Story: A veteran postman finds his beliefs challenged after he enters a TV talent show competition.
Likes : Postman Pat has always a family favourite for kids which they are still all have fondness for when it was on tv. This was always going to be a film that would go either way, the amount of talent on board, my general love for family films and for Postman Pat could have suggested that the film would be fun and charming
The film dose have its moments The film begins very promisingly with a very idyllic opening that was the closest the Tv show, they add the few Big Time song which is great with some very funny visual gags, the montage where Pat meets his wife for the first time was very touching and the "Faster Pussy-Bot, Kill Kill!" seemed like a Daleks reference which it was in this case a clever one at that.
The soundtrack is catchy and bring energy to the film and the voice cast are good and very enthusiastic, David Tennant sounds like he's having a whale of a time but Steven Mangan, who's very sympathetic and dead-on as Pat, and Jim Broadbent acquit themselves very well too.
This is an ok film for children but beware some scene seem to be a little too frightening i would say for under , for a U cert this was a little odd.so this may appeal to some kids & family but not all will like this.
Dislikes : I can see why this final in the cinema really because at best its a DVD release, it dose try it best to be like the original tv series but, where they failed that made the story line in to some x factor concept with pat sing for something, this just its the concept of postmen pat at all this is why this failed to appeal to some many audiences.
Overall : Great music, great acting, just poor scripting lets this film down
Rating: 4 out of 5 for entertainment / 4 out of 10 for story concept.
