Sausage Party

This is definitely food porn loaded with profanity and scenes that cross the line for some. On the other hand, it's an adult cartoon, so it's clear they're not going to be freeing Willy. On the one hand, I appreciate that the film makes a statement about such "weepy" issues as religion, otherness, ethnicity, and so on, but keeps it at the level of fun; of course, nothing deeper comes of it. In the end, basically all those stereotypes are used to entertain or dramatize the scene. Of course, some of the (pop) culture references were right on, ditto the visit from the candy-coated Stephen Hawking. The songs chosen were great and you could see the filmmakers were having fun with it. On the other hand, just bad language and now and then good and playful ideas are not enough to make you 100% interested in a film. Besides, the animation didn't impress me much either. I don't think watching it will hurt, if you don't mind that it's not exactly a story with a moral lesson and that the climax is a real climax. A better 3 stars. After all, even the day after watching it I was thinking about the film, mainly because I had no idea how to rate it. (08/25/2016)

It's always nice to put on a film believing we've seen everything and nothing can surprise us, only for it to slap us right in the face and ravish all our expectations. Sausage Party may be "innovative" to the point of being tasteless at times, and I'd love to cut out the final ten minutes and wipe them off the face of the earth, but otherwise I had such a great time that almost all film parodies of the last ten years go out defeated with an anal plug up their ass. The episodic narrative based on the division of the main characters, with one part directly confronted with the terrible fate of food in human dwellings and the other trying to trace this fate by wandering around a store, offers plenty of room for situational humour and the exploration of the sophisticated world of department stores, as well as for the development of a simple but sufficiently motivated story, which, conducted on two lines, can never be boring. Of course, it's easy to wonder if Seth Rogen simply has such a vivid imagination or if he grew up in the real South Park, because all that fucking, farting, squeaking, clawing and writhing is not absolutely necessary to maintain the film's originality and attractiveness, and at times it's downright harmful, but the thumbs go definitely up for the overall working concept, especially the individual ideas about the world, the hierarchy or simply the visuals of the food, which never ceased to surprise, and the amazing original voice acting. Really, better than I dared to hope. (02/10/2017)

If it were a funny politically incorrect animated movie, I would definitely appreciate it. But Seth Rogen should not have been smoking weed so much the whole time writing the script. Some scenes are funny, but I would probably have to be stoned as well to start laughing in most cases. Disgusting stuff alternates with perversion. It is not funny and there is only one real breaking point in the end of the movie, but even that could be appreciated only by someone as perverted as Marquis de Sade. And only if that pervert was a sausage in a US convenience store so he can understand the main characters in this film – sausages in the US convenience store. (06/07/2017)

This is just a total nightmare. A bunch of completely unintelligent jokes with an even bigger pile of bad words crammed into a sleazy and disgusting movie. Not to mention the pathetic scene at the end. Lessons learned for next time? When Seth Rogen writes the screenplay for something, it can never be all that good. (09/14/2016)

Death and mutilation. Food at the mercy of the Gods in the fight against the faith that for so many years determined their mission… Who would have said that movies by Seth Rogen and Simon Pegg would grace the summer blockbuster season (no really, this summer was all about Star Trek and Sausage Party), but thank God for that. Probably just these two can deliver originality and quality. They managed to create another classic. An unscrupulous cartoon full of cussing and sexual innuendo, about the importance of faith and community, friendship and modern relationships. An unbelievable storm of ideas (not always exploited to the full) almost with potential for a series, there are too many shelves. The perfect characters personifying various opinions on faith and a great explanation of the concept of religion become slightly lost in the attempt to please today’s audience, but there is a message. Excellent jokes, impressive subtitling. I look forward to seconds. (08/26/2016)
