Some movies make you laugh.  Some movies move you to tears.  Some movies dazzle you with fast paced action and brilliant special effects.

And sometimes you come across that movie that makes you walk out of the cinema with your brain slowly dribbling out of your ear saying “What the bloody hell did I just watch?!?”

If you like that kind of movie, then you will love Sausage Party.

This movie is not for everyone.  In fact I will say it is probably not for most people.  Old people?  Nope.  Sensitive people?  Nope.  Normal people?  Nope.  Underage people?  Oh dear god no – you’ll traumatize them for life!

This movie is really designed around the concept of “The kind of messed-up jokes you make to your mates when no one else is around”.  You know, all the really wrong stuff that would make someone avoid you for life or get you arrested but you could say to a close mate so you could both laugh at how wrong simply saying such a thing is in the first place.  This movie is full of racist stereotypes (jars of sauerkraut going to ‘kill the juice’, falafel that thinks it is going to get 72 virgin olive oils etc), foul language (the c-bomb gets dropped 5 minutes in), drug use (everything from a twinkie getting stonned to a guy shooting up bath crystals on his couch) and just really, really wrong stuff (a used condom talking with fresh semen dripping from its mouth, corn kernels on a human shit moaning like ghosts).  The protagonist is a hot dog that has come to question the after-store myths that everyone is lead to believe and the nemesis of the movie is a douche that sticks itself up a clerks arse then uses the clerks scrotum to steer his actions.  That’s about it for plot.  This is definitely a movie where the writing staff, baked out of their brains no doubt, decided when pitching ideas “Oh yeah, that is soooo f*cked up!  Let’s put it in!”

That’s not to say it is a bad movie.  I enjoyed it well enough and it appealed to the part of me that used to watch the likes of South Park religiously.  I can’t say I ever actually laughed out loud, more had lots of ‘Holy shit!’ moments when something even more disturbing than what happened before came along.  And the end scene with every bit of food, no matter its gender or use-by-date, just f*cking the living shit out of every other bit of food was so madly messed up I just sat there with my hands over my mouth going ‘Oh Jesus Christ!’.

I really don’t know whether to recommend this movie or not. But if you want to challenge your own moral code to see just what you can withstand, then it’s a way to kill a couple of hours.
