#162 - Sausage Party (2016)

"There is a line where crude exaggeration transcends into marvel, and this takes the cake for squeezing every drop of  potential lewdness from a script festering in pure, undiluted gross-out. 

The plot can be boiled down to a typical romance story where characters find themselves along the way and learn harsh truths about the world they live in before bettering themselves as a result - oh, but they're all food items! 

Literally, talking food. 

And humans are called Gods. 

And we see them viscerally tearing and murdering the anthropomorphic food groups with all the horror of a lynchian nightmare.

Whilst the gross out puns won't be to everyone taste, the not so subtle peppering of social commentary (via racial stereotyping and religious beliefs) I did not expect to see in a film which also shows a Lavash having sex with a bagel. 

Whilst this will be a sour experience for many, those that take comfort in the surreal and ridiculous should enjoy this"
