 The second funiest film ever! February 27, 2002

This has to be the second funiest film ever, behind Mr Hulots Holiday! Has many classic moments. In particular the lamp post scene! Good music too!

This film is perhaps even funnier than M. Hulot's holiday. I think it will appeal to those who have an affinity to the simpler ways of living and the gentle humour that can abound from that. I have a special reason to like this film. July 14 1948 was my date of birth!
Gloriously funny French farce July 3, 2001

The adventures of a postman in a sleepy little French village who tries to speed up his deliveries after watching an American training movie. Even funnier than M Hulot's Holiday, in my opinion, and a perfect example of the very best visual humour - innocent, breathtakingly original and beautifully timed. I've loved it for years, and now my five year old son thinks it's really cool! This film might persuade him that Europe has more to offer than just the language.
Beware, genius at work July 1, 2001

A precursor of Monsieur Hulot, with the same gentle humour and from a time when most of Britain and America thought that Abbot and Costello films were comic masterpieces. The postman has appeared several times but, after more than fifty years is still funny and even broad farce (riding off a bridge)has an extra something thanks to Tati. There is, of course, the recurring problem with things mechanical, in this case a bicycle and, again, Tati inhabits his own little world where he moves at a different pace, oblivious to the chaos he causes but, you are never left in any doubt as to which is better world. This is not a film solely for those who like France. It is, instead, an introduction to the art of a timeless genius.
 typical french film, if you like the french culture. April 18, 2001

Ah those holidays in france, this film is how you would start to remember the relaxed atmosphere, wine and the good eating of the french culture. Until the french add chaos and their attempt of humour. Not a film i would recomend unless you have lived for a long period in france!
