After a jar of honey mustard (Danny McBride) is returned and passionately insists the stories about being chosen by benevolent gods into the "Great Beyond" are nothing more than lies, Frank sets off on a quest to learn the truth, and the filmmakers are just as blunt about the matter as everything else. And amazingly, those final moments are probably not as offensive and shocking as Frank's existential journey of self-realization.
The unexpected visuals are hilarious though, the cherry on top the pie of juvenile excess. In fact, the final quarter will - as it is likely meant to - leave audiences completely appalled by the depravity while wondering how 'Sausage Party' ever passed the censors with only an R-rating. Their back and forth rivalry is peppered with various gags of current events leading to a larger stunt that'll leave any viewer in utter shock. But most of the bitter squabbling over who has rights to certain aisles comes from Sammy Bagel (Edward Norton doing his Woody Allen impersonation) and a Middle Eastern lavash (David Krumholtz). A Third Reich-like regime of sauerkraut packages call for the extermination of juice, a bottle of liquor named Firewater (Bill Hader) tells of a time when he and his kind had the store all to themselves before being cast aside from their land, and Craig Robinson is a box of grits with repressed anger for crackers. Beneath all the vulgarity and debauchery, which apparently are only a means for breaking into more poignant social taboos, we discover products bickering about other items displayed more prominently in better aisles and of being displaced from their shelves to make room for products that don't mix. However, what it lacks in subtlety, it more than makes up for with a surprisingly intelligent plot, suggesting the filmmakers toiling with some deeply philosophical inquiries about life on Earth. There is little room for delicate hearts in this crude and often boorishly blunt flick. Salma Hayek voices a taco shell named Teresa with suppressed urges she feels an unforgiving society would look down upon, and Nick Kroll, speaking in a New Jersey shore accent, is a broken douche product on a revenge murdering spree.

The rest of the movie is simply a laundry list of explicit, unambiguous double entendres and on the nose puns, but that's precisely the joke - various ways in which the filmmakers can cleverly make crass and racy references using any number of store items.
And yes, they talk just as brazenly about consummating their relationship while waiting to be chosen by the gods for the "Great Beyond," completely unaware of the figurative meaning of their literal words. After a comical song and dance number by the food products at Shopwell's supermarket worshipping the shoppers as gods, we're introduced to Frank (Rogen), a sausage who dreams of slipping all five inches of himself between the buns of his girlfriend Brenda (Kristen Wiig). Unless you're Drax from ' Guardians of the Galaxy' where sarcasm and insinuations go over your head, then there isn't a reason for misjudging the title's meaning as just one of thousand other lewd jokes throughout.īut even if some oblivious viewer with more modest sensibilities so happens to accidentally stumble upon this hysterical assault to civil propriety, it's only a matter of minutes before realizing 'Sausage Party' is the furthest thing from civilized or family friendly. But even if promotional material or this being another Rogen-Goldberg collaboration - with Jonah Hill now joining the team - were not enough in announcing the movie is for adults only, then the film's title should give some inkling to the sort of raunchiness on display for the next 90 minutes. The red band trailers, on other hand, fully disclosed the story of life in a grocery store was never meant for young viewers. The green band previews notoriously played on audience's expectations, seeming like standard family fare akin to Disney/Pixar or a DreamWorks Animation production.

From the same vulgar and juvenile imagination that also gave us ' This Is the End,' ' The Interview' and ' Superbad' comes another series of crude obscenities and lewd behavior in 'Sausage Party.' A good number of moviegoers not aware of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's sense of intentionally immature humor are sure to be offended, likely taken aback by it being an animated film.
