In Hot Fuzz, super cop Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg), who is out shining the rest of the London Metropolitan Police, in reassigned to a rural English village where nothing ever happens. Shortly after arriving Angel finds himself investigating a series of "murders" which everyone else claims to be accidents. At the same time a friendship blossoms between Angel and his partner, the less-than-top-cop and action-hero-wannabe, DannyButterman (Frost).
Angel wants to turn Danny into a decent cop while Danny wants to teach Angel how to switch off being a cop 24-7-365.
The only complaint I had with the film is the choice of "Bad Boys 2" as one of Danny's selections for his after-pub action movie marathon... *shudder*
I wouldn't rate this movie as high as Shaun of the Dead, but it is a fun romp.
I really dislike "Bad Boys 2" myself. I think I understood it's place in this movie, though, as well as the best gay movie ever, "Point Break." Have you seen their first collaboration, "Spaced?" I've got both seasons.
