The Package

The Package is a Netflix original that channels American Pie (1999) and other gross out teen comedies. It does however ramp it up quite a bit and provides surely the most dick jokes in one single film!

It tells the story of five friends who go camping, but when one drunkenly cuts his dick off it becomes a race against time to get him to the hospital and have it sewn back on.

Based on that premise I'm sure you think the movie will be crude, crass and infantile and you'd be entirely right. However thanks to a decent cast, script and direction it's actually an oddly hilarious little comedy.

The mostly unknown little cast did great here, Michael Eklund is also on hand to provide some veteran contributions and was great as always.

Not for weak stomachs be aware that when I say this is a gross out comedy I'm not exaggerating, it's pretty hardcore stuff as you'd imagine something that's centered entirely around decapitated genitals would be.

I laughed way more than I expected, I found our five leads to be surprisingly likeable and the whole thing was just a well put together goofy little movie.

I really enjoyed The Package and am not afraid to admit it, absolute laugh riot.

The Good:

Geraldine Viswanathan and Sadie Calvano

A lot of really hilarious stuff

The Bad:

Falters a tad in the final quarter

I've very rarely laugh out loud when I'm watching a film, but I laughed out loud several times whilst watching this film. I've read other peoples reviews, and no kids are not this stupid, but this is just a film, it is not reality. Suspend all belief in reality and just let this film wash over you, if you appreciate a few dick jokes you'll be wetting yourself with laughter. I'm 53 years old by the way.

My consensus is that it was an above average flick - not great by any stretch of the imagination - but still fun and nostalgic (remembering the simple idea of spending time with friends of both genders, with sexual tension amongst people). It certainly was a screw ball teen comedy with drinking, innuendos, and violence, humor, a touch of romance, and a well-rounded cast. It's safe to say most people have thick enough skin to put up with the film, despite how over the top it is.

After a long stream of seeing poor Netflix-produced films, I was surprised that the story made me laugh as much as I did. Sometimes you need some shock value- this did deliver.

Well i was able to predict the story out.. but it was funny. The script was hilarious.

One of those one time watch movies

I really don't understand some imdb reviewers. Everything is too the extreme. Worst movie ever? Really? These are the same people who say this about every movie they don't like. It's the WORST.

This movie isn't spectacular. It's ok. It's worth watching. I felt like the laughs were consistent, but a little weak. It runs about fifteen mins longer than it needs to be as well.
