Brian’s Rating       

Because I see so many movies cut from the same cloth, with predictable story lines, and unimaginative dialogue, I am drawn to those which others might consider a bit offbeat.

When I encounter a movie that really gets my attention, I have to be careful not to oversell it, lest you think I’ve gone off my rocker.

But Hot Fuzz, is one, very funny and very offbeat movie and I think you will like it.

An overzealous London policeman is sent to a small English village, which is promoted as a quiet, safe community. Upon arrival, he finds that things are not always as they seem and the plot unfolds.

Now I realize that this does not sound funny or offbeat, but I assure you that the cast of characters he encounters, and the dialogue between them, fits the bill perfectly.

Hot Fuzz is the most wonderful surprise I have had in months.
