Boll is off the worst-director-ever list after this. Anderson or Eli Roth (to pick other famous 'hacks') could possibly have pulled something this off. Not the best film in the world, but one to remember. And amazingly, Uwe Boll wrote and directed it. It is up to us to support any film that gets to the uncomfortable part of our world. I wonder if this will ever translate to a wide release or if it will remain something we see on DVD (unrated, we can only hope) and laugh over. Uwe himself has a great no-punches-pulled cameo along with the original maker of the game 'Postal' at one point. Zack Ward and Dave Foley are both great and very comfortable in their roles. The portrayal of Osama bin Laden (by 'soup Nazi' Larry Thomas) is inspired. I agree that's it's too long towards the end, if only because Boll didn't have the resources to make the final shootout as epic as it should have been, and it begins to feel cramped. It's not mean-spirited at all.) Ultimately it's a lot of fun. A lot of it's quite funny, some is stupid and offensive (but weirdly, in a good-natured way. Every possible joke, high and low, sexual or sociological, is jammed in, with varying degrees of success. Having fun yet? This is really a kitchen-sink movie. They're crazy, wrong, and in this film, they're laughable. Everyone in it takes themselves too seriously and thinks killing someone solves their problems. Everything and everyone is fair game in this film, and we must remember that - it's a FILM. He doesn't mind making everyone look the fool, do things they shouldn't for the wrong reasons, kill the wrong people, overreact, act out clichés, etc. Boll has channeled the politically incorrect attitude and turned it on its ear. In a post 9/11 world, how do you make a film about an urban terrorist who's just 'p-ssed off' without addressing terrorism, racism, and everything else that are hot buttons in the world.that create the madness that might make someone go.well, you know. It's based on the spirit of the game 'Postal' already politically incorrect, cartoony, out of control, and not really serious (not even as 'Vice City'). Predator.' It's a comedy, presumably his first intentional one since his debut film 15 years ago, and it goes to a place he hasn't shown us before. It doesn't compare to his other films at all - is closer to 'Kentucky Fried Movie' than to 'Alien Vs.

Boll has said he looked inward to write about his own frustration with the world for this. It's hard not to remember other video games he's responsible for bringing to the screen ('Alone in the Dark,' 'Bloodrayne') that really really sucked. If we forget for a minute that this film was directed by Uwe Boll, the discussion of this film would be very different. The satire and parodies worked well, and there were even a few jokes that made me want to cheer. I think Uwe Boll knew what he was doing with this picture. And the jokes, although in bad taste and definitely not for everybody, were never so mean spirited that I was turned off by them. The actors played it straight without being too zany too often. That said, the only real problems with the film are the low budget production values and a few of the minor performances, but even those problems just add to the humor of this film. The old Hollywood saying about there being 'no such thing as bad publicity' doesn't work for you when all you get is BAD PUBLICITY.

I think had he just been modest, kept his mouth shut, and let the film speak for itself it may have been a minor success. It's too bad Uwe Boll got himself involved in a petty internet pi**ing contest over this film.

But it doesn't matter that these seven jokes failed because the movie is an endless stream of jokes, sight gags, bikini clad cult members, machine gun battles, and bad taste in the vein of John Waters/Troma Films earliest efforts. I laughed throughout the entire movie, with the exception of about seven jokes which didn't make sense or just didn't work. There are plenty of 'zany' pop culture riffing movies out there, (Meet the Spartans, Super Hero Movie, Date Movie, etc.) but the difference here is Postal works. If I were twelve years old and still read MAD Magazine I'd probably have given it ten stars. Amazingly I just gave an Uwe Boll film 8 stars, I know, I can't believe it myself. I watched it stone cold sober, alone, in my living room. Disclaimer: Let me start by saying that I was neither drunk nor high when I watched this movie.
