It had a leisurely, fairly steady pace throughout the first 2/3. Upon watching it a second time it struck me that Neato's winning the competition ought to bring about the resolutions to end the picture. After he won I felt the movie should wrap up, but it continued with other subplot resolutions. That nagged at me a little, though it took two viewings to figure it out. One last thing that comes to mind is that the actors playing the police officers seemed hesitant in their performances. I felt a few times they may've improvising and it came across. They were funny. They just seemed unsure to me.
Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable and generally engaging film. Even with the few technical quibbles I found it's still loads better than much of what else I've seen here and elsewhere. 4 stars.
