What more can you want out of a movie other than a Gary Coleman appearance? How about a man trying to rob an amusement park only to find out that the Taliban has the exact same idea? Well that’s exactly what Postal gives you. Postal is based on the controversial computer game that was released in 2003.
Postal follows a man named Postal Dude after he just hit hard times. After hitting what he thinks to be rock bottom, everything just gets worse. First he has to share a trailer with his constantly expanding wife, Bitch (yes that’s her actual name). While having to deal with his wife, he has to go through an embarrassingly bad job interview and almost getting killed on a visit to the welfare office. After having no luck finding help from other people, Dude ends up on his Uncle Dave’s doorstep. It just happens that Uncle Dave is also going through some financial troubles, so they hatch a plan to steal the rare Krotchy dolls from the local amusement park and sell them to make money. However, Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban are also planning the same thing, but they are much better equipped than Dude and his uncle to complete the job. These two groups end up at war for the right to steal these rare dolls. Everything spirals out of control when Bin Laden is forced to call in his friend, George W Bush to back him up. By the end of the war, the town is a complete mess and Dude learns many lessons about life.
This sounds amazing! Even though I haven’t seen or heard of the video game before reading about the movie, the description of the movie really makes me want to go play the game. It sounds like it’s going to be full of action and funny moments. This movie sort of reminds me of Team America, and that isn’t anything to be ashamed of. However it appears that the movie is only running a limited release which may show that people didn’t find it as funny as I think it’s going to be. But we will see on November 9th.

I love comedy movies, but this one sounds like it could be hit or miss. I think it would help to know who wrote and directed it. Also, do you know who is starring, because that could make an impact as well (I can't make out the faces of the people in the promo ad). I do agree with the plot synopsis- it sounds a lot like Team America, expect with live actors, and about a postal worker...you get the jist. I actually hadn't heard about this movie at all until your post, now I think I might see it.
Ha, ha you guys don't know Uwe Boll do you? He's infamous for making video games into movie crap, just to let you know. BloodRayne, House of the Dead, and Alone in the Dark are all his fault.
