Juvenile, but with some Hidden Depths

A fun dark comedy about the insane premise of sentient food struggling through an existential crisis of being eaten by humans. As usual for most Seth Rogan comedies, the comedy is pretty hit-or-miss with an unhealthy reliance on cheap stoner humor, excessive swearing, intercourse jokes, and shock value. However, there is a surprising layer of thoughtful commentary on the affects of religion as a means of a coping mechanism against our inevitable mortality. How it can be used for good or evil, depending on who wields the power of prophecy. And how atheists must be careful to not push away their theistic loved ones or else suffer a fate of loneliness. However, the blatant mistreatment of the animators is disgusting and should be condemned. Overall, I laughed more times than I cringed, so ultimately I'd recommend this as long as you have decent stomach for Seth Rogan's raunchy comedies.

A graphic religious allegory (and not for kids)

Nothing in the trailers will prepare you for this movie, including what it's actually about. SAUSAGE PARTY is an allegory about religion and how ridiculous it is, but also about how we can overcome our differences and learn to get along. Granted, there is no solution proposed nor does the humor rarely rise above obvious sexual puns and stereotypes (different foods represent ethnic groups, minorities, etc.), but the throw-everything-at-the-wall approach guarantees that at least some of it sticks. And importantly, for a comedy, there are plenty of genuine laughs to be had. Then there's the ending, which I will not spoil. Suffice it to say that it seemed oddly appropriate...and that you can get away with quite a bit more in an animated film than live-action. This wasn't the craziest or funniest thing I've ever seen, but it made for a few dollars and a couple hours well-spent.

Animated Seth Rogen comedy is as funny and irreverent as you'd expect

It's dirty and it's fun!

There are two sequences in this animated film, one in the first half and the other in the second half, that are both hilarious and I don't say that often. The rest is good enough, but it's those two parts that make this special, though I suppose a somewhat dirty cartoon for adults is in itself kind of special. It's the humorous, though also sad, story of store foods that believe that when they are sold they go the some sort of paradise. A few are non-believers and thus begins the religious metaphors. The voice work is great especially from Seth Rogan who is pretty much the lead as well as one of the co-writers. Not all of this works, but what does is pretty cool.

An enjoyable send up of Disney Pixar films

Sausage Party is an adult CGI animated comedy film. I'm a big fan of Disney Pixar animated movies and this film is a fun and enjoyable parody of them. Even though the humour sometimes felt forced, the film's message of self-discovery is what I believe holds it up.

At "Shopwell's" supermarket, all the anthropomorphic groceries on sale dream of one day being picked by customers to be taken to their new homes. However, some of the groceries soon learn the terrible truth of what happens to them once they have been purchased by humans. A sausage named Frank (voiced by Seth Rogen) attempts to warn his fellow Shopwell's grocery items of their inevitable fate before it is too late.

Filled to the brim with crude jokes and political incorrectness, Sausage Party is an enjoyable send up of Disney Pixar films. The animation was nice to look at and definitely on par with most of today's CGI animated features. The jokes didn't always work, but the ones that did had me laughing out loud. This film is not for the easily offended and definitely not for children, but if you enjoy the comedy of Seth Rogen and his stoner buddies, then I recommend seeing it.

I rate it 7/10.

Definitely an Original Comedy

Say what you want about this movie but at the very least acknowledge that this is a creative story. Sausage Party is about a sausage that learns the true fate of all the food that resides at Shopwell. He must convince his girlfriend as well as everyone else the truth before it is too late. While all of this is going on a douche wants to seek revenge on the sausage and his girlfriend.

There is not much of an intriguing plot to the story. What the movie does have is many funny gags and jokes to keep the viewer entertained throughout. These jokes are however pretty dirty and vulgar and will make you think "did he just say that?". This movie is certainly not for kids or adults who dislike heavy amounts of violence and sex in their movies. This movie also really focuses on religion to the point where you are about to say enough, we get it. It didn't get under my skin like so many other reviewers on this site. I still found myself enjoying most of the banter though.

This movie will offend a lot of people much like Seth Macfarlane's projects. If you enjoy shows like Family Guy and American Dad you will definitely really enjoy this movie.

Very Funny

I was shocked how much I had fun with this movie. I usually don't enjoy Seth Rogen/Evan Goldberg comedies, but this movie was much more unique. While there was still raunchy and drug humor throughout the movie, the combination of this and the animation made it even more hilarious. The voice cast was surprisingly great. Even though the voices are noticeable, it fit well with the character they were playing. One of my favorites was Bill Hader voicing a Native American –type alcohol bottle. The things that happen throughout the movie are so strange that I could not believe what I was witnessing. The ending of this film was easily the most I've laugh this year. Anyways, this movie is not for everyone. The film is a bit stupid, but that's intentional. The film did not have as much laugh-out-loud moments as I wanted, but that is not really the movies fault. The trailers gave away so much funny bits in the movie, that the hype for the movie would have never been met. But, overall I had a great time with this movie.

Uh. It was, interesting.

