Hot on the heels of its trailblazing Blockchain release, Two Roads Picture Co. have announced that indie dramedy No Postage Necessary will be available on Blu-ray and DVD October 2, 2018. An ardent tribute to love and redemption, No Postage Necessary is “a sweet and heartfelt movie” (Mind on Movies) to which audiences can immediately relate, suggesting no one is as good nor as bad as we think and that we can chose to change our own destiny. The Blu-ray comes filled with behind the scenes bonus content, while both the DVD and Blu-ray editions feature the music video for film track “Talk About Love” - performed by No Postage Necessary star Charleene Closshey.
Directed by Jeremy Culver (Radical Kindness) and starring George Blagden (Les Misérables) and Charleene Closshey (An Evergreen Christmas), No Postage Necessary is “stunning in its sincerity,” and “exudes a simplicity and quiet authenticity” (The Independent Critic). The film was shot in Tampa, Florida, the filmmakers' hometown, on Kodak 35mm film and is a unique reflection of the Gulf Coast city and neighboring communities with an Americana vibe “as good as your granny’s apple pie” (Irish Film Critic).
Wrong decisions seem apparent for Sam (Blagden), a convicted computer hacker, whose single, jaded and barred from using the Internet. Forced to crash on his brother's couch, he makes ends meet by working at the local Twistee Treat and stealing mail while disguised as a postal worker. Then, a single pink envelope changes everything. Handwritten by a heartsick Josie (Closshey) to her late husband and fallen Marine, the tender missive awakens something in Sam. Desperate to be worthy of such love, he conspires to meet the beautiful, young war widow, longing to become a better man. As the two grow closer, she warms to the idea of a new chance at love, but not before Sam's past comes knocking in the form of an FBI agent looking for missing bitcoins.
No Postage Necessary is directed and written by Jeremy Culver and was produced by Culver along with Closshey by Two Roads Picture Co. Additional cast members include Robbie A Kay (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Raymond J. Barry (Just Married), Michael Beach (Aquaman), Stelio Savante (Blood In The Water) and Michelle Moreno (UnREAL).
My Thoughts
No Postage Necessary is a cute romance that centers around a con-artist named Sam. He's already been arrested for hacking computers, but that hasn't taught him to mend his ways. When his dead-end job fails to earn him the cash he needs, he turns to dressing as a mailman and stealing mail from the neighborhood boxes. He's really never cared about anyone, until he meets Josie. Well, before he actually meets her, he opens up her mail , and reads a letter she wrote to her husband who was killed in action. Sam is touched by her words and they make him want to be a better person. He devises a way to meet her, and the two have some real chemistry. Then, just when Josie is starting to believe she could fall in love again, she learns about Sam's shady past. Will she get past it and love him anyway or will his bad boy past scare her away for good?
I really enjoyed this sweet romance. Having had a history of falling for the bad body myself, I could see why Josie was so taken with Sam. I related to her even more because my first husband passed away as well, and I know how hard it is to move on from that type of loss. I was rooting for them, even though a part of me wanted to warn her away from danger. If you want to see how it all turns out, grab a copy of his DVD for yourself on Amazon or in stores nationwide.
