Image result for sausage party

SAUSAGE PARTY

Directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon
Screenplay Kyle Hunter; Ariel Shaffir and a bunch of other people.
Voices: Michael Cera; James Franco; Salma Hayek; Seth Rogan; and Kristen Wiig




Okay.............spoiler free as always.

This film is very funny.

There is not really much to say. You see it all from the trailer.

Sex
Religion
The "Border"
Middle East
Women's Hygiene products
Male Genitalia
Nothing is really off the table and that is okay. That is what makes that first half work. An animated film that throws out foul language more times than any film, I mean any film, this year. The timing of the foul language and coming from an animated character makes it hilarious.

So it is funny.
It also has really fine animation.
The film has well done voice work also (Is that really Ed Norton?).

BUT.................................................

I hate to mention it because you really do not go to see this film for the story line. Yet the story just sits there during the second half, with not many laughs and to be honest...it was boring (With a strange sex scene that was not as funny as what you expected it to be). In other words the second half just did not hold up.

Well, for it's animation, it's voice work, and for it just being different......3 1/2 stars out of 5 for Sausage party. A party that ran out of ideas half way through.

From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
