Like being trapped in the mind of a pervy twelve-year-old

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2017)

Okay, first off, I'm not a prude, and honestly a few politically incorrect jokes here and there doesn't cause any harm. The problem with Sausage Party is that it's trying to be edgy and innovative by being so excessively low-brow and offensive that it just becomes annoying. Watching it was like reading the comments section of a YouTube video. The "humour" in this film consists mainly of sex jokes, a rape joke that really crossed the line, swearing non-stop, non-stop jokes about the correlation between sausages and pen!ses, and this more or less sums up the whole film. It's nothing we haven't all seen before, but it tries to pass itself off as some groundbreaking animated comedy masterpiece when in reality, it's just repeating the same stuff we've all seen time and time again. If you've watched Family Guy, you've seen Sausage Party. If you've watched Eating Raoul, you've seen Sausage Party. If you've ever read the diary of a nerdy junior high school boy, you've seen Sausage Party. I will concede that it had one or two genuinely hilarious moments, but these were so few and far between that it simply wasn't worth the time. I'm not the biggest fan of low-brow humour, but if they had at least been more creative with it I would have rated this piece of garbage much higher. There were also some bizarre atheist undertones that I'd rather have not had shoved at me. I didn't go to a comedy film to get a lecture on religion or lack thereof. At least animated films like Fritz the Cat were creative and witty when it came to satire, instead of just blatantly rubbing it in viewers' faces. I am completely shocked that Sausage Party has a current 7/10 overall rating on here. I find that fact itself to be more laughable than the film.
