Okay, to start this off: this movie is definitely NOT for kids. It definitely deserves its R-rating. Sausage Party is one of those movies that will make you say: what the hell am I watching?

To be frank(see what I did there?), this movie fulfilled every bit of expectation I had, no more and no less in its "well, I think I've seen enough" factor. What I mean by that, is that this is the most vulgar and xenophobic animated movie I've ever seen but in a good way. As obnoxious as this movie is, I can't help but giggle half the time when I'm watching it, even though how disgusting and indecent some of the scenes are, especially at the end. And mostly because of that, I will never see food the same way ever again(the animation is pretty good though).

Maybe my only true complaint about this movie was the ending, since it seems it was just tacked in there "just because" but to be fair, the movie was already weird as it is. So yeah, the ending for me felt kinda random and I feel that it should've ended in that particular scene before it but overall, I don't think it won't affect what most people thought about this film. Though I expect that this movie will offend a lot of people but to hell with that! let your immature side take over for a while and enjoy this film about food getting it on and on and on..... and on.

If you like humor that is both weird and outrageously crass but still remotely funny, then look no further since Sausage Party is the movie for you.

Observation manages to combine all of the stereotypes shared by different cultures of one another, intertwine this with raunchy humor, ultimately painting a portrait of how intolerable this the planet is becoming.

A few facts (for those whom would prefer NOT to hear the ramblings of a long- time film fanatic): The film has been estimated to have been built on a $19- million budget, grossing about $34-million opening weekend (USA). For your comparison: Finding Dori (2016) cost an estimated $200-million bringing in about $135-million opening weekend (USA). Whether a fan or not, there is clearly something to be said regarding the brilliance that is Seth Rogen.

One thing is clear: this was hand-crafted by Rogen and therefore filled extensively by his observations and humor from start to finish. The script was something he had in the works for nearly ten years!

I suspect many will turn away from this due to religious affiliation. I am an atheist but would stress that with all of the violence, racism, sexism, and every other "ism" in the world, that this was an attempt to address the way that many denominations and organizations are misunderstood by one another.

A female coworker at my office came by on Monday morning to exclaim that it was indigent humor, and I quote "racist." To those who would even have the slightest inkling of accusing this work racist, you have completely misunderstood. In fact, one of the messages that could be drawn from watching this would have to do with the necessity for removing the "racist" culture and indirect racism that can be created through attempting to group individuals by religious affiliation or any other characteristics.

DO NOT take your children. The entire run-time was packed with bad language, a ton of sexual innuendos, so you've been warned.

Enjoy the film, appreciate the message, don't take anything personally. It was not the intent of Rogen or any other Directors/Writers.

Oh, and just to make this "review-worthy"... the film uses various Super Market foods, drinks, and items to represent humans incorporating the different stereotypes often heard of for numerous Religions, ethnic groups, and sexual preferences/identities. By using such simple characters, it attempts to put some of the world's problems onto the simplest of stages for the world to see and take in for themselves.

----- 5/10 STARS -------- Review by Searsino -----

First of all, I want to say if you are a fun lover and animation movie fan then this is a fair choice for you. This is a movie with a good story, enough adult jokes, and a very good political message. It is a good combination of comedy and serious double meaning message. If you are confused about the theme then please don't listen anybody....just enjoy the fun.

This is a story about some sausage snacks who lived in a supermarket and they just want to expand their experience and they wanted one of any customer choose them and bring them home. A hot dog sausage named Frank with his friends, want to warn his friends of their terrifying future, and in the process, wages war with the human race. The story is charming and the script is full of energy to give you the right humor. If the question is the story, I think this is good.

Performance-wise Jonah Hill has done a very good job and Seth Rogen also has done a fair job with their voice. Rest of the cast is good. The storytelling style is nothing new. Sometimes I felt it is not new and Movie Like "cars" already use this strategy. So the style is predictable. First, 30 minutes the movie has horrible pace and the story is not gradually built but after all, pace is not bad. Animation quality is very good and the plot also holds some good point. The director duo Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon were trying to give you the fun and I think they are successful. Their effort was good but this movie could have been better if the directors would make some fast pace in the story.

If you a fun lover then don't listen anything or anybody, Just enjoy the fun and you will not regret.

I watched this during my final year of college and I really enjoyed the crude humour, the film tackles religion, consumerism, and existential dread pretty well & the animation was also very well done. There were parts of the movie which did feel like it dragged which was why I lowered the down to a 5 out of 10 star review.

