Uwe Boll's controversial offering, POSTAL, is insulting, irreverent, politically incorrect and funny as hell. POSTAL follows two days in the life of the Postal Dude, played by Zack Ward of A Christmas Story, in the regrettably named town of Paradise. Just when he thinks he has hit rock bottom, things get worse.
Sharing a trailer with his ever-expanding wife, Bitch, Dude is in a bad way. After a humiliating job interview and a nearly lethal trip to the welfare office, Dude finds himself on the doorstep of his Uncle Dave, played by Kids in the Hall and NewsRadio alumnus Dave Foley. Despite being the successful leader of the town cult, Dave is also finding himself in financial difficulties. Together, Dude and Dave hatch a plan to steal some valuable merchandise. Unfortunately for them, the much better organized and much better equipped Taliban has converged on Paradise for more sinister reasons. Things spiral out of control when Osama Bin Laden is forced to call in his friend George W Bush as back up. Few are left standing by the time Dude turns his back on Paradise.
Dude quickly learns how liberating it can be when there is nothing left to lose. He learns never to trust a messiah, especially when that messiah has written his own bible. He learns that you can find love in the most unlikely places, even when the object of your affections is holding a gun to your head. Most importantly, he learns that there is nothing that a well timed nuclear explosion can’t solve.
Watch for cameos of director Uwe Boll, the film's writer Brian C Knight and favorite little person actor Verne Troyer of Austin Powers fame.

"...it's also funny, and criticizes our government's hypocrisy and political correctness in a way that's refreshingly pointed. If this movie had been made by an unknown young director, a lot of critics would still be panning the movie for its inconsistencies - but many others would be praising his courage...."
