very clever in a not so subtle way

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2016)

this is not for everyone. i'm just putting that out there. this movie is for the most part, a not so subtle social commentary on everything ranging from Sex, Sexual Orientation, Race, Religion, God...and much more. for the most part, I thought this movie was funny and well done. some people might find the vulgarity (which there is a lot of) off putting and that's understandable. what I found interesting about this movie is that it embarks on a quest to give us the very answers we seek in our daily lives. Frank (the main sausage protagonist) embarks on a quest to find the truth about the gods (us) and what lies beyond. when he discovers the horrifying truth, he attempts to inform his brethren of the reality of the world only to be mocked insulted and generally dismissed. it takes his friend Carl (another sausage who figured out the horrible truth), who makes him realize that its not about the message but how its delivered. if you insult peoples beliefs,how then, can you expect to get people to see the truth? the movie also utilizes a variety of racial and sexual stereotypes to prove its point and I found the utilization to be very effective in order to promote the message the movie was trying to promote. all in all I really enjoyed the movie, but I realize, that where the movie fails, was in going against what the movie was all about. discovering the truth and finding a respectful way to spread that truth. a lot of people will find this very disrespectful and very vulgar. in that since it failed, because the message will be lost within the whirlwind of foul language, sexual innuendo and racial stereotypes. then there is the ending...you will never see tacos, hotdog's, flatbread's and bagels the same way again. all in all I really enjoyed the movie and i'm glad it was a financial success, because I want to see the sequel.
