What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sausage Party is definitely offensive, but backs up its enthusiastic profanity with an impressively high laugh-to-gag ratio -- and a surprisingly thought-provoking storyline.

K. Austin Collins The Ringer The surprising thing about Sausage Party is that its desire to swerve from the norm with dirty humor is evened out by an equally strong impulse to bolster those norms. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Kristen Yoonsoo Kim Complex From sly, not-so-sly innuendo to unfiltered climaxes, there's not a moment in this movie that isn't packed with jokes. And the thing is, it works. Feb 24, 2017 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times It's funny, non-stop inventive and heroically heretical. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2016 Full Review Rolando Gallego EscribiendoCine ... One of the most corrosive films of recent times. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... the junk foodie fantasy that stirs American Pie, Toy Story, Logan's Run, and every torture porn horror of the last decade into a raunchy paean to hedonism with more food puns than a Catskills grocer.

G I'm still quoting the movie. Please let there be a sequel! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/21 Full Review D Jay Cee M Review of "Sausage Party": A Culinary Catastrophe "Sausage Party" is a film that proudly boasts its status as an animated adult comedy, but it delivers little more than a relentless barrage of crude humor and gratuitous gross-out moments that leave viewers questioning not just the film’s creativity, but the very tastefulness of its existence. At its core, the film’s script resembles a disjointed food fight, where characters flail about, spouting shock value lines instead of constructing a cohesive narrative. The plot, ostensibly revolving around the existential crisis of grocery items that yearn to escape the confines of the supermarket and discover the truth about the outside world, quickly devolves into a series of nauseating gags and tasteless antics that serve no purpose beyond shock and disgust. What could have been a clever commentary on consumerism or the human condition is lost in a sea of tiresome one-liners and relentless expletives. The screenwriters appear more focused on pushing the limits of vulgarity than on writing dialogue or a storyline that resonates. Scenes designed to elicit laughter often fall flat, tinged more with discomfort than amusement. As characters fling themselves into absurd scenarios, it feels less like a comedic exploration and more like a desperate ploy for attention through sheer nastiness. With such a unique premise, one would hope for insightful satire or clever wit, but instead, we are met with a repetitive cycle of gross-out humor that feels like a stale fast-food platter served with a side of shame. Each twist and turn feels forced, as if the writers, perhaps contending with the limitations of their own creativity, resorted to a gratuitous reliance on shock value to mask a fundamentally hollow story. The animation, while visually vibrant, cannot rescue the film from the mire of its own poor storytelling choices. What unfolds is a lackluster experience where even the most vibrant characters—often based on food, a smart choice for visual appeal—fail to develop in any meaningful way. Instead, they are mere puppets to a script that meanders aimlessly while assaulting viewers with debased imagery. In conclusion, "Sausage Party" is a tedious exercise in excess that revels in its own filth to the point of absurdity. It’s an unfortunate reminder that grasping for shock factor often comes at the expense of genuine humor and narrative cohesion. Rather than a whimsical exploration of food’s place in our lives, we’re served a rancid platter of cliches and distaste that ultimately leaves a bad taste long after the credits roll. Save yourself the trouble and skip this film—your palate and your sanity will thank you. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Shilo I I Watched lots of clips and it’s the one movie that is unhinged and brutal. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Jackson G They actually made an animated movie for adults that still feels like Pixar. And they did it right. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Audience Member One time I watched this movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Oscar W Illegitimate film? Nah, a well directed comedic animation that had not only me, but also my friends laughing at its crude humour and dynamic scripture for an hour and a half.
