Finding out the truth about one’s existence isn’t just a journey important for humans. Frank the sausage from Shopwell’s supermarket has heard some extremely disturbing news about what happens after he and his fellow food product friends are chosen. Selected and taken out of Shopwell’s and into ‘the great beyond,’ where the mad food horror/comedy/adventure that is Sausage Party, the latest from writing partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg truly begns.

Starring Rogen, Michael Cera, Kristen Wiig, Nick Kroll, Jonah Hill, and many more, I found Sausage Party entertaining and definitely filthy. It’s the clever and well-written wordplay that makes the experience for me.

The film’s general look and animation style is another personal highlight. I particularly love the walks of Teresa Del Taco and Frank’s girlfriend, Brenda. Yes, we’re talking about animation here, but the sexiness is truly undeniable. Then there’s the villainous Douche who is very well played by Nick Kroll (probably my favourite of his roles, ever).

There’s no writing about Sausage Party without mentioning the, let’s say… ‘good times’ that happen towards the very end. WOW! That’s a great word for it.

After the thought, ‘How on earth are they going to end this?’ crossed my mind a few times as the movie played, I’m not mad at what actually happens at the very end – because how else could they have wrapped it up, really? Especially since food is ultimately for eating,  potatoes need peeling and, we can mostly if not all agree that no one should ever take ill treatment.

In terms of the things I was at odds with, Sausage Party features some commentary on religion that feels a little odd and out of place, even though it kind of makes some sense, as we’re dealing with a world where our food both talks and thinks. 

 Watch this movie for the smartly written, filthy, fun dialogue and the general madness of it all.

Happy Film Loving,
