Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes

Christy Lemire, Associated Press: How does Uwe Boll keep getting work? Seriously, this is not a rhetorical question -- someone, somewhere surely must know the answer. Read more

Nathan Lee, New York Times: Infantile, irreverent and boorish to the max, Postal explodes with bad attitude and lousy filmmaking. Read more

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: Postal is largely just a byproduct of Boll's self-promotion, rendering the film itself, in essence, beside the point. Read more

Michael Harris, Globe and Mail: This reviewer is not easy to offend, but is very easy to bore. And I was bored out of my tree for most of Boll's lamely conceived, cliche-ridden debacle. Read more

Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Twice as violent and half as funny as anything resembling a good movie, it's still a hell of a ride Read more

John Anderson, Newsday: Convinced that Arab terrorists are inherently hilarious, and that shooting fish in the leaky barrel of American pop culture takes marksmanship, Boll is a boor, and a symptom of something sad and dehumanizing. Read more

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: It's hard to imagine a worse movie will come out this year, and yet Boll's growing notoriety has already earned the trailer millions of hits on YouTube. Ed Wood never had it so good. Read more

Kyle Smith, New York Post: 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. Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: 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. Read more

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out: Read more

Dennis Harvey, Variety: Boll does mean to provoke, but to pull off a satirical critique of the volatile subjects here would require sharper wit than he and co-scenarist Bryan C. Knight generally provide. Read more

Aaron Hillis, Village Voice: This movie's about as dangerous (or as funny) as a mouthy, caffeinated teen punk from the suburbs who just saw his first s***-flinging GG Allin performance on YouTube. Read more
