Brilliant start , Boring plot progression but Interesting ending

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2008)

the movie can be divided into three parts
the first 20 minutes are absolutely hilarious i would rate it 10/10.The Monologue , the protagonist's scenes with superior officers , ex girlfriend, his arrival in Stanford are all extremely well-done.It has got all the elements of an intelligent comedy. In fact thats what raises our expectations from rest of the movie so high and may be thats the reason why quite a few people dint like this movie
because then the plot gets quite boring ,It deals with him encountering series of accidents/collisions ,his attempts of solving them,linking them with each other simultaneously dealing with entire police staff who are against him.
it still has some comic relief ,funny characters , mystery and action but its nothing compared to the beginning and its too long almost 80 minutes .Thats why i would rate it 5/10
then we come to the part of revelation of the mystery and its aftermath this last 40 minutes are full of hard core action oriented humor and false endings {the ones where u think the movie will end but it doesn't}
in short its still an above average mystery>comedy>action film.but its quite "overarated" too.IMDb rating 8.3 is quite misleading.May be it has something "in " exclusively for British viewer which others just don't get it. {pardon my writing/language skills}
