Strong characters make a film more entertaining, especially in an action/comedy. In The Wrong Package, Alex and Mr. Brown are total opposites, and their differences create both chaos and comedy.
Alex
Alex is a broke, sarcastic delivery guy who just wants to finish his job and leave. He’s lazy, avoids drama, and doesn’t believe in conspiracy theories, until he meets Mr. Brown. As things spiral out of control, Alex is forced to think fast, and question what’s actually happening. By the end, he’s still the same sarcastic guy, but now he’s a little more paranoid, too.
Mr. Brown
Mr. Brown is convinced everyone is out to get him. Whether he’s a former spy or just watched too many action movies is unclear, but he does not trust Alex. He’s dramatic, over-the-top, and ready to fight. While he starts off defensive, by the end, he kind of trusts Alex, but still refuses to let go of his paranoia.
Why They Work Together
Alex and Mr. Brown’s opposite personalities make their interactions hilarious:
• Alex is chill, Mr. Brown is intense.
• Alex avoids trouble, Mr. Brown starts it.
• Alex is confused, Mr. Brown makes things worse.
They don’t want to work together, but their crazy situation forces them to. Their dynamic keeps the film fun, fast-paced, and full of ridiculous moments.
