The script (credited to four writers, including Rogen and Evan Goldberg) has some thought-provoking things to say about faith and religion, and how beliefs can so often cause division. And it’s not just looking to get laughs from bawdy humor depicted by animated food items. But even if you knew going in that Sausage Party was an adult-themed animated film that would make jokes about sex and race, you likely have no idea just how far this movie is willing to go with its humor. These days, it feels rare for a comedy to not give away all its best gags during trailers.

(Is that overstating things a bit? I was a bit harsher on Star Trek Beyond and Jason Bourne than some critics and fans.) This movie will cause you to facepalm for very different reasons. Could an extremely disappointing summer movie season end up being rescued by an animated film featuring a hot dog (voiced by Seth Rogen) that very much wants to get inside a bun (voiced by Kristen Wiig)? With two weekends remaining in August, maybe there’s still time for that.Īt the very least, Sausage Party brings some very welcome laughs to the theater, some surprising joy to counteract all the face-palming letdowns that have filled movie theaters this summer.
