Title: Hot Fuzz
Year: 2007
Director: Edgar Wright
Writers: Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
Music: David Arnold
Distinctions: formerly on IMDb's Top 250
Synopsis: a London cop is transferred to a small town, where he uncovers a conspiracy
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), April 2008
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay).
Objective Rating: 6/10 (points off for concept, story, cinematography and music) c. 2.5/4 (Okay).

So completely dumb it's fun. Half the fun is that the movie doesn't know what sort of movie it is, which is kind of awkward, and relies on taking you by surprise. There aren't many actual jokes, especially compared with Shaun of the Dead. I don't think I could watch it a second time.
