So I finally got to see Hot Fuzz. Had the in-laws staying so me and Yash could slip off for the afternoon and check it out.

There has been a lot of buzz about the film and having seen it I’d say it is justified. It is full of laughs, the woman next to couldn’t stop all the way through. That’s good because atmosphere in the cinema was infectious and had me laughing out loud too. Not something I do often. Simon Pegg was good in his role but Nick Frost was the star of the show. Amazing to think he’s had no formal training and just got in to acting through Pegg.

I hadn’t read any reviews of the film so didn’t know anything about the story line. It is pretty ridiculous but then that all adds to the comedy value of the film in the same way as it does for Shaun of the Dead. I won’t go in to details of the story, that’s like seeing trailers (such as Die Hard 4) in which they clearly show you the climax of the film when the bad guys croak.

If you haven’t seen the film then I say go. It is one you could watch on dvd because the nature of the film doesn’t demand the big screen, but it is worth going for atmosphere. It has been along time since I went to the cinema and this was worth the wait.
