Critics' reviews

"Fuzz never quite achieves the boundless creativity of Shaun, but Wright and Pegg throw every joke they have at the concept until they tickle the audience into giddy submission (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Olly Richards: Empire
"A criminally funny cop movie parody"

Jamie Russell: BBC
"Hot Fuzz is everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can't accomplish straight."

Nathan Rabin: AV Club
"Mr. Pegg and Mr. Frost have an easy, believable rapport that, once it gets cooking, opens up a pocket of sweetness in a film that is otherwise played cool and for laughs"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Hot Fuzz is a little too long and suffers from a sagging midsection when the level of exposition becomes laborious, but the spectacularly entertaining final 30 minutes compensates for a lot of flaws."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"All the action is staged with energy, but it gets relentless without anything really funny going on."

Ray Bennett: The Hollywood Reporter
"Though it's no Monty Python, Hot Fuzz is a clever, over-the-top marriage of mayhem and merriment."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Although Hot Fuzz is a good 30 minutes too long (the ending -- or endings -- are endless), it is also good for long stretches of laughs."

Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer
