Sausage Party: The Title is a Dead Giveaway

I saw this movie a week ago and have been processing exactly how I wanted to go about blogging it.  My typical method is to portray who I think will like each movie I review.  Yes, I'll throw in my opinion, but still try to find the good in each.  That isn't to say I couldn't find good in this movie or think of who would enjoy it, I just was amazed at how far the context was taken and how ignorant I was to not realize the adult humor would be that "adult."

If you saw the previews, you know that the premise is basically the world of grocery store food and its perspective of life, specifically what happens when it leaves the store.  That is the innocent side of the movie that I thought I was seeing.  Yes, I ignored the title and thought maybe that was a joke or that there may be a few minor innuendos.  I was quite mistaken.

This is a tale about a hotdog, hotdog bun, and their friends on a mission to find the great beyond....which is really life outside.  They have visions of how magical it will be.  Food and humans living together in bliss.  So of course they find it traumatizing when they find out what really happens.  The horror they discover when they see their friends being ripped into pieces and eaten by these monsters called humans is pretty drama.  I have to be honest, ever since seeing this, I feel a little guilty when taking a bite.  It is up to them to let the others know what happens, which prove harder than they realized.

The actors behind the voices are some greats such as Kristen Wiig (one of my personal favs), Seth Rogan (who also directs it), and many more which only add to the many hilarious scenes.  On a deeper level, you can see fun being poked at many real-world issues such as various races not getting along, how many have a tendency to believe what makes them feel better versus the ugly truth, and those extreme personalities we all know and love....or not.

Overall the movie had hilarious scenes and the basic story plot was entertaining, but there is so much more.  This movie is not for the faint of heart.  You must really enjoy adult humor and please, please leave the kids at home.  I don't even think your just under 18 year old children should be seeing this. There are many sexual innuendos throughout the whole movie and each scene becomes more and more extreme.  I don't want you going into this thinking you'll see some mildly humorous adult jokes because then you'll be like me who was sitting with my mouth open in shock most of the movie.  It wasn't that I hated it, it was just more than I anticipated.  I have a more naive or innocent humor though so if you can handle it, then by all means see it, but just remember you have been warned.  If you are curious, just Google the last scene of the movie and I am sure you will get an idea of what I am referring to.
