This was cut by an editor. Watch it and see what you think about the over all timing of the film.
Yes he did speed up clips, and cut things here or there. It cut off 1.5 minutes. I want to know, is it worth it?
The jump from when the truck pulls into the garage to him walking in front of the house feels a bit rushed to me. I feel like it is still a little long but the rest looks pretty good.
Where he climbs up the ladder angrily, after he falls off the roof the first time (fram#6800) its too jumpy and I dont think the audience will understand that he's a little ticked off.
The beginning does seems rushed.
The cut around frame #4675 is too abrupt (stepping up on the ladder after he puts it in the mud)
I like the change at #6100 (no cut to his face when the ladder rung breaks)
I think where we can shave off some time is when he pulls the ladder out of the mud... maybe have him take 2 attempts at it rather than 3... (frames#5460-5600)
I like the speed up after he kicks open the door (Frame#7080) however his angry point to the chimney needs to be longer, to register
also, at the end when he rises above the chimney, the hold needs to be a little longer before the lightning strikes. the anticipation needs to be a little longer to really make the payoff work. I agree with Abels comments.
I feel that the speed of the lizard makes him feel out of control rather than goofy. In the ladder sinking into mud scene, this is very apparent, and it feels jumpy. Also when he is in the house grabbing everything.

During the ladder sinking I think he loses character. Can't pinpoint why
