Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 1.5/4 --
Costner the director lavishes all sorts of attention on Costner the actor, from laughably reverential dialogue ("You give out hope like it was candy in your pocket") to loving close-ups to gauzy slow-motion montages.

Not as bad as everyone says, but still not worth seeing.

You can go with the idea of a heroic postie implausibly rallying the downtrodden, or you can have fun making fun of its awfulness.

There are those who will no doubt call The Postman the worst film of the year, but it's too good-hearted for that.

Rating: 5/10 --
The first half of Costner's The Postman is actually quite interesting, but it falters badly in the second half with a few unintentional howlers.

It's about as inspiring as a movie about a vengeful meter reader.

Product Description:
In a post-apocalyptic, totally anarchic America, circa 2013, a defector from the ranks of murderous despot General Bethlehem masquerades as a representative of the good old U.S. Postal Service. But his ruse so delights the weary, oppressed people he meets that it indeed becomes real--and he finds himself championing their rights and the American Way. Adapted from the novel by David Brin.
