The Funniest Film of the Year

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2016)

Sausage Party is fine work from the usually funny Seth Rogen as he and an extremely talented voice cast work their way through a hilarious script who bring laughs the entire length of the film, cleverly playing on the Pixar Formula that if something other than humans could have emotions or feelings (in this case: food). The jokes hardly ever fail and the writers provide very relevant social commentary which they deliver it in an amusing, fast paced script. Where the film falters however, is in the non-human antagonist who becomes old and worn out after a while. Also, there is an unfunny running gag between Kristen Wigg and her character involving nervous singing which lasts way too long. All in all though, Sausage Party is an exuberant watch with great characters and an ending that takes it way too far perfectly and hysterically (bare in mind, the final scene doesn't feel like it has to be there at all and probably would have worked better as an end credits scene).