I thought the movie was funny, love all the actors. But I have to say, I was pretty disturbed and as soon as I left the movies I went home and they made tacos which was even more disturbing then I originally thought. So as I am eating my taco, I wanted to throw up but laugh at the same time. I don't really know how to feel about this movie then say it was interesting. Not something you see everyday. Still can't look at food the same way just yet but you know, I'm getting there. Hot dogs were already ruined for me when I ate a moldy hot dog one time. No harm done there. It was quite an interesting movie.. Thanks for the laugh and the vomit still coming out of my mouth. You're the real MVP.

A Funny Wonderful Journey To Seek Out The Truth

I recently seen this hilarious comedy piece at my local theater and i would say that i didn't regret it. Seth Rogen( as well as most of the cast list) is already well known comedians. The movie was never a bore to me (there were some slow parts, but there was always surprises) and it's a great movie if you've ever watched The Night Before, 50/50, or Super Bad. What i found interesting was that Greg Tiernan (Directed Thomas & Friends) and Conrad Vernon (directed Shrek) made this film look so kid friendly and delighting to watch at the start, and then just really made it raunchy, disturbingly obscene, and utterly hilarious that it was without the doubt the best change-up for a beginning of a rated R animated film. It really does deserve a rating of 7, without a doubt it's as funny as it looks on TV previews, but it's even more shocking once you watch it. Now, there is many parts where it did get a little slow and not all of the jokes were funny, nor did everything run its course like other "kid-friendly" animated films, but it did do a good job at explaining the question, "What would it look like if food had human personalities and were conscious of their surroundings?" So in the end would i recommend this film to watch at home with your eight year old child? Hell no i wouldn't, but when you're at home or want to watch something funny and new then this is the movie.

It's More Than What You Expect It To Be

I was moderately interested in this film just from looking at one trailer; I was open to the vulgarity of the film, but I didn't think it would be as good as it was.

The theme of the film and the delivery is genius by my rating.

The base of it's humor is sexual jokes, blunt insult and passive aggressive sarcasm; so if it isn't in your taste then you clearly won't enjoy it. I highly suggest to avoid taking younger viewers. The film delivers to both those that enjoy the immature types of humor and those that like the sophisticated hidden humor (you have to have some base knowledge to understand the jokes).

The reason for the high rating is the films use of personification; if you're well educated in the sense that you understand different cultures then you'll definitely laugh at some point.

The plot isn't all that great as it's a search for knowledge type so the searching part is what is typically hard to illustrate in films. All in all, this watch could be added to your itinerary and compliment an easy going night.

Should Seth Rogen Write Children's Movies? Let's Take a Look at The New Raunchy Comedy Sausage Party!

Should Seth Rogen Write Children's Movies? Let's Take a Look at The New Raunchy Comedy Sausage Party!

IS THIS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET STONED WHILE WATCHING CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS?!

Life is good for all the food items that occupy the shelves at the local supermarket. Frank, played by Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Neighbors) is the hot dog, Brenda, played by Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, 2016's Ghostbusters) is the hot dog bun, Teresa Taco, played by Salma Hayek (Frida, Everly) and Sammy Bagel Jr. played by Edward Norton (Fight Club, American History X) can't wait to go home with a happy customer, because they see human beings as Gods. Soon, their world comes crashing down as poor Frank learns the horrifying truth that he will eventually become a tasty mouth watering meal. After warning his pals about their similar fate, the panicked perishables devise a plan to escape from their human enemies. Sausage Party is raunchy, rowdy, completely insane, and an animated blast at the theater.

Once again, we have the entire Seth Rogen entourage returning in this movie. We have James Franco (Fly Boys, Pineapple Express), Jonah Hill (Superbad, 21 Jump Street), Michael Cera (Superbad, This is the End), Danny McBride (Your Highness, This is the End), Paul Rudd (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Ant-Man), Bill Hader (Superbad, Trainwreck), Craig Robinson (Knocked Up This is the End), David Krumholtz (The Santa Clause, The Judge), and Nick Kroll (Get Him to the Greek, Dinner for Schmucks) . They all do exceptional voices, especially Bill Hader.

From the opening scene, you are already on edge, smiling, giggling, and you soon find yourself busting your gut and spilling laughter. It was such a funny and clever opening. Especially if you know how a majority of children's animation movies open. The directors of this movie are Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, Puss in Boots) and Greg Tiernan. So these two know how to craft an exceptional animated film, and once again, they proof to us they can do it again.

LET'S SPOON! FORK OFF!

Even though this film is offensive, foul, use a ton of profanity, it actually is thought provoking, entertaining, funny, and has a message to its audience. The movie actually does get a little emotional and mentally deep. For instance, how is peanut butter made without the death of peanuts? How is jelly made when you murder grapes? What makes us who we are? Etc. This movie had me laughing aloud when I first saw the trailer. On the other hand, the actual film is trying to show us a message. A message about religion, God(s), race, politics, history, war, separation, poking fun at Disney movies, stereotypes, how and what we consume in our bodies for fuel, health, and I'm sure there are a lot more I may have missed. You gather all these themes, put them in an R rated animated film and you get Sausage Party (even though our main character Frank is a hot dog).

