Movie Review: Sausage Party (2016)

Newest Review is LIVE!!! I wasted the best joke for this in a tweet.

Hello All,

    Not gonna lie, I really don’t have an opening for this. Comedy films are always really hard to talk about, because humour is a very subjective topic, and not everyone is going to think all the same things are funny (Especially if you spend too much time on Tumblr.) No matter what opinion I give on this, someone is going to tell me that either this was the funniest thing they’ve ever seen, or it’s 90 minutes of their lives that they’re never getting back. Yet here I am once again, handing out an opinion on it, because people ask me for it. So after thinking long and hard about it, was Sausage Party worth the wait? Let’s find out together shall we?

Plot Summary - In an everyday supermarket, the food there have dreams of being chosen to go to the great beyond. When the truth is revealed however, a lone sausage named Frank (Seth Rogen) must show them all the truth before it’s too late.

Pros - The voice cast is pretty solid, as they have a wide variety of talent on display. The animation also holds up well for what they’re trying to do with it. Towards the end the humour does pick up quite a bit as it just goes way the hell of the rails into absurdity.

Cons - This movie’s humour is 98% obvious food puns, there’s a scene of literal food porn that would make Team America’s puppets blush, the actual ending of the film is fucking stupid, the movie’s so poorly I wouldn’t be surprised if was generated by a computer program, and the whole thing is just flat out boring.

Final Score - 4/10

I personally cannot recommend this film at all. If anyone asks me if they should see it, I will say no. I know there will be those of you who will go see it and enjoy it, and to you I say good for you, hope you have a blast. To me, this was really stupid.

Next - Pete’s Dragon and/or Nine Lives. Might make it a double, or hell even a contrast comparison review based on what I’m hearing.
