Synopsis
Like always, Postman Pat is happily going about his duty delivering letters and parcels around the fictional town of Greendale. One day, auditions for the TV talent show, "You're the One", are held in Greendale, which Pat manages to pass. With Pat required to be away from Greendale whilst participating in the contest, various Patbot 3000 robots are deployed to take Pat's postal duties. This soon turns out to be an evil plot to take over the world, which Pat must now stop.

Postman Pat: The Movie is one of the best family films to come down the pike this year. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Sure, there are lapses in logic. But nice messaging, some zippy dance moves and a great use of the classic tune "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" end this charming, adult-friendly tale on a high note. - 60
Total Film
Without much in the way of nudge-wink Pixar-style humour and pathos, mums and dads are less likely to be quite so enthralled. - 60
The New York Times
Viewers unencumbered by nostalgia will probably see this zippy, occasionally funny movie as no more frantic or pop-culture-addled than the average multiplex fodder. - 40
The Guardian
I'd never want to stand in the way of artists pushing things, but messing with Postman Pat is probably a step too far. - 40

The 6-year-old I watched it with summed it up perfectly: “It starts out fun but then it’s kinda sad and scary. And sorta boring, too.”
