Sam, a brilliant computer hacker seeking a better life, always seems to make the wrong choices, even under the watchful eye of his probation officer, Harry. Now, barred from using the Internet and stuck working fast food with his best friend and fellow hacker, Stanley, Sam poses as a Postal Worker, stealing people's mail to make ends meet. Until one letter changes everything. Written by the beautiful Josie to her dead husband, a Marine killed in Afghanistan, the heart-wrenching missive wakes something in Sam. Desperate to become worthy of such love, he begins following Josie and stealing more letters, until finally finding the courage to introduce himself. As Sam and Josie grow closer, she warms to the possibility of a new life as he's reminded of the values left behind in childhood. But fate shows its hand when Sam's past catches up with him in the form of an aggressive FBI agent and missing Bitcoins. When Josie discovers the truth, she must decide if the betrayal will force her back into her shell or give her the strength to follow her once-forgotten dreams, while Sam must choose whether to, yet again, be victimized by the mistakes of his past or finally stand up and become the man he's always intended to be.

| Film ThreatBradley GibsonIn summary, a romantic comedy/hacker heist turns sticky sweet positive affirmation meme. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshTechie buzzwords like “hacking” and “bitcoins” fly, but it’s all just for show. It’s not about the tech, despite a convoluted subplot with an FBI agent in pursuit. The real story is of Sam and Josie, but uneasy romance is misguided to be sure. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere's nary a believable moment, emotionally or otherwise, in No Postage Necessary, which also suffers from its overly treacly musical score composed by Closshey. The film bears as much relation to real life as cryptocurrency does to hard cash. |
| User ReviewMorgen CFun characters with an easy, enjoyable plot. Good for the whole family with some funny and touching moments. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI really enjoyed this movie that I had been expecting for a while :) The cast and creative did a brilliant job. The plot and the characters are convincing because nothing is « overdone ». So refreshing to see a romcom that actually works and that you canovered relate to. I laughed and cry because it moved me on different level. Special congratulations for the soundtrack which I can't wait to buy !!! I watched it on vevue which was so easy to use. |
| User ReviewSteve SWatched the independent film No Postage Necessary on Amazon Prime video last night. Great film and it was really fun seeing all the local Plant City spots and friends who were in the film. Plus, being somewhat of a technical geek, I thought the bitcoin and hacker parts in the movie were really interesting. Highly recommend you check it out! |