I had eagerly waited to see this movie after having seen the trailer but WTF? So what was this all about? From the outset it slaps you in the face, punches you in the gut and finally goes below the belt for the final blows!! Every second word was a profanity, I'm no choir boy when it comes to swearing but WTF! The underlying plot of the movie was simple, predictable and centered around the "love" of a hot dog for a bun BUT there were definitely twists and turns in the story with the final twist ending the movie in an unexpected way. There were some really good characters in it, Edward Norton's voice as Bagel - excellent, and reminded me of a young Woody Allen. Did the film make me laugh? absolutely despite being the crudest, rudest, smuttiest film I've seen in a long time - Would I recommend that you watch it? yes as long as you have a tough skin!

Food is eager and anxious to be chosen from the supermarket shelves, to be taken to a supposed better place, unaware they are going to die on people's kitchen counters and stove tops.

This film has its audience, fans, but I guess I'm not on of them, because I only had a handful of laughs from this. My favourite scene was the horror-tone moment when they witness some of their number being sliced, diced, and cooked by the girl, to their horror. Some of the gags were stoner material, and I'm not stoned, so I wasn't amused. The gross-out gags were hit and miss, but overall I kept wondering, "Where is this going?"

The film is well animated, and that makes it worth watching at least once, as a rental, or on Netflix, at home, but if I was watching this at home, I might not have watched the entire movie.

This was very amusing & clever, however it could do without the gratuitous f-bombs. We've all heard the word before, it could be used less with greater effectiveness. As usual, it's perfectly acceptable to call white people crackers all the time, and yea, I get that it's an anthropomorphic adventure, but is that supposed to be funny? It's not.

Sausage Party was probably one of the funnier movies I have seen this year, yet its mediocre storyline, and villain kept me from truly enjoying it. It is definitely a rated R film, and if you're not into sex, drugs, and cursing, than this is not your type of movie. So in the end I decided to give Sausage Party and "Alright" on theVade Review Bar or a 5 out of 10. Although it gave me a good laugh at times, it was nothing more than just a limp wiener.

From beginning to end, this movie seems like it wants to be a kids' movie, but it's not and it keeps hopping back and forth across that line over and over again.

It was repeatedly cringey, over and over, and not in a good way, when I was watching it. I expected it to be good in a Seth Rogan kind of way, but was pretty much completely disappointed.

Then, I read recently that he and his wife decided a while ago to not have children, and that's how they are going to live their lives. Suddenly it clicked for me.

This movie is made by people, for people, who have never matured to the point where they have to care for and raise little people, called kids. What I like to call man-babies. Basically what we're hearing more and more that a larger percentage of men are becoming, just adult versions of the people they were when they were 13.

So, if you're one of those adult-babies (woman or man) who hasn't matured fully to adulthood yet, and maybe never will, depending on your completely personal decision about having descendants, you'll like this movie.

But, it just seems childish in a fully adult kind of way to the rest of us, really weird, from beginning to end.

Animation has the ability to give live to things that we previously would have never considered. Disney and Pixar in particular have brought cars, toys, rats, bugs, fish, and robots a humanized life and a study on what their purpose is, now with thoughts and feelings. There's a magic within that, so it's not uncommon for other things we could explore to see what their perspective of the world would be like. For toys in Toy Story, it's a joy land of children and imagination, but with a dark side of childhood eventually ending. For bugs in A Bugs Life, it's more of a survival of the fittest as their several kinds of insects out there. How about food?

Today's movie shows that food may have the worst when it comes to their purpose. Writer and actor Seth Rogan not only wanted to explore what that world of humanized food would be like, but to do in his adult context. R rated animated movies are a rarity, but it's nice to see a studio like Sony take a chance on a risk. You could even argue that because adult cartoons are more popular on television now, R rated animated films could have a bigger opportunity. Let's see if Sausage Party invoke more adult animated stories.

In a market called "Shopwells", each morning opens with the food signing (it's made clear in the beginning that people cannot see them move or talk) about their desire to be chosen by the "gods" to be taken out of the store into the "Great Beyond". One area with all the forth of July food, contains sausages and buns. One sausage, Frank (played by Seth Rogan), along with Carl (played by Jonah Hill) and Barry (played by Michael Cera) are hoping to be chosen with a set of buns next to them, which contains Frank's girlfriend, Brenda (played by Kristen Wiig).

When a jar of honey mustard commits suicide, this causes the shopping cart where the sausages and buns were chosen to collapse. This causes Frank and Brenda to slip out of their packaging, leaving them behind in the store while everyone else goes to the "Great Beyond". Frank and Brenda are told to go to a set of imperishable foods to learn the truth about their existence. Along the way, they encounter a taco lesbian Teresa (played by Selma Hayek), a Jewish bagel Sammy Bagel Jr (played by Edward Nortin) and bottle of Liquor Firewater (played by Bill Hader).

