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?

Goofs

The main characters are aware of the concept of eating, and that they themselves are food, yet act horrified when they discover that they are to be eaten. This is consistent with one of the main themes of the movie - the rejection of reason and evidence in favor of blind faith in merciful gods and the Great Beyond... until it's too late.

Quotes

[first lines]
Frank: [notices the shoppers entering the Shopwell's] Shit!
[turns to Carl]
Frank: Carl? Carl? Carl, Carl, Carl! Dude, we've slept in again! The song's about to start!
Carl: Shit, Frank! We can't miss the song!
[to Barry]
Carl: Barry, wake up!
Barry: What? I'm up, I'm up!
Frank: This song is such an awesome way to start every morning.
Carl: It's just a super nice way of showing the gods how much we appreciate everything they'll do for us, once they take us out those doors to the Great Beyond.

Crazy Credits

On the receipt during the end credits, Seth Rogen's name appears next to 4.20. A reference to cannabis.

Alternate Versions

On FX's TV broadcasts, all the swear words are censored just like a censored bleep. For example, Darren says "Bye-bye, sausages" instead of "F*** you, weenies" when he throws a package of sausages into a garbage can. However, in the Spanish dubbed version via SAP, nearly all the swear words (in Spanish) are retained.

User Reviews

Boring and not funny

I expected a funny movie, it turned out to be a boring sequence of unjustified F-words.

I think a 12 years old would enjoy this movie very much, but a 12 years old is not allowed to watch it.

I heard funnier sex jokes in 5th grade.

Since they want to stress out that is a movie for adults, they keep saying unnecessary profanities (I never heard an adult speaking like an 8-year-old boy that just discovered the F-word).

The result is a complete loss of humor (that was present in the trailers).

The plot is OK, I guess, it is just difficult to see it behind all that swearing.

I can't believe how bad it is.
