“The Package,” a Netflix Original Movie about some camping high schoolers racing to bring their friend’s recently-severed penis to the hospital before it’s too late. The film is essentially one long joke about a dick, with various gags built into that concept, as if it wants to be the movie that says the word “dick” more than any production with roots to the Judd Apatow family tree. It might just be the winner of that designation, or at the very least, it deserves some type of special achievement award.
Anyways, on their first night of camping, a drunken Jeremy cuts his organ off while waving a switchblade around during some cliffside urination (hey, it happens). Flying through the air in slow motion, this very self-amused movie now has its main centerpiece, a dismembered member. Though the story struggles to take off with its main plot, which involves everyone finding the willie in the woods and then getting it to the hospital within 12 hours, the tone is what’s noticeable, if too tricky here—the disturbing event is never played too seriously, despite the loss of blood, or the general trauma. What results is either very informative and relaxed about the possibilities of penile reattachment surgery, or ill-informed and willfully negligent in a way that’s kind of hilarious.
