Sausage Party

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
