From the same people (and starring some of the same actors) that brought you "Shaun of the Dead" (which I haven't written about yet), this is "Hot Fuzz".

Simon Pegg does a great job as a police officer reassigned from London to a small village because he's making everyone else in his department look bad. I don't know if you'd call it "deadpan" acting, but he played the part fairly straight and it just made it all that much funnier. Never mind that it's a murder mystery as well as a comedy. The last 15 minutes or so had me laughing so hard my sides ached.

Hot Fuzz stars Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and a whole slew of others. Here's the trailer:
