More than just cartoon characters swearing

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2016)

This movie was advertised as the first R-rated CGI movie. It wasn't done quite as blatantly as something like "Fritz The Cat", the first X-rated cartoon period. I was hoping they might toss in some reference to that, but they didn't. It's probably just as well, as this film is enjoyable in its own right. It did set a new world record for most swearing in an animated movie beating out "South Park: Bigger, Longer, And Uncut". I seriously wonder if Trey Parker and Matt Stone want Jonah Hill to die. A few people who worked on the film were actually mad they weren't in the credits. No wonder there was so much swearing.
The biggest appeal for this was that it was an anticipated movie not based on anything or a sequel or remake. The door IS in fact left open for a sequel, albeit in the strangest way possible. What you appreciate about this film is that the animation really IS very well done. I couldn't help but be reminded of one of my favorite shows "The Amazing World Of Gumball", another cartoon version of talking objects. It seems like every cartoon nowadays has talking inanimate objects and/or lesbians. Yep, this has both! I knew they'd do the obvious joke of the taco being one.
What's good about the movie is that a lot of creative ideas are really put out well. We see the different kinds of food and personalities and how they interact with the world. This is a movie that does all it can with its creativity. Now, I will admit that I don't like the ending that much. It features the food fighting and killing the humans. The thing is, the humans were just trying to eat food. I mean, that's what ALL living organisms must do in order to survive. Are humans just supposed to starve to death in this movie's universe? It seems like they could have resolved it better, with some compromise. Still, this is a movie worth your time. ***