TOO MUCH MUSTARD ON THAT ONE

The movie was not consistently laugh aloud funny as if I thought it would be. After a while, the profanity got a little stale. Yes, I understand a hot dog saying f#ck is funny, but they could have toned it down. In addition, the movie gets a little too wrapped up in the message it wants to share with the viewer(s) at times. One thing I personally found awkward, was it felt like the movie kept reminding us we are in an R rated animated film. FOOD FIGHT!

Accordingly, the film starts to show us more of this world. We start to realize it's not just food that is alive. Condoms, bathroom supplies, and other objects come to life as well. I really felt bad for toilet paper. In the film, a hot dog asks toilet paper, "What do they (the humans) do to you?" Toilet paper responds, "You don't want to f#cking know." At this point, this is when the food and other objects get together to fight the humans, and fight for what they believe in.

So these are my final Bitchin' Buddha thoughts on Sausage Party. I enjoyed the film, I thought it was smart, had a message, and made for good entertainment. Some of the jokes do fall a little flat, and get old. Nevertheless, they make up for it in so many clever ways. Please if you have children do not take them to see this movie! Unless you want your child to have a panic attack in the middle of a Publix. I believe Sausage Party earns…

7 Sausages Out of 10!

Hilarious, had me in tears.

This cartoon is funny. Like, 'f*ck a guy' funny.

There are so many great jokes in this and the way it's written makes them perfect. Anyone who enjoys dark/adult humour is guaranteed to have a lot of laughs.

PS. Firewater is legit.

Almost Great

This film is the first movie in a very long time that has renewed my belief that you can challenge social boundaries head-on.

Some of the characters are hilarious, some of the dialog, while not clever, is great because it's willing to confront social taboos.

WARNING! No matter how open minded you are, this movie is not for children. This is totally an adults only movie. There is some violent and gruesome imagery, many explicit references to sex and homosexuality. If you heed that warning, you will be spending a lot of time explaining adult references.

The stand-out performances were from Seth Rogen and Kristin Wiig as a hot-dog and bun. Kristin is so true to herself and her comedy helped the movie shine.

The animation is mediocre. It's definitely not bad. It reminds me of Toy Story 1 in its simplicity.

If the movie has faults, it has profanity for the sake of profanity and it is about 10 minutes too long. The movie became tedious toward the end and I was a little too eager to see it finished.

If you're looking for a movie that challenges social norms and will certainly offend anyone Politically Correct, this is your movie. However, it's not quite the clever movie it could have been. If you had the likes of Mel Brooks on the writing credits, he would have provided the secret sauce to take the film from funny/profane to comic gold/social commentary.

Five-Word Review: Dumb, Funny, Sometimes Cleverly Subversive

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have carved their own niche of American comedy films close to the Apatow brand but more crass. The roster that includes Superbad, Pineapple Express, and This is the End now adds Sausage Party, a decidedly adult-oriented comedy designed to offend and shock, insulting just about every race and belief imaginable. Little would you expect it could also make you think at times. A starry cast supports this animated riff on Pixar stories such as Toy Story, with the likes of Rogen, Edward Norton, Michael Cera and Kristen Wiig lending their voices to the story of sentient foodstuffs discovering that their 'gods' are actually humans who kill and eat them.

Sausage Party often feels like two films in one. On the superficial level it is a dumb, crass, raunchy sex comedy with talking, orgy- loving food characters to appeal to the same stoner crowd as Pineapple Express. On another level, it is an intelligent and well- observed social commentary with witty takes on current social issues related to religion, race, sexuality, and world conflict. This is the film's strength and flaw. The worst of the film is when it is being too dumb and juvenile, with punchlines extending to nothing more than a blurted profanity, a lazy racial slur, or a sex joke that would make a 13 year old laugh. Too much of the film is like this, and a probable sequel would be much improved by focusing up and being less immature.

Nevertheless, there's a lot that's funny in Sausage Party. Some of the parodies are on the nose - including excellent riffs on Saving Private Ryan, The Terminator, and, in one grotesque scene, Ratatouille. The situations the foods find themselves in are often very clever - a bagel and a lavash personify (foodify?) the Israel- Palestine conflict, and the main hot dog bun wants a bigger role in life than to just be filled by a sausage. Meanwhile, the voice cast is superb. Nick Kroll (Parks and Recreation's Douche, in a similar role) expertly plays a rapey gymbro character. Norton is unrecognisable as the Jewish 'Sammy Bagel Jr.', while Rogen, Cera, and Wiig are all stellar.

Overall it's a funny film that is worth a watch, and is a nice counterpart to similarly plotted animated films aimed at kids, such as Toy Story. It just feels like it could have been better at times; hopefully the sequel can combine this film's strengths with some improvements. 67/100

What was I expecting?

I don't know, but not that level of "vocabulary" After the initial slack jawed moment, I decided to get a beer, sit back and just let it run. I'm glad I did, it was pretty funny.

Definitely definitely not for kids ( which I wrongly assumed all animation was) , so woohoo, yet another good thing about not having kids.
