“Did I really just spend $12 and waste an hour and a half of my life for that!?” This was going through my mind as I exited the theater.
“Sausage Party” may very well be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life, and that is competing with a movie on Lifetime with its basic plot line being a house that kills.
While I had zero expectations for the movie, I was actually forced to go and see it by a couple of friends. If I had a choice we would’ve seen something like “Bad Moms”; the movie was actually more horrible than I had anticipated.
As I left the theater I felt violated in ways that I never knew I could experience. I saw things that I wish I could unsee as I still have nightmares. You never know true horror until you see food having an orgy with one another.
Even though I have no intentions of spoiling the movie for you, I always hate when people do that to me even if it is the worst film to be put into theaters. Instead, I will be giving the basic premise of the movie.
The film takes place in your typical supermarket where all the food items believe that when they are taken home by shoppers they are taken to “the great beyond.” The main characters include a hot dog named Frank (Seth Rogen), Frank’s best friend Barry (Michael Cera),and Frank’s hot dog bun girlfriend Brenda (Kristin Wiig).
The story follows these characters as they learn what happens when they are taken beyond the supermarket doors and their quest to try and convince their fellow condiments and dairy products that there is no such thing as the “great beyond.”
All the while, Frank and company are being tracked down by a psychopathic douche (Nick Kroll). Yes, you read that right. There is an evil douche product causing havoc in the film because he believes that Frank and Brenda prevented him from being taken to “the great beyond.”
Throughout, there are cameos from a variety of other famous actors including Paul Rudd, James Franco and Edward Norton. Despite the fact that the movie has an abundance of well-known voices, the plot line becomes predictable while including the stereotypical ‘Seth Rogen movie bits. Normally I can handle anything that Seth Rogen throws at me, but this just went way too far.
But don’t let me be the only voice in this review. I encourage you to go and form your own opinion on the film, but you’d honestly be better off just shredding those $12.
