Please... Mr. Postman

About This Movie

So, 'Please... Mr. Postman' is a quirky little comedy from 1982 that really captures the vibe of its era. The film follows Loni Sanders, the first postwoman in her small town, and the unusual deliveries she makes. There’s an odd charm to how it blends the mundane with the bizarre, especially with those mysterious packages that stir up some unexpected drama. The pacing is a bit uneven; it has moments where it drags but then suddenly picks up with some wild scenarios. The performances, particularly from the lead, feel very sincere, adding a nice layer of authenticity to the absurdity. It’s not your standard fare, and that’s what makes it interesting to revisit.

This film has had a bit of a curious journey in terms of home media. Initially released on VHS, it was hard to find for a while, which created a small collector's buzz around it. There are rare editions out there, and while it might not be on everyone’s radar, those who know it appreciate its odd humor and unique premise. The scarcity of physical copies has made it a point of interest for collectors who enjoy offbeat comedies from the early '80s.
