Sausage Party - Movie Review

Sausage Party is the next Seth Rogan and friends team up film that is now a popular trend of comedy's coming out yearly. Frank the Sausage and other foods within the shopping store
all believe that once they are picked up and bought they go to this 'great beyond' where humans all look after them. Humans are gods and the great beyond is they're the idea of heaven, then learn later that it's all a horrible lie that was made up. This film is sort of a horror film mixed with a comedy, but surprisingly works well. Once the food finds out the truth, the foods whole belief system crumbles. So Frank goes out of his way to warn the other food at the supermarket about the horrible truth he has found out.

Overall this film isn't the laugh out riot that the trailers are making it out to be. It is a different view on our world from the point of view of food. This film explores the notions of religion, belief, gods, war and poverty. Most of the food in the film are represented by different ethnicities.

The concept behind the film is what I personally enjoyed about it the most. Poking fun at children animated movies while exploring this 'secret life' that we have humans can't see. This film takes concepts of a Disney movie, puts it through a blender and then creates an adult comedy that is both dark and funny at the same time. The amount of swearing and cursing within this film made it very bland after a while as they pretty much swear in every scene which got to the point where it wasn't funny.

The film wasn't as entertaining as I originally thought it was going to be, as most of the jokes are haha funny but not laugh out loud funny. Except from the ending, which was one of the most funniest and weirdest scenes in the film. Some of the jokes in the film are either funny or they just fall flat. For example, the bun played by Kristen Wiig would always make the joke of getting Seth Rogen's sausage 'in there' or just coming out singing for no reason which didn't really work.

Overall this film is entertaining enough and you can watch it as an R animated comedy with an interesting concept alone.
