Going Postal is a wonderful fantasy comedy adventure and the best adaptation of a Terry Pratchett book. The story follows the adventures of Moist Von Lipwig as he survives a hanging to be given a choice of death or running the post office. The adventure takes place in Discworld and includes characters such as vampires (on the wagon), golems, banshees, etc...If you are not familiar with Terry Pratchett he is a fantasy writer that is quite humorous in his prose. In various books, such as this one, he explores a need and the creation of a solution to that need, in this case the improvement of the post office. The exceptional cast includes Richard Coyle, David Suchet, Andrew Sachs and the delightful Charles Dance. This is quite an enjoyable movie in two parts
