Nice Package Trailers

A wannabe professional thief has an epic fail when he's caught stealing a package and forced to take a young woman as hostage back to his gay friend's house where, despite pressure from his deranged, yoga-loving boss, he can't dispense with her and instead the three face a bunch of quirky thugs sent by the boss who will do anything to get his hands on the mysterious 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.

Wasn't expecting much from this film, but it kept us entertained and the characters were fun. Liked the car scene at the beginning and the bad guys were kinda wacky...especially when they are alone eating burgers, that scene is disturbing. The gas station scene comes to mind as one the better moments...you will see what i mean.The soundtrack gives it a kinda pulp fiction feel.It keeps you guessing about the package and I suppose that is the main point of the film, but there is some funny dialogue and moments along the way.The ending could have been better, but overall it was worth a watch.

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.

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.
