British Comedy Guide, 12th March 201710 top tens for Hot Fuzz's tenth
This year, after watching Hot Fuzz for the tenth time, and still picking up little details I'd never noticed before, I went down to the pub for a glass of celebratory cranberry juice. I thought Anglonerd magazine, too, should celebrate the brilliance of this film in a big way, so here is not just a top ten list, but ten top ten lists, highlighting the best one hundred things about Edgar Wright's comedy action flick. *Spoilers*
Jaime Pond, Anglonerd, 14th February 2017Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a fine pair of sci-fi nerds. They play Brits in San Diego for a convention and general UFO spotting, and guess what: they find an actual alien. Paul, who looks like ET, has the voice of Seth Rogen and eats live birds.

Simon Pegg plays a teacher endowed with godlike powers and Robin Williams, in his final film role, supplies the voice of a dog. But it's far from funny.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Absolutely Anything, which stars Simon Pegg as a schoolteacher who receives limitless power from alien beings, is undoubtedly the worst thing he's done, and certainly one of the worst movies yet made. Zero stars.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 14th August 2015Simon Pegg filmed with a sausage stuck up his nose
The actor bonded with his canine sidekick in the film by being "the guy with the sausage on his face". Here's an exclusive interview with Pegg about this intriguing acting method...
Kasia Delgado, Radio Times, 13th August 2015Absolutely Anything review: 'lightly feeble'
Not even a Monty Python reunion of sorts can save Simon Pegg's sci-fi comedy from mediocrity.
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 13th August 2015Absolutely Anything review
Absolutely Anything continues on an unwanted trend for Simon Pegg, of making mediocre British comedies, far removed from the ingenuity of his earlier work.
