I'm as surprised as you.
It turns out that, when Uwe Boll gets away from action films or anything that's even remotely serious, he's got some pretty for real comedy chops. Specifically, Postal feels like a throwback to the grossout / zany for the sake of zany / mean spirited, but in the nicest way possible vibe of the late 90's. Like, this would have fit right in during the era of American Pie, Gary & Mike, Shasta McNasty or Austin Powers.
From 9/11 terrorists negotiating the number of virgins they'll receive in Heaven, to Uwe Boll confessing that his films are financed via his stockpile of Nazi gold, all the way to Verne Troyer being kidnapped by a cult who aim to have chimps rape him to death, I'd give this film a rating of The Geico Gecko out of a possible Progressive Flo.

I've heard of games called Postal.
If this is a film adaptation of the games, ew.

Like most of Boll's films....adaptation in the loosest sense.
Postal is that kinda game that is shock humour for the sake of trying to get away with it and being as crass as possible. IIRC there's a weapon in the game that is just a German SHepherd with handles like a chainsaw you swing at and maul enemies with.

Oh god Uwe Boll.
For some fucking reason I read that as "Usain Bolt" and got super confused about him starring in a movie.

For as much as I enjoyed the film, yes, Usain Bolt's Postal would be incredible.

I've been meaning to see it for awhile, and this thread made me want to. So I'm currently downloading it and will watch it soon and give my own review.

Don't go saying you enjoyed something and then give it poor scores in every review category.
God, man.

Ah, so not at all like, for example, water polo, but with naked people.
