Read Kelsi's Review of No Postage Necessary.
Sam (George Blagden) always seems to make the wrong decision. A convicted computer hacker, he's 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 (Charleene 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 be
No Postage Necessary is in select theaters on July 6th, 2018.
Such a sweet and heartfelt movie, No Postage Necessary was directed by Jeremy Culver.
It focused on a felonious computer hacker by the name of Sam (George Blagden). Sam, on
probation after just getting out of jail, can only work a minimum wage job. Not being able to
afford anything on his own, he lives with his brother. Before you know it, he begins to steal mail
in hopes of finding enough money to make ends meet. It seemed as though Sam always ended up
making the wrong decisions. That would soon change though, after stealing one very particular
pink envelope and reading what was inside.
Charleene Closshey (Josie) played a young widow raising her only daughter with her
father Jack (Raymond Barry). When Josie and Sam’s paths crossed, she thought it was nothing
but fate. Sam fell in love quickly and knew he had to change his life around for the better, if he
ever wanted a real chance of being with Josie. While we watch this soon to be tragic love story
go down, there is a whole other debacle happing right under Sam’s nose. Co-worker and friend
Stanley (Robbie Kay) hadn’t quite given up the computer hacking lifestyle. As bitcoins end up
missing from Sam’s FBI agents black-market account, Sam is the first to be blamed. Knowing
that this agent has broken the law before, just to put Sam in jail, Sam fears he will go to great
lengths to do it again. Just what happens next, is left for you to find out?
I really did enjoy watching this movie. Two completely different people living different
lifestyles end up coming together. It was everything but accidental and the implausible twists at
the end are sure to keep you on edge. It was sappy and cute but also gave insight on the life of a
felon. Not everything is set in stone and a second chance is possible when you try hard enough. I
did however; find it slightly creepy when they brushed off stalking, as romance. Sam was flat out
stalking Josie and that seemed to be deemed ok in the movie because he was “in love with her.”
Weird, but all in all if you’re down for a cute heartfelt movie than you should definitely check
out No Postage Necessary.
Rating: 4 out of 5
