Storyline
The products at Shopwell's Grocery Store are made to believe a code that
helps them live happy lives until it's time for them to leave the
comfort of the supermarket and head for the great beyond. However, after
a botched trip to the great beyond leaves one sausage named Frank and
his companion Bun stranded, Frank goes to great lengths (pun intended)
to return to his package and make another trip to the great beyond. But
as Frank's journey takes him from one end of the supermarket to the
other, Frank's quest to discover the truth about his existence as a
sausage turns incredibly dark. Can he expose the truth to the rest of
the supermarket and get his fellow products to rebel against their human
masters? Written by

Animated Seth Rogen comedy is as funny and irreverent as you'd expect
Seth Rogen and Evan
Goldberg have reunited once again in this incredibly raunchy R- rated
comedy following their success with 'This Is The End' and 'Neighbors',
except what's different this time is this comedy is an CGI animated
feature revolving around talking food products rather than human
characters (though there are a few). For a movie starring and written by
Seth Rogen, you would expect to see a straight forward raunchy comedy
with no-holds-bar vulgarity and abundance of four letter words. This
comedy however, manages to squeeze in a surprisingly thought-provoking
allegory to religion along with the predictably irreverent humor,
similar to what we saw in 'This Is The End' which followed a cast of
characters trying to survive the apocalypse. Featuring the voices of
Seth Rogen, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride,
David Krumholtz, Salma Hayek, James Franco, Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, and
several others to name; this movie follows a wide of cast of food
products at a local supermarket who live their lives awaiting to be
taken away by the "gods" (shopping customers) into a world known as the
"great beyond", a place of comfort and endless happiness. When they
discover the ugly truth of what really goes on in the so-called
paradise, Frank the Sausage (voiced by Seth Rogen) must rally up his
friends to help save from the unspeakable terror that awaits them.
A comedy about foul-mouth talking food? Yeah, kinda sounds like a dumb idea, right? Well, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg behind the writing process, this movie unexpectedly manages to be much smarter than what you may anticipate while at the same time, being hysterically funny in blatantly absurd ways. Advertised with inventive marketing, this highly anticipated comedy delivers much more than just a string of raunchy R-rated humor and a no-brainer of a plot. Rogen and Goldberg accomplish this by formulating the plot that serves as a metaphor to Christianity, with the food being purchased by shoppers and taken into the "great beyond" which serves as a clear analogy to heaven. One line in particular is "the gods work in mysterious ways". This also includes some comedic dialogue and humor that falls metaphorical to references of the bible including a silly musical number in which the film opens up with. Yes, the humor has no reservation of being politically incorrect or downright offensive, especially with all the seemingly non-stop profanity. At the same time, Rogen and Goldberg know how to make it funny and subversive. Sure, some of the jokes do fall on the mean-spirited side, or under the not-so-rare circumstances push the envelope, particularly the massive food orgy scene. Though it is meant to be funny, it's necessarily clever or even charming in the slightest. On the other hand, the film as a whole knows how to be funny in a way that works, even without the constant vulgar gags thrown around here and there.
Sausage Party is a funny and irreverent animated comedy that shows Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg still have their A-game, even if their over-the-top humor isn't everyone's cup of tea. This movie is astoundingly hilarious and is worth seeing. However, although this is an animated feature, parents are strongly discouraged of bringing their children to this one. So if you are a parent, please hire a babysitter and leave the kids at home. This is not a film you'll want to expose to their young eyes.
