So, this morning me, my friend, and my brother decided to go to the movies and check out Seth Rogen's latest comedy endeavor Sausage Party, and overall it's better than it had any right being. Not only being a spoof taking the p!ss outta Pixar movies, but surprisingly a send up on theology and organized religion in similar fashion to stuff like South Park.
Seth Rogen plays a talking hot dog named Frank who is a part of a grochery store full of foods who all believe humans are gods and will take them to food heaven. But when he discovers the truth that they are all just taken to their death, he tries to save the rest of his pals by warning them, and telling them the truth.
Pretty much, in South Park fashion, if you're gonna offend people, you might as well offend everyone, but honestly, there's no need to really get offended here. Sausage Party comprises it cast of characters of racial and ethnic caricatures you'd come to expect, but doesn't ultimately make them just that. From a jewish bagel, an Arab flatbread, a lesbian taco, and a Native America Shaman Firewater bottle, these are all characters. Characters that are bringing in all the adult stuff, basically specifically targeted on concepts of race, gender, etc. that actively relates to the humanity of the characters. All that stuff Pixar actively avoids.
It knows what its doing. It's smarter than most people might think.
And all the meanwhile, the story overall is probably one of the smartest takes on atheism and agnoticism in quite sometime. While the food definitely struggle with their own temptations of mostly wanting to have sex (because it's an adult comedy) they won't because doing so would make them impure and unfavorable in the eyes of the gods. (I see you metaphor) Frank's journey is not just proposing this radical new idea of new beliefs, but ultimately proposes instead of worrying about all this stuff like sin, just live in the moment and enjoy life.
All this stuff is what takes Sausage Party above just the shock humor, and in to a intelligent, thought provoking conversation on all this stuff we have in life.
I'll say it again, just like you'd expect in an episode of South Park.
It all leads up to an absolutely HILARIOUS climax that's about as ridiculous, crazy, and wild as you'd expect and yet still something you have to absolutely see for yourself. I won't spoil it, but here's a hint:
So yea, Sausage Party is smarter than you might expect. It does more with than concept than it has too, and successfully spoofs Pixar films to the T. While I wasn't gut busting laughing throuhout, it was still worth seeing.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
