    Not bad and actually funny at some points. Plenty of hot chicks barely dressed, plus a full frontal from Dave Foley. Has next to nothing to do with the game other than dictating props and settings used and some one-liners, but then again what the hell is the game about other than...( read more) outrageous setting and props? Shows that Boll can make fun of himself. Worth a watch if you're looking for faux-edgy that is marginally better than mainstream comedy releases.

    Uwe Boll must be stopped

    Uwe Boll continues his reign of terror on the video game adaptation and makes an intentional comedy for a change. Actually a watchable flick with some interesting cameos and some good mindless fun. Fans of the game will pick up on some oneliners and theres plenty of action thrown...( read more) in for good measure. Definitely not for everyone, but if you ever wanted to see Uwe Boll get shot in the nads, this one's for you!

    Obviously, to say this is the best Uwe Boll film I've seen is faint praise. The thing is, it's still not very good. Boll's idea of comedy is very broad and not really executed in a way that is actually funny. The "cutting edge" sociopolitical humor could have been written by a...( read more) ten year old. The saving grace is that the whole thing is like watching a train wreck.

    Also, a must if you've ever wanted long, loving shots of full frontal Dave Foley.

    On one hand Uwe Boll continues to make crap. On another hand this movie was so bad I laughed at times just for the sheer stupidity.

    Do yourself a favor and play the game.

    Congratulations Toilet Boll! Postal absolutely sucks! This is a shocker. Oh wait, no it isn't.

    This film may only be loosely based on the video game by the same name, but this monstrosity is so crappy that it still gives the game a bad name. This movie is not

    ...( read more)funny, not entertaining, and much too long. Seriously, the 1 hour 40 minutes feels like an eternity.

    The movie is supposed to be wacky and over the top, but this film still goes nowhere. Boll's attempt at humor is executed poorly in a story with plot holes, which shouldn't matter, but they do anyway. Boll just continues to find ways to disappoint.

    Zack Ward is unimpressive, Dave Foley has full frontal nudity, and J.K. Simmons lowers his reputation just by taking a role in this abomination. At least there are a handful of scantily clad women to look at. Their acting, on the other hand, is also "scantily clad." To top it all off, Toilet Boll actually appears as himself. As if this movie isn't bad enough, but now his face appears on the screen and his voice is heard.

    Postal is a picture that fails at every turn. Avoid it at all costs and move on.

    (3.3/5) During the first half of the film, I was really getting into the comedy. It's low-brow on the surface, but has a tinge of satire to it that makes it work a lot better. Also, Dave Foley is awesome. However, I felt the second half of the film dragged on and fell flat.

    This is not a review. Just a comment .THIS is the worst movie I have ever seen.

Postal strikes me as marginally superior to Morgan Spurlock's merely boneheaded Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? But that's like saying Moe is smarter than Curly. full review

Having already demonstrated the worst that the horror, action and fantasy genres have to offer, Uwe Boll tries his hand at political/cultural satire with Postal and comes up with something smelling aw... full review

    You could be forgiven for thinking that this WASN'T from Uwe Boll. Reasonably funny for its genre.
