Film Threat
Jeremy Knox
It's such an insanely fun ride that most of its flaws are forgivable.

50
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Not only less than horrible, but actually occasionally enjoyable.

42
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
A provocation first, an insult second, a publicity stunt third, and a film a distant fourth.

40
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This anything-goes exercise isn't dull -- one just wishes the outrageousness were more consistently funny.

38
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Postal's touches of wit are lost in the flying body parts, gross-out gags, and the full frontal spectacle of Foley's no-longer-private parts.

25
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Michael Harris
What Boll gives us is a boring beating over the head.

25
New York Post
Kyle Smith
At last: Uwe Boll has made his first intentionally funny film.

20
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
Manages to be as toothless as he (Boll) is tasteless. Poorly framed, tone-deaf, and nonsensical (yet still Boll's best!).

10
The New York Times
Nathan Lee
Infantile, irreverent and boorish to the max, Postal explodes with bad attitude and lousy filmmaking.

10
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Boll's rampant narcissistic showmanship creates such a bizarre, garish spectacle that it is almost tempting to give him credit for being something of a misunderstood artist after all. Almost, but not quite.

New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Where Boll's movies were once amusingly atrocious, Postal is so aggressively tasteless and knowingly idiotic, there's just no fun to be had.
