The Package (2018)

Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating

When a group of teenagers goes on a spring break camping trip, an unfortunate accident sets off a race to save their friend’s most prized possession.

The Quartile Take

The Package is a raunchy teen comedy built around a single outrageous premise — a severed penis that must be reattached before time runs out. The concept is genuinely absurd and committed enough to earn a modest novelty bump, as few films center their entire plot on this particular MacGuffin. However, the execution is largely by-the-numbers: the characters are stock teen archetypes, the humor is juvenile and uneven, and the acting is serviceable at best. Cinematography is functional and unremarkable, befitting a Netflix original of this tier. The ending resolves predictably with little dramatic or comedic payoff beyond the premise's novelty wearing thin. It's a one-joke movie that stretches its central gag to feature length with diminishing returns.
