when i read the logline, "the driving him nuts" part was what I was wanting more detail from...it didn't really sound that grave but when I read the synopsis about his controlling mom--i totally got it!
Thanks for the insight Sheetal. I will take a look at it and see how I can revise..

Too much description in the logline. I'd change it to:
A fourth generation mailman must keep his family from driving him nuts.
