Sausage Party

If it were a funny politically incorrect animated movie, I would definitely appreciate it. But Seth Rogen should not have been smoking weed so much the whole time writing the script. Some scenes are funny, but I would probably have to be stoned as well to start laughing in most cases. Disgusting stuff alternates with perversion. It is not funny and there is only one real breaking point in the end of the movie, but even that could be appreciated only by someone as perverted as Marquis de Sade. And only if that pervert was a sausage in a US convenience store so he can understand the main characters in this film – sausages in the US convenience store. (07/06/2017)

Death and mutilation. Food at the mercy of the Gods in the fight against the faith that for so many years determined their mission… Who would have said that movies by Seth Rogen and Simon Pegg would grace the summer blockbuster season (no really, this summer was all about Star Trek and Sausage Party), but thank God for that. Probably just these two can deliver originality and quality. They managed to create another classic. An unscrupulous cartoon full of cussing and sexual innuendo, about the importance of faith and community, friendship and modern relationships. An unbelievable storm of ideas (not always exploited to the full) almost with potential for a series, there are too many shelves. The perfect characters personifying various opinions on faith and a great explanation of the concept of religion become slightly lost in the attempt to please today’s audience, but there is a message. Excellent jokes, impressive subtitling. I look forward to seconds. (26/08/2016)

This is definitely food porn loaded with profanity and scenes that cross the line for some. On the other hand, it's an adult cartoon, so it's clear they're not going to be freeing Willy. On the one hand, I appreciate that the film makes a statement about such "weepy" issues as religion, otherness, ethnicity, and so on, but keeps it at the level of fun; of course, nothing deeper comes of it. In the end, basically all those stereotypes are used to entertain or dramatize the scene. Of course, some of the (pop) culture references were right on, ditto the visit from the candy-coated Stephen Hawking. The songs chosen were great and you could see the filmmakers were having fun with it. On the other hand, just bad language and now and then good and playful ideas are not enough to make you 100% interested in a film. Besides, the animation didn't impress me much either. I don't think watching it will hurt, if you don't mind that it's not exactly a story with a moral lesson and that the climax is a real climax. A better 3 stars. After all, even the day after watching it I was thinking about the film, mainly because I had no idea how to rate it. (25/08/2016)

I had a dream about fat stars, who, stoned on a couch, who came up with the idea of film in which they want to insert a talking wiener into a chubby bun. Then I woke up, I was at the cinema watching Sausage Party, and it looked more like a first-rate nightmare. Points for penetrating the sterile moralistic vacuum of animators, zero for any real subversiveness and meatiness. A soy substitute for things by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. A Lavash bagel having sex is not enough for me to squirt light mayonnaise, you sausages. (31/08/2016)

I'm not under the illusion that this script was created any differently than with the main group meeting over a pile of food sometime around Independence Day, with the meeting interspersed with consuming various substances and a Toy Story marathon, and the job got done. In terms of parodies, it turned out quite funny as expected, but in terms of half-hearted socio-cultural comments and reminders, it was sweatily and clumsily done. Yet what destroys me the most is the constant need to swear, to randomly insert sexual innuendos into every scene, and to finish the last ten minutes with an extra coarse spectacle, maybe just for fun, to see if any of the viewers can handle it. Moreover, Seth Rogen keeps dwelling on the thousandth variation of how a character is under the influence of drugs, and that doesn't seem as funny to me as it is perplexing that his approach to these jokes has stopped evolving and instead has started to regress.
