    Uwe Boll must be stopped
  • January 16, 2009
    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.
  • September 27, 2008
    Looks like Boll can add comedy to genres he isn't any good at.
    Sure it has a few chuckles but then the expression about monkeys and typewriters comes to mind.

    A movie with really sick humor. I like it
  • October 6, 2009
    Oh, I knew kharma would get Dave Foley back for breaking up Kids in the Hall by having him star in an Uwe Boll movie where he takes a shit naked and then tries to steal dick-shaped dolls. This is another Boll video-game adaptation except that now instead of being a horror movie, ...( read more)it's the lamest attempt at political satire this side of American Dreamz. Crude, crass and tasteless don't make for a funny movie when the people making don't have a sense of humor. I did laugh once very hard with one line (What is the difference between a duck?).

    Where oh where to begin.

    Uwe Boll is possibly one of the worlds most hated directors. His track record of adaptations do little to help his reputation on the big screen.

    This film however surprised me on such a level that I could rate this 5 stars!
    This of course takes into acc...( read more)ount the fact that it really does not take itself seriously at all. All the barriers and taboo's are removed instantly and this film set's out to have ridiculous fun and to offend in the 'fau' way.

    I must admit that this is Uwe Boll's finest film to date (This does not mean it is a masterpiece, only that it is not his worst film) And I am a fan of the rather obscure Postal series of video games and the character 'Postal Dude' was played rather well by Zack Ward, the next highlight of the film was the inclusion of random acts of violence of the people of Paradise City.

    Uwe Boll's best film, which isn't saying anything at all.
  • September 11, 2009
    A great Uwe Bole film. Did you think you would ever hear that? But, hey I even enjoyed House of the Dead. This one was apparently also a film re-make of a video game. Though I have never heard of this game, I will have to check it out if the humor is anything like that found in t...( read more)he film. This is my exact type of humor ? offensive, but witty. A middle finger at the world, but done so with purpose and intent. Nothing is sacred. The Soup Nazi as Osama bin Laden! Reading about Uwe Bowl makes me like this film even more! This is GREAT ? best Ive seen in months!

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.

    seriously, you call this entertainment. This is just sick. i can't believe someone would pay to actually to see this.

    Hmm... saw Uwe Boll and knew it would be based on a video game.
