Here’s a movie
definitely not for children. There’s no taking your kids along to see this
because you’ll spend the whole time with your hands over their ears, and by the
ending, a blindfold will be needed to shield them from the obscenity.
I feel Sausage Party was full of too much bad language, too many
sexual references, and the orgy had enough sex for the year. The writers went
down the path of perversion and decided to stay there. I give them an A for
imagination—what they did with the food we eat is something I’d expect from
high school students.
It’s not
that Sausage Party didn’t have its funny, laughable moments because
it did, but the level of perversion was too high. I wasn’t comfortable.
Sausage Party is
the first R-rated CGI animation and the highest-grossing R-rated animation
(grossing over $135 million), beating South Park: Bigger, Longer &
Uncut (1999). The writers (Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and Evan Goldberg) did
more of a spoof of the animations we loved from popular studios, and they
stayed on the high of being overly silly, stupid, and outright ridiculous.
I give the
writers props for being able to keep the movie on a non-dark and
non-mean-spirited path, leaving perversion and numerous curse words as the only
things you have to watch out for.
The CGI animation in this movie isn’t on the level of studios like Disney or
DreamWorks. The makers just wanted to pass an idea across, and they did so.
What they did do well was the voice casting. I was shocked to find out that one
character was voiced by Edward Norton.
With all that
being said, Sausage Party is one movie you’ll want to see regardless
of what people say about it. The movie plot centers around a sausage and his
bun girlfriend as they decide to engage in a monogamous relationship.
The different
foods and groceries on the shelf in a shopping mall long to be taken off the
shelf by the gods (humans) and taken to the world beyond the doors, where they
expect to be cared for and pampered all the days of their lives.
The sausage and
bun couple hoped to be taken together to the great beyond so they could engage
in sexual acts and be together. One fateful day, a jar of mustard was returned
to the store, and he went crazy, telling everyone that the great beyond is a
hoax and that he never wants to go back. Tagged as crazy, everyone ignores
him—until a human picks up a sausage and the bun pack containing the couple,
and the crazy mustard jar is picked along with them.
He commits suicide, causing turmoil in the shopping cart as almost all the food gets tossed out. Now, the sausage is out of his pack, and so is the bun, and they have to find a way back.
