such as Bad Boys. We love that its sole raison d' être was allowing Pegg and Frost to live their movie dream of getting to shoot guns in both hands while leaping in slow motion.
