Unfunny and Repetitve Jokes

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2017)

Since most animations are targeted to children, it's always exciting to see an animation that is targeted to adults. While some adult animations like Anomalisa use an R rating to create a very serious and adult movie that seeks to send a message to viewers, others such as Sausage Party use an R rating to fill a generic story with vulgar language and sexual innuendos. While some aspects of Sausage Party are interesting, the comedy is very repetitive and gets old very quickly. So let's begin by addressing some of the better parts of Sausage Party:
1.Animation: Since Sausage Party is made by a big studio, it is no surprise that the animation is pretty good. The various environments as well as the characters are very interesting and can be clever. However, there is one scene in the movie where it is clear that the animators reused another scene from the beginning in the movie, which seems really lazy.
2.Characters: While the characters themselves are pretty bland, it is interesting to see how the animators made characters out of food. Other than that, the characters are pretty generic and are a stereotype of certain races or cultures that are connected to the food item. Perhaps one of the best character in the movie would be Douche. The idea behind the character as well as the way Nick Kroll voices the character makes for perhaps the funniest scenes in the movie.
3.Story: One of the weakest part of Sausage Party would be the plot due to being very predictable and clichéd. The plot revolves around the main character trying to find the truth and struggle to spread the truth to his friends. Overall, there's not much to say about the weak plot to Sausage Party other than its very weak and predictable.
4.Jokes: Although Sausage Party is labeled as a comedy, the jokes aren't very funny. The jokes usually revolve around characters either cursing, making a joke involving sex, or a joke involving racism. As previously mentioned, the only funny bits come from Douche. After a while, the jokes become repetitive and stupid.
In the end, Sausage Party is a "comedy" that has interesting animation and one funny character. However, the rest of the movie is either generic or repetitive and doesn't evoke many laughs.
Final Verdict: 5/10
