Uproarious Vulgarity and the Search for Higher Purpose

Rating: 10/10 (1 August 2019)

"Brilliant" is a word too loosely used, but the sidesplitting and deceptively cerebral "Sausage Party" is exactly that, as intense raunchiness is leveraged to skewer self-assured beliefism in what is one of film's greatest yet most derided satires.
Every character in "Sausage Party" is a food item at a grocery store. And each wants to be purchased, sharing a belief that a higher purpose awaits beyond their limited shelf lives. What a brilliant metaphor for our own need to perceive something greater in store beyond what our life expectancies offer.
Bringing together the disparate concepts of outrageously sexualized humor with the search for higher purpose is what plants "Sausage Party" firmly on the short list of film's most aspirational satires. - (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." Cheers!) - WATCHED IT? THEN WATCHLIST: "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)," "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)," "Stadium Anthems (2018)."
