Sausage Party

At some point during the movie, I was watching the animated characters (here they are food items) trying to get into/escape from the animated pizza driver human schlub and his car and realized "This is exactly like Toy Story 2".  At that moment I noted the bumper sticker on the car  "DIXAR".




 That is a good summation of Sausage Party.  It doesn't stray too far from the tried and true animated story of cartoons v. humans but it does throw a few curves in.  If you don't like Seth Rogen/James Franco humor (Pineapple Express, This is the End, The Interview), then you'll call this "potty humor" and be offended by the "F word".

But if you're a real adult, you might enjoy a few parts of this.  Good voicing by the usual cast of comedy characters:  Kristin Wiig, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Michael Cera.   And a few easter eggs to discover along the way.  Nice and light.  Can't have enough R rated comedies these days.
