Food Fights

Rating: 7/10 (11 August 2016)

No one will ever confuse Sausage Party with Casablanca, Citizen Kane, or Gone with the Wind, but nevertheless, it is a lot of (very mature) fun. I still prefer Superbad and the Interview to Sausage Party, but this new release is an improvement of other Seth Rogen works such as Pineapple Express and the Neighbors.
One thing Sausage Party that I enjoyed is how it handles the idea of faith and religion. There are surprisingly profound tidbits intermingled between all the hot dog and bun jokes. As for the jokes, not all of them are original and some of the ones that are become a bit overused and forced. At the same time, I think some of the point of the good jokes is to poke fun at bad stereotypical jokes.
Overall, Sausage Party succeeds due to its sheer absurdity and the outrageous originality of its initial idea and deserves 3 out of 4 hot dogs.
