Greg Kinnear plays a small-time scam artist that is arrested and sentenced to find gainful employment for a year. He ends up in the DLO (Dead Letter Office) of Los Angeles' post office, working with a colorful collection of characters headed up by his supervisor (Hector Elizondo) and a former postal carrier (Tim Conway).

Kinnear decides to open one of the DLO letters addressed to God, and ends up answering it by mistake. Soon, his colleagues want in on the action and decide that they, too, want to start answering some of the letters written to God. Warm fuzzies ensue.

However, before too long, news media and the Post Office take notice. One of the DLO employees is arrested and Kinnear is left with a decision to make - let the other guy take the fall or own up to his part in it all.

A humorous courtroom scene follows along with a happy ending.

This isn't a great film by any stretch of the imagination, but it is enjoyable and worth a few laughs. Each off-the-wall character acts consistently thoroughout the film. Each, in their own way, contributes to the humor of the film.

It's a light-hearted, feel-good film about the power of doing good.

I remember seeing this in the theatre and I really think this is a fun movie to watch. Greg Kinnear is fun, the rest of the characters are great to watch, and even though the story is a little weak at times, it still makes you laugh. It also shows that when people band together, there's a lot they can accomplish.

I absolutely loved this movie. The acting is wonderful, the laughs are many, and it moves quickly. It's a beautiful story that will leave your heart smiling.

A dysfunctional deadbeat, Greg Kinnear, has to work off his court sentence by completing a year's employment at a post office in LA beginning a few weeks before Christmas. Supported by a misbegotten team of co-workers, he finds and helps to deliver the true meaning of Christmas - unselfish love.

I couldn't find this movie at any of rental or video sales store. I looked on-line and thought it was going to be expensive if I did find it. The price was right and the shipping was quick.

this is a great movie if you think you have been a little to selfish lately, we can almost all find someone worse off than us.

Dear God [Region 2]

The movie was very good and uplifting. Alot of familar actors & actresses in it.

I was so excited that this movie came out in DVD. I had worn out a copy I taped off of the TV airing of the movie many years ago. I watch this movie to get in the proper Christmas mood but it is fun to watch at any time of year. Tim Conway is great in this film and I smile just thinking about his role as a burnt out mail carrier. If you need a little levity in you life this is a great film to lift your spirits.

Entertaining, enjoyable feel-good story. I liked it so well that I bought one for most of our family and one for us to keep.

Wonderful DVD, very realistic, great acting and very close to believeable as far as the Postal System is concerned. Again great acting.
