Food, Drinks, and other forms of consumption live in harmony at a grocery store called "Shopwell's". Each and every morning when the store opens for business, all delicacies burst out in a song about the "Gods" also-known-as Humans. The plethora of delicacies are so determined, confident, and rambunctious as they anticipate to be taken off their respective shelves and come home with us to "The Great Beyond". Little did the very enthused decadents know that they are in for an extremely rude awakening.
This was certainly a massive decline from other raunchy, sexualized, and racist animated "R" rated feature films, such as 1999's "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut". "Sausage Party" fails big time at being consistent with its craft. As for the overall attempt to address major issues like: same-sex marriage, immigration, politics, and race & ethnic background is simply crude and jaw-dropping. It's mockery of all these issues is just unbelievably dry and not the least bit amusing.
While the film also tries to mock real-world issues, the film also pokes fun at and mocks disability. A very stupid and not relevant character "Gum", is being portrayed as if it is science enthusiast "Stephen Hawking". The movie portrays the character as an invalid and weakling. The team on the film tried to make this secondary character funny as-can-be, however, it's just another piss-poor attempt to accurately and genuinely portray and interpret disability in Hollywood in the cinema and on television.
As if it weren't already sexually provocative, offensive and widely racist enough, the flow of the film is utterly choppy. Meanwhile, the film is occupied with a very low quality screenplay and stupid characters. As it appeals to older audiences and not to ever be witnessed by youngsters. While "Sausage Party" suffers tremendously, there are some light spots of goodness audiences will appreciate. It has moments of well delivered action sequences and some good jokes. But this will not suffice for it's a very poor excuse for an adult feature film. Therefore, it is one of this years worst films.
