Sausage Party - an R-Rated animated movie from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg

Animators get treated way too unfairly as it is, and have for decades. I hope Nitrogen is aware that their secret is outed, and has a response to this!

Saw it today, i liked it, though it does have flaws.

I was surprised i ended up liking Douche as a villain.

@Weirdguy.

It did have a sequel hook.

Man...and I thought this film was just gonna be bad story-wise, not ethically.

The story wasn't all that bad honestly.

Well this most likely isn't going to be released in india (Shocker). SO I guess I'll give my opinion if and when it makes it to home entertainment.

I've heard that yeah, but I'm still not seeing it under protest. I mean, I was on the fence for seeing it to begin it, now I have jumped OFF the fence onto the lawn of morality.

I went to see it tonight.

A fun movie, not as funny as it seemed, but honestly, I really liked it.

and to be honest, people protesting this movie and saying how offensive it is miss the point of the movie altogether.

The movie itself is a Take That! against such thinking. Hell, the movie even calls out the idea of making fun of each other's differences in the climax of the movie.

The orgy scene was easily one of the funniest parts of any comedy movie I've ever seen, simply for the Audacity of it.

I watched a Team Four Star video where one of them talked about it and he thought that the Who's on First? Running Gag was the only funny gag. I admit it did get a chuckle out of me when he described it, though

Well, this certainly is an... interesting movie.

I didn't leave myself much space for praise in my review I just posted, but I do think this movie has quite a number of positives to offer once you look past the excessive crassness of it. The story is surprisingly well-handled despite them going nuts with the low-brow jokes, the animation is pretty stunning, I really liked the characters, and I just can't get over how much I love the sheer WTF-ness of a douche as an actually intimidating villain.

It's not for everyone and it can be childish at times, but I enjoyed it.

I actually felt bad for the douche. Unlike everyone else, he knew what he was destined for in the "great beyond" and was looking forward to it. No wonder he was pissed for having his dream snatched away for him in the last second.

I'm ok with seeing it with all this controversy because the film failing means that the animators are unlikely to eventually get credit if the film isn't a success and not seeing it also means that the work they slaved over and are demanding credit for won't be appreciated.

Well, I just finished watching it and feel kinda bad now. I admittedly was one of the main shit-talkers on it based off how over-the-top crude and awful the trailers looked, but that was actually...not bad.

Maybe I just have a bad sense of humor, because the running gag with the foods reacting to the douche saying things like "spill the beans", "how you like them apples?" got me every time.

While some jokes fell flat, the delivery on others was perfect.

I thought I'd had the whole movie spoiled to me by skimming the script and reading various discussions online but somehow entirely missed the ending of them realizing they were cartoons. That was great.

3.5/5 or 7/10.

TBH, I didn't care much for the 'We're all cartoons!' ending. I didn't find it particularly funny or interesting and it just didn't add anything. The orgy itself had already kind of dragged out the ending a bit, but then again the film HAD been building to Frank filling her buns so that was at least built up. The cartoon thing just felt tacked on and meta for no real purpose.

Wasn't it supposed to be just a post-credits scene though? You know, just random something that isn't supposed to have any real impact on the plot and is simply meant to be funny? (Not that I personally found it funny, either...)

I'm not gonna lie, there were several points during the film where I straight-up forgot the Douche was a character in the movie. He feels pretty superfluous to the plot. Even his role in the climax comes off as an afterthought.

Funny, I thought he was more so in the leaked script, where it took quite a while for me to realize he was supposed to be the full-on antagonist and not just yet another hero of another story.

I forgot he was too, but I'd argue that he justifies himself in being a Foil to the heroes (he KNOWS what the Gods do and is totally ready for it and hates the heroes when they prevent and don't want what he sees as a good thing) and generally being a very comical character who stole the scenes he appeared in with some solid voice acting and good humor. Yeah, he's kind of superfluous to the plot, but his other qualities make him relevant to either the comedy, tone, or moral of the commentary.

,Really? I actually thought that, since the humans seemed to de undefeatable, the main characters where going to take the easy option go hidding somewhere humans couldn't find them, but, since that alone would be boring, there was a need for someone to go chasing after them.

But yeah, in the end he actully was superfluous. Still, you can't deny that his alliance with the dark lord was... something.

Hey, you guys remember those horror stories about how the animators were forced to work overtime without pay?

I feel like I might be late to the party, but there's one thing I've always wondered about from watching the movie:

Am I the only one who wishes that Douche died a more satisfying death than going down with Darren? I mean, after all the liquids he killed and how low he stooped in general, he should have gotten a super Karmic Death.

You know how his arms inflated like water balloons the more he drank out of liquids? I kinda wish that at some point he got flung out of Darren from the kart accelerating from propane, and into the room where Frank found the cookbook, which was preceded by knives and other sharp tools, and then lands so hard into a shelf that his (now shit-covered) nozzle breaks again, (probably also leaking out more than before), and before he can get up, said shelf falls on one of his water-balloon sized arms, crushing it and causing him to leak out profusely from there, causing him to be in so much pain that his thrashing from trying to get his arm out causes a knife to fall off another shelf behind him that he's partially resting on, popping his other arm, thus more pain, and then he starts thrashing from even more pain, which causes a meat cleaver to fall off, and dice him in half to finish him off for good. Maybe as an added bonus we see the bit he took out from Frank after all of his juices splash out from being diced in half.

Not only this is probably a good way of parodying a Disney Villain Death in a film that already is a Take That! to Disney and Pixar films, but it would also be quite ironically karmic considering his first victim, the juice box, who was also leaking out painfully before dying a brutal death by being raped.

Sorry if that was a lot. I pretty much explained in great detail to give you guys an idea.

Meanwhile, in France...

Fundamentalist catholic associations had asked for the movie to be reclassified from "forbidden under 12 yo" to "forbidden under 16 yo", arguing that it was a porn movie disguised as a family film. The tribunal just told them to shove it. It reminds me of this.

Normally fundamentalism is something we can brush off, but asking the film to be rated R doesn't seem that egregious a request. Their description on the other hand.

Then again, France and the US are polar opposites in how sex and violence offend them.

I didn't translate the link, but the judges went into severe Deadpan Snarker mode while explaining why the rating won't be changed - ie detailing why a sausage penetrating a bun isn't actual sex.

Ok that sounds pretty funny.

Still, I have heard far more outlandish requests.

We have a first look at the sequel series for Prime:
