Directed by: Greg Tiernan & Conrad Vernon
Written by: Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, & Jonah Hill (story)
Starring: Seth Rogen & Kristen Wiig
When Frank (Rogen) discovers the truth that food is murdered once it goes to the Great Beyond (a.k.a. out of the supermarket), he sets out to alert everyone to save themselves and destroy the monsters (a.k.a. humans).
Well this film is definitely not for kids.
When I first saw the trailer, I thought that the main character, Frank, the sausage, would have been taken to a human's home and that's how he discovered the truth. But nope, he stays in the supermarket. So in that case the trailer is a little misleading, but the story is better with him being in the market rather than out of it.
Interestingly enough the writers made all the food equal to their ethnicities, such as soy sauce being Asian. So of course as in the real world, there will be some racist jokes and hatred among the different food. But I liked the message at the end where Frank says that they all need to become united against the monsters. It kind of relates to modern society where we all need to stand together against any problem. Race cannot get in the way.
Also I liked how there was a variety of relationships. It wasn't just your standard sausage and bun, which, again, also represents our society today. Our world is reflected in a rated-R animation.
Most of the funny parts were due to the outrageous scenes that the film had. Like you couldn't believe this was a movie about animated food. It was still funny, but you shouldn't watch it with your kids and probably not your parents either.
