Better than expected

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2017)

The case for Sausage Party is a strange one. Although it got mostly good reviews, it seemed like many audience members really disliked it. All of the criticisms of it made me lower my expectations greatly. Perhaps that's why I found it to be a sort of fun, sort of entertaining, decent film. I think the jokes to go too far. The writers are interested in being progressive by a lot of the dialogue, yet by the same token make fun of a large group of people by using the same types of stereotypes. It comes off kind of conflicting. The narrative itself is the best thing about it, even though there are a lot of questionable jokes and scenes played simply for laughs. Not sure if to recommend it to everyone, but I do think there's a good film hidden underneath it all.
