Sausage Party Film Review

Finished watching Sausage Party, directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan and staring Paul Rudd, Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig and Michael Cera. The film opens up inside a large supermarket as the manager Darren (Paul Rudd) is opening up for business. When someone buys and eventually returns a jar of Honey Mustard (Danny McBride) the jar begins to speak of what it's really like outside the shop. When he gets picked again by another shopper he tries to jump out of the trolley with a sausage Frank (Seth Rogen) and his girlfriend a hot dog bun Brenda (Kristen Wiig) getting lost in the shop when they leave their packs to try and save Honey Mustard after the trolley collided with another one. This leads Frank and Brenda to try and find their way back to their part of the shop. Overall this was a good film as it brings to life a very strong comedic story while also having a lot social commentary weaved in that helps to make the film relatable to everyday life for the most part. The side story of Barry's (Michael Cera) journey back to the shop is great as it quickly became almost a horror movie with the tone of the story and it doesn't feel out of place especially with how Barry's and Frank's stories intertwine. There are some great pop culture references in the film that create some great moments that feel very organic to the story. One thing that lets the film down is the penultimate scene were every thing in the shop is making love to each other feels immensely out of place as it was only the relationship between Frank and Brenda that was the only thing to foreshadow a scene close to what was shown. 7.5/10.
