The Fuzz

It's an offbeat, funny, quietly cheerful movie in which Ed McBain's 87th Precinct is finally brought to life.

Fuzz attempts to add a realistic veneer to the traditional cop flick through humor, but the disappointing film turns out to be no laughing matter.

…works best as a sociological document of the law and order concerns of 1972. It’s rude, crude and often funny…well worth seeking out for lovers of scuzzy 70’s cinema…

Fuzz may not be up to the standards of M.A.S.H. or The Hospital, and it may take its time gathering momentum after each foray into realism, but it does have its moments of high hilarity and for that we should be properly appreciative.
