I wasn't impressed by "Going Postal", though I always like when we see the regular characters through the eyes of someone new.

I think much of Going Postal reminded me of a certain kind of film from the 1930's and 1940's which may not exactly be a comedy, and may not exactly be a romance, but has elements of both and very snappy dialogue. Not so much the thread with Reacher Gilt, because the clacks are a much more modern analogue, but the whole relationship between Moist and Miss Dearheart and their respective pasts. And I like films from the '30's and '40's, so it worked for me.
