Review:
Sausage Party is every bit as raunchy and politically
incorrect coming from the minds of Seth
Rogen, Johan Hill, and Evan Goldberg. If
not for the sheer amount of F bombs and sex jokes this would fit right in with
any Pixar movie. The basis of the plot
is very similar to some of the Toy Story films taken to the extreme with a
focus on sex while skewering organized religion and various other topics along
the way. It’s pretty easy to get lost in
all the raunchy fun but the script does a great job of satirizing a lot of big
themes. Even with it’s headier themes
mixed into the plot the film accomplices it’s primary goal of being laugh out
loud funny for the better part of it’s runtime.
The trek through the grocery store is a cornucopia of set pieces which
are incredibly impressive and fun all leading up to a final scene that will
either make you laugh uncontrollably or shake your head in disbelief.
