Brilliant film, so, so funny. Simon Pegg is a great comedy actor, with Nick Frost as his sidekick. A number of well known faces in cast which leads into a fast paced, comedy action film which had me giggling & laughing all the way through, even though there are a few fatal "accidents"! Well worth a look.

A top London cop who is so good at his job that he makes his fellow officers look like slackers by comparison is "promoted" to serve in the sleepy village of Sandford in this contemporary action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead. Police constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) always gets his man, but these days his impeccable record seems to be more indicative of his fellow officers' shortcomings than his own formidable skills as a keeper of the peace. Loathe to stand idly by as their once respectable track record is steadily soiled by the hyper-competent actions of one lone overachiever, Sergeant Angel's superiors at the Met soon determine to remedy their problem by relocating the decorated constable to the West Country village of Sanford -- where tranquil garden parties and neighborhood watch meetings stand in stark contrast to the violent crime and heated gunplay of the city. As Sergeant Angel does his best to adjust to the relative calm of his new environment, his oafish new partner Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) strives to gain the respect of his fellow constables while sustaining himself on fantasies of his favorite action films and police shows. Later, just as it begins to appear as if Sergeant Angel has been relegated to an uneventful existence in the relative calm of the countryside, a series of horrific "accidents" lead him to suspect that the tranquil hamlet of Sanford has fallen prey to a sinister plot which reeks of foul play. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Steve Coogan, and Martin Freeman co-star in the Edgar Wright film. Awesome film!!!Read full review
The usual Simon Pegg, funny and watchable without being in the slightest bit thought provoking. Suitable for older children if they are OK with some gore, perhaps 30 seconds over the whole film and some bad language, but none of it used against people.

The DVD provides many bonus materials, including feature-length audio commentary by lead actor Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright. There's also 20 minutes of deleted scenes with optional commentary and 10 minutes of outtakes. Other extras include trivia superimposed as text while the movie runs, some storyboards and a goofy 28-minute feature on the cast and crew promoting the film in the United States.
