Nice Package

One thing that bores me about a lot of crime comedies is that they put so much effort into proving how gritty, cool and badass they are that they forget to give the viewer a good time. Nice Package is a refreshing exception. It certainly doesn't take itself too seriously and as a result, it is just simply good fun to watch.

Quick paced while leaving enough breathing room for healthy dialogue, the storyline has plenty of twists, yet didn't leave me scrambling for the pause button to make sense of it. The characters have depth enough to make them genuinely relatable (some more inexplicably likable than others) and it wasn't long after meeting them that I'd familiarised with their respective personalities, which vary from deadpan dry to comical flamboyance.

There is a very "current" feel to the film with plenty of pop-culture references to dress it with a splash of relevance and slatherings of cool whilst remaining down to earth enough to evade the pretentiousness that often comes with the crime comedy territory.

The acting is appalling, I don't think they are professional actors. Everything is so cheap and sad. The jokes and the "funny" scenes are vulgar and stupid. Like when the bad guys are partying and destroying the apartment of the main guy...what was that? Perhaps funny for a 7 years old boy. And again, the acting...jeez...

Nice Package is sure to be a hit!! I loved every 92 minutes of this movie and have been raving to friends since reviewing it. It really is fully loaded with laughs and is lots of fun to watch.

The story hooks you from the beginning and entices you to follow the package along with the brilliant characters along the interesting journey.

Nice Package is a full of great characters who burst through the screen and strengthen the story, due to the well appointed cast. Although the cast collectively are reasonably unknown the feeling is an "all star" cast in this film- they're exceptional & each plays their role with flare.

There really has not been a great Australian film like this for some time. Additionally it is wonderful to see a film we can export internationally and be proud of the finished product.

Nice Package is a roller coaster ride of thrills....A truly unique and exciting film!! A MUST WATCH. I really enjoyed it.

Querky, interesting plot and just fun. Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels. One to watch again.

Sorry to the actors and all the crew, because I know the work and money that goes into making a movie. But the writing and plot were childlike , the movie was full of clichés, the gay guy was a poor imitation of Zach galifianakis , the directing was poor and it was very predictable at every turn. You will find one or two moments to snigger at lightly but on the whole, this is a very disappointing and poor attempt at a comedy crime movie. I gave it 2 in support of the actors who are not at fault . It is always sad to see this type of movie being done over and over again with nothing new to show and this was the epitome of that. Originality is difficult to find, but with a bit of talent it can be created.
