Package Tour

About This Movie

Package Tour is one of those offbeat comedies that captures the quirky essence of a holiday gone awry. Directed by Lasse Åberg, it follows Stig-Helmer and Ole Bramserud as they embark on a somewhat chaotic journey to the Canary Islands for Christmas. The pacing is relaxed, almost meandering at times, which adds to the overall charm. You get this feeling of warmth mixed with absurdity as the duo encounters various eccentric characters along the way. The performances are genuine, especially Åberg's portrayal of the hapless Stig-Helmer, making the mundane feel oddly amusing. There’s a lovely use of practical effects to enhance the comedic moments, which gives it an endearing, low-budget vibe. It's a unique snapshot of 80s Scandinavian humor.
