Hot Fuzz (2007)

Leighton & Sabine: ***
Hot Fuzz is a comedy buddy-cop action movie from the team that brought you the comedy zombie horror movie, Shawn of the Dead. Simon Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, a no-nonsense cop from the London Metropolitan Police Force, who's reassigned to the quiet village of Sandford for being too good and making everyone else look bad. His new partner, played by Nick Frost, is more a bumbling twit who loves action movies. It's a goofy send up of most of the Hollywood buddy-cop action movies of the last decade. If you've seen any of them, you should appreciate it. The citizens of Sandford are played by some top British talent including former James Bond Timothy Dalton, Jim Broadbent (Bridget Jones's Diary), and Paul Freeman (Raider's of the Lost Ark).

And let's not forget who played officer Angel's x-girl friend (and forensic cop)...Cate Blanchett in an uncredited role.
I didn't know that. Very funny. I also was going to mention Bill Nighy (most recently in the second two Pirates movies) and Martin Freeman (the original BBC version of The Office, and the Hitchhiker's Guide movie) as the London cops, but didn't want the post to get too long.
