Storyline

The products at Shopwell's Grocery Store are made to believe a code that helps them live happy lives until it's time for them to leave the comfort of the supermarket and head for the great beyond. However, after a botched trip to the great beyond leaves one sausage named Frank and his companion Bun stranded, Frank goes to great lengths (pun intended) to return to his package and make another trip to the great beyond. But as Frank's journey takes him from one end of the supermarket to the other, Frank's quest to discover the truth about his existence as a sausage turns incredibly dark. Can he expose the truth to the rest of the supermarket and get his fellow products to rebel against their human masters? Written by halo1k

In the supermarket of 'Shopwelles' the food is alive and they all believe that once they are taken by customers, they pass the great doors of the supermarket and they are brought in a paradise for food were humans are their gods. By a left turn of events Frank (Seth Rogen) discovers the truth about food's existence and once he does he takes it onto his own to spread the word to everyone and rebel against the gods.

As I have now said probably an unhealthy amount of time, I am the biggest fan of this comedy group there is. I've seen almost every comedy Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow and Bill Hader have done and have loved the majority of them, finding great joy and inspiration in their comedy which has never left behind character. With "Sausage Party" these people have just added a crowning jewel to their body of work and have made a completely insane film that still manages to stick together and make for a compelling ride.

The premise is absolutely fuc*ed up as described by Rogen himself, it is totally crazy, but these guys don't simply stop at that, they build around it a world, characters and dynamics that are even more bat-sh*t crazy. This movie is simply not holding back and that is why as an audience member you do not feel cheated by it. Every gag is rewarding in its own way and whilst some of them might fall a little flat, there are so many thrown at you, you don't even realize the ones that aren't hitting.

Be it raunchy, grotesque, outrageous, slapstick, stereotype, sexual, druggie, abusive, dark, satirical, parodist, musical or light-hearted humor, this film hits all of them and it hits them right multiple times, which is ultimately why it is such a success of comedy. Can you think of another film that hits every single one of those notes? I certainly can't and it is definitely a great merit this feature has. All of the comedic brilliance these incredible individuals have managed to muster in all their years is brought to the screen gloriously and it is a joy to experience.

What is also something that managed to really surprise me and ultimately keep me pleasantly engaged is to see how this story unfolds. I did not know what to expect and what I got was incredibly intelligent from a filmmaking point of view. There is an incredible variety of characters that you follow and they are all handed to an inter woven narrative that is solidly crafted, but even better is just as insane as the film's content, which really gives the whole product an even bigger comedic value.

Of course there are a couple of stumbles along the way: some of the secondary characters aren't really well developed and sometimes the filmmakers push for you to feel something that you aren't actually feeling, some of the chemistry between the characters doesn't really gel together. This also makes some story points fall flat and occasionally pull you out of the film for a couple of minutes.

But there's really not much of a point in trying to dissect any negatives of this picture. "Sausage Party" is an immensely dense comedy that is as irreverent and funny as I could have hoped for it to be.
