On the night of 4/20, very much stoned with 3 friends, I saw Hot Fuzz. It was awesome. It blew me away. I was skeptical, because the trailer made it look dumb, and because the theatre only had about 7 other people in it, but I gave the Shaun of the Dead guys the benefit of the doubt for accurate trailers. Damn shame that the crowd was so thin. I tell you, it's probably the best movie released this year. Most of the shit they package as trailers is further evidence that Hollywood is going even further down the tubes and ought to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up.
Hot Fuzz is a breath of a fresh air, and a great blend of comedy, gore, and British silliness. I highly recommend it, especially if you loved Shaun of the Dead. The only possible gripe I can give is that it was long - about two hours. I was stoned and hungry for munchies, though, so perhaps my impatience was subjective. They showed a trademark of self-referential humor, a wonderful craft of set-ups and many pay-offs, and a few nods to Shaun of the Dead to boot. I plan to own this movie as soon as it's released on DVD, pending personal funds.
Go see this movie. Even if I were sober, I still would have loved it and laughed the entire time.
