Far Better Than It Should Be

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2016)

Frank is a sausage who has always wanted to be purchased and "go home," but he does not yet know the truth. What he does not know is that his kind is used as a snack and he strives to find the truth of his existence in this cruel food-eating world.
From the trailer, I figured this was going to be 90 minutes of profanity. And for the most part, that is accurate. The cursing is excessive, far beyond what should ever be in a movie. (I'm not opposed to profanity, but at a certain point it goes beyond the way any real person would talk.) What saves this film from just being curse words and mediocre animation is its social commentary. Maybe it does not say anything original, but it says the unoriginal in an original way. And, more importantly, it explains that beating your point of view over someone's head -- even if you're right -- is never the wise move.
Great movie? Hardly. But there is something of a silver lining to this ridiculously juvenile film.
