Synopsis
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.

Uwe Boll on the Critics
Published on: June 3, 2008
CanMag has posted an interview with 'Postal' director Uwe Boll. The frequently criticized filmmaker discusses boxing his critics as well as the way his films often get reviewed.
"...I think a good review should be, you can bash the movie to the ground if you have reasons to do it and you write a solid bad review, but you should at least inform what the movie is. You have to explain what the story is and who's in the movie and everything. If you don’t do that, if you start bashing me and you never stop bashing me and nobody knows in the end is BloodRayne actually a movie with actors, or you don’t even know that it's a period piece or that it's in Transylvania in 1700 or whatever..."
