Now Playing Late Nights at South Lamar:


When Alamo pal and pugilist auteur Uwe Boll put in a personal call to Tim League asking him to open POSTAL on Memorial Day weekend against INDIANA JONES, what could Tim say but 'Uwe Uwe Uwe no'? But then Uwe threatened to beat Tim up...

POSTAL follows two days in the life of the Postal Dude (Zack Ward), 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 Dave Foley - who goes full-frontal for the camera in his first scene. 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.

From there, things get strange.

POSTAL is insulting, irreverent, politically incorrect and funny as hell. In a different era, a director would be put to death for making this movie, and we should probably be put to death for loving it so much. Just leave your sensitivity at home and come to South Lamar for a good time.
