Hilarious Movie! I Highly Recommend Seeing It!

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen! I'm so tired of all the PG-13-hit-your-head-and-fall-down movies. Uwe sucks at horror, he should definitely stick to comedy because this was pure genius! Postal is a very controversial, upsetting, racist, balls-to-the-wall adult movie! If you can handle how shockingly far it goes you will laugh your ass off at it's outrageousness! I can't believe he did some of the stuff he did in this movie! It's a shame that so many followers want to hate Uwe Boll without even seeing his movie just because it's the popular thing to do, because this REALLY is a great movie and definitely deserves to be seen regardless of who made it. I recommend thinking for yourselves and actually going to see it! There hasn't been a movie this funny and offensive since South Park or Pink Flamingos! Don't deny yourselves of such a hilarious movie just to be like all the other haters. Listen to the critics, I've read over twenty different reviews by professional film critics that absolutely LOVED Postal and laughed their asses off claiming that it's one of the funniest movies ever made! Trust them before you trust some random internet troll that hasn't even seen the movie, who's entire review is: "Fuck Uwe!" And for those of you who really hate Uwe Boll THAT much, you'll be happy to know that he plays himself in the movie and gets murdered by the video game's creator, thus causing everyone around them to cheer! That alone is worth the price of admission! He's being a good sport about how much people hate him, so we should all be good sports and actually go see the movie then judge for ourselves!
