Hey, Mr. Postman!

I really enjoyed the movie but the main actor he was a bit overbearing. I mean he just pissed me off. He did redeem himself about the little girl.

With Hey Mr. Postman, writer/producer Brian Berry does what's mandatory but nearly impossible in indie comedy: He manages to fully replace a crowded boardroom of six-figure writers by delivering hilarious and warming comedy at a major studio level.

From wire-to-wire, Hey Mr. Postman is one of those rare, consistently laugh-out-loud films. Berry and director Mike Berry - who almost inexplicably aren't related - could've taken a great Everyman script and hosed it with average casting. But with each role, they knew exactly who and what was required for these uniquely written characters. As Brian Lincoln, Walter Franks anchors it down as the Postman in question; he's fired from another job early on, and with that inciting incident begins his comedic road to redemption...by way of the post office, of course, and a subplot that has a bit of drama to counterpoint the slapstick. Franks is complemented in grand style by some really phenomenal and bigger-than-life character sketches (a favorite was the over-the-top employee trainer who takes his post office job no less seriously than drill sergeant Louis Gossett Jr. did his in An Officer And A Gentleman). These folks aren't just there to deliver gags; each has purpose in advancing this fun and funny-as-hell story, and each gives the film a ton of memorable and distinguishing dimension.

Because it's massively entertaining, Hey Mr. Postman deserves the type of word-of-mouth advocacy that an indie comedy must have to break from a pack of lesser imitators. Here's hoping Brian Berry and his group find that initial wave of viewers who can then stump for this great comedy and push it out word-of-mouth to the masses, who will be all the better for having seen this one.

Hey, Mr. Postman, will have you doubled over with laughter and trying to catch your breath. Director Mike Berry did a fantastic job translating the script to screen, and the actors and actresses killed it.

A loser becomes a postman and hi-jinks ensue. His beat is populated with a number of really memorable characters and there are lots of laugh-out-loud moments as a result. I was chuckling all the way through and I highly recommend checking this film out.

I first watched the trailer... I then read a few of the reviews so I thought I had a pretty good idea what to expect. I was wrong. This film was far funnier than what I was expecting. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Walter" character. He was fun to watch from beginning to end. The Director, Mike Berry, was also the writer so I have to give props here! One or the other is enough but both is super impressive. The Director did a really good job at keeping this film moving. I certainly recommend putting this on your "to watch" list.
