Review of Sausage Party (2016) by Skeptic303 — 03 Oct 2016

Before I begin, it is of great importance to say that just because something is animated does not mean that it is for kids. My case in point: Sausage Party, a raunchy, but hilarious R-rated animated film with great voice talent.

The animation here, though still kind-of subpar, is nothing to scoff at. In fact, it purposely helps this comedy work so well. As far as I know, this is one of Hollywood's best attempts at comedy this year. Furthermore, it's view on fate and God is refreshing to witness. Unfortunately, this movie is weighed down by substance faults.

While it succeeds in the entertainment department, the characters aren't that great. They start developing late in the narrative, and even then, their development is dropped to make way for a series of events that Hollywood knows how to put together just fine, but they neglect character in the process. It is also worth reminding that I am not a big fan of raunchy comedy, as like found footage, it serves as gimmick. too much of it leaves the film hollow. Like I said before, it is funny and sometimes hilarious and jaw-dropping, but this film was too raunchy to support character development.

Certainly check it out if you can take the experience, but don't expect me to watch it again. I will grant it a seal of mediocrity.
