SunnyHello Nice effects though.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Lynne Butler The stories told in this series are heart-warming. I realize that isn't edgy enough or dangerous enough for some people, but when you get tired of watching bloodshed and meaningless violence, you will appreciate this show. The stories are well-written, and generally well-paced. They take you all over, in the sense that they solve mysteries and reunite people and discover secrets and do not follow a "murder of the week" sort of formula. The main themes of the episodes are love, friendship, respect. One reviewer referred to this show as "housewifey", which is insanely patronizing, but what he probably meant is that it doesn't have any bimbos jiggling their naked boobs for the camera and isn't bloodthirsty enough for his "masculine" taste. And it's not, so if you must exist on a strict diet of sex and violence, skip this show.The main characters are more nerdy than they are glamorous, but since when is the entire world made up of models? They rely on their brains, decency, teamwork, and perseverance to get the job done. We haven't seen characters like Rita and Norman in any show that I know of (Rita has her Sheldon Cooper moments but she is a much nicer person). I find the inevitable falling in love of Oliver and Shane to be predictable, but that's OK too; watching their story unfold is very enjoyable. The acting is good. I enjoy the work of actors who can get across an emotion or idea with only a facial expression.There isn't much laugh-out-loud comedy on the show. It is certainly charming and will make you smile rather than laugh. Occasionally I have small criticisms of how specific matters are done in the show. For example, I thought that when Oliver and Shane were locked in the bank vault with the young banker, it was a bit of a cop-out to have the young man take a nap to make room for the private letter-reading between Oliver and Shane. However, these things are probably just growing pains, and no doubt if given the chance, this show will mature.

HQna I've watched every episode up to today (s01e03) and even made it through the pilot movie. With nearly every scene it got more cheesy and stereotypically, and already served almost every typical us-American cliché.Well, let's see who have we got here: First, the very formal, mysterious male lead, chief of the office, always wears a suit, recites Shakespeare whenever he can, and a kind of religious/spiritually and conservative guy. Next, we have the blond, spontaneous, wanna-be modern and somewhat rebellious female lead who likes to step over the rules - but not TOO spontaneous and rebellious of course! Oh yes, and of course they both begin to fall for each other. Then we also have two quirky outsiders, one with a photographic memory who seems to write "fantasy novels" (i.e. soft-porn erotic novels) and the other who has what seems some autistic attributes. They all form the DLO - Dead Letter Office - which tries to deliver lost letters, mostly by opening them and reconstruct who wrote it, to whom it was written and why, and solve some cases along this reconstruction and re-delivery.But not enough, these cases are what makes the show so overly cheesy and "housewifey". Two of the three episodes examined a afghan girl who was heroically saved by a soldier and were gloriously reunited with him at her graduation speech in an American university, and secondly a cowboy who fell in love with a seasonal visitor of his ranch who married another man, but - of course - also found a happy ending because the boy waited 20 years for his eternal love whom he built a hut on the mountain, just as he promised when they were children. All of that with a very homogeneous, biased, and conservative storyline and characters (4/4 relationships or love interests were between a woman and a man, all of the main cast and all except two of the supporting cast are/were white).All in all, probably exactly that kind of a show which you would expect from the Hallwark Channel... but you might ask yourself now: Why would he give this show 7 stars with all this?Well... mostly because sometimes you just need this kind of a soft, cute show without any friction or a bad arch-enemy. Sometimes you just need this kind of romantic, cheesy happy endings where the good guys (not that there are any real bad guys) get the girl. And sometimes you just need a heartwarming and tears provoking stories in a softened, orange light ;-) Also, the acting is quite well of all of the main cast, the characters are interesting enough to question yourself what will happen to them (even though it might seem quite predictable) and the overall concept of the show seems very promising as there are virtually endless opportunities to resolve the plot into interesting stories.Concluding: In comparison to other shows with a similar main target audience, this one seems to be one of the best up to today.

tammysack I was scrolling down the TV schedule when this caught my why "What's this?" I said with curiosity in my mind. I clicked on the first episode and immediately knew that I would love this show!The main thing that got me hooked was Eric Mabius (I have seen Ugly Betty a lot) I just saw him and exclaimed "THAT'S DANIEL!". Anyway, I really really enjoyed the first episode it was very heartwarming and made me feel really happy. I liked the hook at the beginning where the little boy was posting the letter then was like "My names not Owen." I like the relationship between the characters as-well and I like Shane and Olivers relationship. I loved the dance scene at the end.The second episode had me in tears and I just love the lengths the Postal guys go at to finding these people for the senders it's all just very heartwarming and I really hope that anyone thinking about watching this show gives it a shot because it's really great!I gave this show an 8 because it's funny, inspirational, heartwarming, filmed well and so much more! (I don't write reviews a lot so sorry if this is bad.)

Phantom_Duck I gave this show a 4 instead of a 2 because it is sweet and means well. I tried to watch the entire first episode but it was so slow and cheesy I found my finger hammering away at the fast forward button.There is certainly a market and demographic for programming like this. I enjoy more edgy programming,if you do too pass on this.For those that wax reminiscent for The Donna Reed Show, Ozzie and Harriet or the "Folks From Mayberry," and find Matlock too racy and surmise Cabot Cove is a den of iniquity... You just may love it? It is for the Readers Digest demographic. Treacle for the mundane.Not much more to say, but I have to fill the space.Better than a reality show is a plus. At the very least the show is employing actors and crew instead of launching the brand of some misbegotten, self indulgent bastard attention seeking progeny.That is a very good thing!
