The Package

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.

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 mean, there wasn't anything particularly hilarious at any given point, but it was a pretty cute movie. Another reviewer states how the gags didn't always work...giving the film a single star. I don't understand how not particularly enjoying a film translates it to being the absolute worst garbage you can possibly view, but this is by no means a 1-star film. Can we stop with that, guys? The characters are likable, even relatable, and some of the situations, while, not being "laugh out loud" funny as much as I'd have liked, will have you smiling.

A cute little film that's worth...eh, maybe a lazy Sunday afternoon.

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.

I didnt think this was terrible. It's the usual. It kept me entertained and I had a few giggles. If you have nothing better to do and want to dumb it down for a minute go for it. Given this is made by the guys from Workaholics, it's the same type of humor.
