Sausage Party

This is just a total nightmare. A bunch of completely unintelligent jokes with an even bigger pile of bad words crammed into a sleazy and disgusting movie. Not to mention the pathetic scene at the end. Lessons learned for next time? When Seth Rogen writes the screenplay for something, it can never be all that good. (14/09/2016)

Whatever you may think of Seth Rogen, I appreciate the fact that he can surround himself with like-minded people and from time to time release something into the world that studios don't usually have the balls to do. Like a film about the assassination of Kim Jong Un or Sausage Party. On the face of it, it's exactly what you'd expect, a cheap but still decent-looking animated film full of dirty and vulgar jokes, some of which might not even pass muster with the writers of South Park – the final five minutes are a great test of the audience's taste. At the same time, it's all surprisingly smart, working with themes that are perhaps too ambitious for such a film at first glance, and together it works perfectly. Sausage Party is ninety minutes long, and they don’t waste time, so the pacing is lethal, the cadence of the jokes more than satisfying, and you'll find enough ideas that you'll never think of this animated madness as mere self-indulgent vulgarity. Yeah, it's vulgar, but it's also intelligent, surprising and, above all, terribly funny. (15/05/2017)

Sometimes they try too hard, but Sausage Party is so impossibly dirty, but at the same time an impossibly imaginative, original and entertaining film, which is completely different to everything I've seen. It's not at all as primitive a spectacle as it might seem at first glance, and after a few minutes. (27/01/2018)

One of the best ideas of recent years. Seth Rogen, James Franco and Jonah Hill serve another portion of their traditional perverted and vulgar humour, which is impossible not to love. I loved how they captured the issues here and in our time, from religion, racism to bullying. The final gang bang is the highlight of the whole film. I was considering a 5*, but there were a couple of deaf spots that brought down the pace, but still a solid 80%. (26/10/2016)

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)
