Editorial Reviews

Prepare yourself for the hilarious, laugh-packed comedy POSTAL, the irreverent and outrageous film based on the popular video game. After a clueless slacker named the Postal Dude (Zack Ward) loses his job, he joins his shady Uncle Dave (Dave Foley) and a bevy of big-breasted, scantily–clad female cult followers in a scheme to steal a shipment of hot new toys. But first they must foil a band of ruthless terrorists — led by none other than Osama Bin Laden — and save the world from destruction in this offensive, mayhem-ridden laugh riot that threatens the very limits of common decency.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Lenny Bruce were a film, he'd be this one., November 13, 2008

This review is from: Postal (Unrated) (DVD)

Until I watched Postal, I thought the best thing Uwe Boll could do for the film world would involve the phrase "retire forever," or maybe "death by a thousand cuts," as its core concept.

This movie changed my mind. It made me forgive Boll for all the horrible things he's done to my favorite games. I borrowed this movie from a friend, ignoring his ranting about how great it is, and sat down grimly determined to see how badly Boll had mutilated another one of my favorite game franchises, but I was shocked:

Postal is astonishingly, disgustingly hilarious. It is brutally brilliant in its determination to offend virtually everyone in the world, and to defile every single sacred cow within Western civilization, between the opening and ending credits. It out-South Parks South Park. Even Boll's previous moronic style of action movies are satirized with ridiculous shootout sequences. Hell, Boll even satirizes himself in the film, playing a Nazi-gold-funded, vaguely pedophilic administrator of an Auschwitz theme park who also makes video games into movies. How can you not love it?

I haven't laughed so hard, and so consistently, in years. A fluke? Notable only for its offensiveness? Perhaps. But well, well worth the money. I hope he makes more.

OK, let's be honest. If you are a very politically correct person then you are not going to be watching Postal.

If you are easily offended or belong to any racial group or human demographic (because Ewe has something offensive for everyone!) then you can find some way to be outraged by Postal.

Ewe leaves nothing sacred in this movie from lampooning religion to positing a connection at the highest of levels between the US and Al Quaeda. Racial slurs and even abuse of the handicapped are found in this movie.

Some of the extras are the best parts. Watching Ewe literally box with critics and beat the stuffing out of them is good, clean fun. Watch the credits at the end to see that even Ewe took out some of his jokes.

This is not a movie for the kiddies, and I would be careful to watch this movie in a mixed crowd. Think that your date or your spouse has an unvarnished, great sense of humor -- better think twice before you show this one.

As a guilty pleasure, this movie is fantastic.

It has boldly gone where no movie has gone before or is likely (unfortunately) to go again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Censored by political foes?, May 26, 2008

"Worst director ever" article in the Sunday New York Times motivated me to see POSTAL. It opened in only ONE theater in all of New York City--and in the boondocks of Brooklyn no less! having just seen it one the big screen, I can only surmise that the politics it embraces (love and respect of all humanity while bashing both Bush and Bin Laden, and the "American way of Life") is the reason why Hollywood won't distribute it. It may be juvenile humor to some extent, while many scenes are screamingly hysterical! If the US can crank out unfunny crap like "American Pie", why isn't there room for POSTAL? Anyone who thinks the national media is not controlled by big money is very naive!
