Laughed so hard, I cried.

"Where as “Shaun” was 45 percent comedy and 55 percent horror, be aware that “Hot Fuzz” is 60 percent over the top action film, and 40 percent comedy, yet when the crew wants to make the audience laugh, they do so with gags that don't resort to the low brow. “Hot Fuzz” is not a spoof, but their love song to the action genre with their own devices thrown in.
Once again, Wright and crew know their genre, and they know damn well how to compose a beautiful action film that’s over the top without being ridiculous and unique without being absurd. Frost’s one-liners matched with Pegg’s deadpans and double-takes make the film a laugh riot quite often, and they’re the perfect buddy comedy team to head up the film. It's not a surprise the trio are thick as thieves. Pegg and Frost have a wonderful chemistry, while Wright compliments their timing with ace direction.
“Hot Fuzz” is a different kind of film from “Shaun.” It is brighter, much more fast-paced, and Wright’s direction is chaotic. He manages to pay perfect homage, referencing the styles of Tony Scott, John Woo, and Michael Mann, with scenes lifted from “Bad Boys,” and “Point Break,” movies Wright makes a special note of mentioning numerously."

"Hot Fuzz is an awesome parody and celebration of cliché-ridden, melodramatic cop action movies. The commercials and trailers weren’t lying when they stated these guys have seen every cop movie ever made, because most of them are lovingly lampooned for our benefit in Hot Fuzz. What else can I say other than the characters are brilliantly drawn to be comical, but lovable at the same time (except the villains, we still revile the villains). The dialogue is hilarious and smart, even when it is being silly. Also, the actors are perfect with each deadpan delivery and reaction.
Co-writer/director Wright makes the movie a masterpiece by telling a great story well, then giving us plenty of visual jokes to go along with it all. If you just pay attention, you’ll notice little things, like how the officers in his countryside town are always eating sweets, or the camera work that is reminiscent of overdone effects you may be sick of by now in other big action movies, or even famous film scenes recreated to tickle your memory and funny bone.
Best of all, Hot Fuzz is a well written movie where everything ties back together in the end. Wright and co-writer Pegg make sure jokes and discussions early in the movie pay off towards the end as the officers do the types of things they talked about, information given to you in the early portions of the movie becomes important later and the mystery reveals itself before your eyes in all of its ridiculous glory. This gives the cast a chance to wow you."
