Product Description
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 Don't comment if you haven't seen it., March 5, 2008

By	Duane (Boise, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews

To the other reviewer on this who complains without actually saying anything about the movie, at least see the thing before you comment. I have seen it. I saw it premiere at a film festival I was a guest at last October. It played to a packed room and everyone loved it. It was a hilarious and seriously fun movie. I also met Uwe Boll who was in attendance for the premiere and he was a very nice guy who went out of his way to be friendly to everyone he met there. Regardless of what you think of his other films, this one is great and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

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

By	S.Hughes (Courtenay, Canada) - See all my reviews

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.

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

By	Dana Edward Bryan (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"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!
