I'd never want to stand in the way of artists pushing things, but messing with Postman Pat is probably a step too far.

Viewers unencumbered by nostalgia will probably see this zippy, occasionally funny movie as no more frantic or pop-culture-addled than the average multiplex fodder.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
The 6-year-old I watched it with summed it up perfectly: “It starts out fun but then it’s kinda sad and scary. And sorta boring, too.”

Postman Pat: The Movie is a mostly charmless and dark affair.

Postman Pat: The Movie is a disappointment; a modern-day reinvention of a traditional, much-loved classic that differs so far from its comfort zone that it'll have a difficult time winning audiences, let alone maintaining there attention.

Postman Pat: The Movie is one of the best family films to come down the pike this year.
