The Package’s Heart-racing Experience – Movie Review

Posted at 12:18 pm under Uncategorized

Five friends leave on a camping weekend and one leaves without a very important part of him. “The Package,” tells this story about friends who are in a fight against the clock to get their friend an important part of him to make him complete again. This movie will take you on a fun rollercoaster of a ride as they try to get out of the woods and help their friend.

As with any movie about kids in high school, there comes your stereotypical love square as the film features Sean who is in love with Becky while also being Jeremy’s brother, and Sarah and Donnie who just recently broke up, but potentially have feelings for each other. This takes place while the teens are as awkward as can be to add some cringeworthy moments to the film.

By looking at the first couple of paragraphs, you might want to cozy down with your children and enjoy a nice wholesome family film, right? WRONG!! This is not the innocent film that it may seem on first glance. The whole point of the camping trip is to get drunk underage, and potentially lead to some sex in the woods.

The film is very erratic in nature, and that erratic style keeps you on the edge of your seat multiple times. I could find myself picturing what would happen next, and most of the time it would happen with a major twist that you didn’t see coming that kept you watching for more.

Overall, this is an enjoyable film on a weekend to laugh at, cringe at, and wince at as the five high schoolers navigate a serious dilemma with some not-so-serious drama sprinkled in. This movie earns a four out of 5 stars purely for its ability to keep me watching and waiting for more.

    It’s on Netflix. These are non–name actors, but that could be mentioned. OK on plot summary (which doesn’t seem to need much).