I cannot stress enough of how important it is to understand that Sausage Party is not for children. I'm twenty-nine and I'm not old enough for this. I'm not even sure if my parents are old enough for this. There is so much swearing, violence, and sexual content (including a three minute food orgy somewhere), that Sausage Party has earned it's R rating and them some. Within all the crass is a well-written script that is sort of an analogy to real life religion. While I wouldn't call this movie an atheist story, I can understand that many people would be turned off.

I can defiantly say it's a smart script, though I'll admit that the constant crass does wear off after a while. It's funny, but when your dialogue is almost nothing but swears, it makes for a repetitive attitude that I doubt the film is aware of. Story wise, it does feel a little stretched (and this is an eighty minute movie). Part of me thinks this might have worked better as an hour long special on Netflix, but you can still tell by the number of comedians in this along with some great animation that Sausage Party has it's moments.

I'll give this five hot dog sausages out of ten. Sausage Party is an acquired taste movie, and though I might watch it once more, I can see a lot of people playing this at parties. Speaking of which, Sausage Party is an ADULT PARTY ONLY. LEAVE THE KIDS AT HOME!

Sausage Party is an adult animated comedy film that takes place in Shopwell's supermarket. Life is good for all the food items that occupy the shelves at the local supermarket. Frank (Seth Rogen), the sausage, Brenda (Kristen Wiig), the hot dog bun, Teresa Taco, and Sammy Bagel Jr. (Edward Norton) can't wait to go home with a happy customer. The once-happy supermarket shelves are plunged into chaos and despair as poor Frank learns the horrifying truth that they will eventually become meals. After warning his pals about their similar fate, the panicked perishables devise a plan to escape from their human enemies.

I like the film because it's funny, irreverent, and cleverer than its premise suggests. My favorite character is Frank, a heroic sausage who is willing to help the other foods and who dreams of living with his significant other, Brenda, in the Great Beyond. Frank is different from the other hot dogs, as they long for proof or evidence of their belief system. He is also inquisitive and determined to find out the truth. Frank is taught many things while growing up in Shopwell's grocery store, including that hot dogs "grow up." I would recommend this 5-star film to anyone under 17 who needs an adult to see it, and it is suitable for adults who enjoy raunchy humor and satire.

Does that mean that it was an intolerable piece of unfinished rawness? Not really, it's definitely not for everyone, and I at times struggled to get through the raunchy, juvenile and terrifying scenes more than once filled with as much gore that can be made by food.

But I had a few laughs and I liked how it spoofed both Disney and Pixar and a lot of other films and such. It had enough far-fetched scenes without the loudness and inuendos to be pretty funny at times. I may not be seeing it again soon, but it had enough meat to make up for the abundance of food puns and juvenile nature.

Shout-out to Alan Menken for composing the catchy music for Sausage Party!

This movie is hilarious, but awkward. I liked the comedy, but the last 5 minutes is , ahm, strange (I was blushing even watching it alone).

Im giving 5 stars in comparing this animation to other good animation with good stories. First, the story is just mediocre, like an adult version of low budget toy story. Is not a breakthrough story, more like emoji movie kind of story. Second, I appreciate the idea of matching the story to nowadays issues, like religious and racial issues. I get the messages that they want to tell us about god and creation, human relations and love. Third, There is so many things that cannot make sense like how the foods walking, (while toy story make it more logical, like the toys is 'play dead' when there are human around.) Overall, this animation is not so bad about the meaning, but I can't really enjoy the jokes, really just flat emotions throughout the film.

I watched this movie with low expectations; I was surprised that it wasn't that bad. It's not as dumb as I thought it was although the message was a little more obvious than other movies. Even still it deserves props for having any, I will not say the message here it's much better when you see it you will understand everything it tries to say. If you're looking for a great movie this isn't it. If you need time to kill this movie is a little fun.

Sausage Party was disappointing. It wasn't that funny and mostly boring. The animation was very well done, but this was mostly unpleasant and not about much. It's like Secret Life of Pets or Toy Story, but boring and filthy. It was the filthiest cartoon I've seen since South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.

It was pretty funny but a bit out there towards the end, especially the last scene. overall just a bit weird but if you're into that kinda thing then sure you should watch it. it's just very profane and inappropriate.

The plot of the movie was interesting for an animated movie. When, I first heard that it's an R-rated animated movie, I was kinda curious about how it would be portrayed. It was so SEVERE. The characters were so funny. Most scenes were hilarious but, so inappropriate. The jokes, actually the sex jokes were so funny. Of course, sometimes it was boring, but so enjoyable the same time. The ending scene was so unexpected, I was speechless.

Sausage Party Is now the worst movie ever from 2016 along with Norm Of The North, this is nothing but a rip-off to Veggietales, Annoying Orange and Aqua Teen Hunger Force which are way better than this.
