I watched it and I liked it. I watch movies to be entertained and this one made its job…

I know it's rated poorly, but I love this movie…

Emotional words come from the actors as the unique story of the postal service is retold in this modern tale…

3 hours...... I am sorry, but the u.s. post office is not the foundation of society…

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

Beautiful images and a musical score that takes your emotions on a rollercoaster. This is a great movie about the human spirit…

I really don't get the negative reviews on this movie. The Postman is my favorite movie of all time. You need to watch this movie…

The was the second DVD I ever purchased. Typical Kevin Costner, or what you will…

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

I really liked this movie, the plot was entertaining and the characters were believable. I don't know why so many people hate this movie…
