Is Sausage Party the best comedy I've seen this year? No (Though its close). Is it the best animation I've seen this year? No. However, Sausage Party may the most perplexing movie Ive seen this year though, it's not as funny as I thought it would be but it makes up for it with a bulk of commentary on organized religion and the nature of theocracy. Sausage Party is essentially a metaphor for our own world populated with various ethnicities believing multiple interpretations of the same thing. You see, in the grocery store Shopwells, all the food their believes that when a person buys them they are chosen to be taken to the great beyond where eternal happiness awaits them. The correlation continues when food sees that different foods are treated differently considering when they expire or if their damaged, resulting in each type of food forming their own exclamation as to why this is and how to maintain their "purity" in order to gain favor of their gods. Now, I'm no philosopher but I really didn't expect this level of depth in a movie that is animated and featuring food just to get away with torture porn and sexual innuendos all in the name of comedy. The humor dries in Sausage Party dries up pretty fast(at least until the last 15 minutes) considering they tend to recycle the same jokes for shock value, but this is much more then just a superficial R-rated comedy that happens to be animated. Believe it or not if you like a little allegory with your cinema, then a perfect helping debuted this weekend.
