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
