Hot Fuzz

I didn't find Hot Fuzz as riotously funny as Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz has much more subtle humor, mostly irony created by the totally metropolitan Angel trying to fit in to a small town lifestyle. But Hot Fuzz has a much more intelligent plot than Shaun of the Dead. Angel has a real mystery to solve, and the crime elements do enough to keep your interest in place of the morezany humor of Pegg's previous films.

Pegg and Frost continue to play amazingly well against each other, and the rest of the big names in the cast create an atmosphere of mystery and collusion that support the more serious side of the plot. But don't take Hot Fuzz too seriously or the corny ending will seem out of place.
