Honestly, I just figured it was a funny, attention-grabbing title. The trailers and even the posters had plenty of innuendo, but I didn’t think they’d go all-in on an orgy scene like that.
The Incredibles was for adults, as was WALL-E and others.
In fact the first five minutes of UP! was one of the most moving love stories I have ever seen.
You dont have to have blood or sex or "FUCK! to have the film be for adults.
No, of course not. I agree with you. But the corollary to that is that it’s possible to have films with blood or sex or “fuck!” in them, and adults get to make the choice whether they want to watch them.
Like I said, I’m normally not a fan of stupid “bro”-style humor, but I laughed several times during Sausage Party. I thought it was subversive in the same way Dogma and The Book of Mormon were (though *SP *didn’t pull it off nearly as well as either of those two).
Saw it today. I’d give it a mixed rating.
Positives:
The premise was interesting and it was developed.
There was decent characterization.
Visuals were great.
There were some funny jokes.
Edward Norton does an amazing Woody Allen impersonation. Who knew?
Negatives:
The ending was tacked on.
A lot of the jokes didn’t work. Many of them were, as Hail Ants put it, vulgarities just for the sake of vulgarity. Or jokes that are only funny is you’re stoned.
The production company really ripped off its employees.
Saw it yesterday. One of the better movies of 2016.
For all the gross out and sex humor, the movie absolutely skewers religion. That’s the actual message in it, and they don’t hold back. Religion is essentially presented as not only a stack of lies, but a stack of lies that actively harms people.
Tacos
All religions, or just Christianity?
All of them. The concept of religious faith was sent up.
[SPOILER]The products in a grocery store believe the shoppers are “gods,” who select them to go to “The Great Beyond,” outside the store, if they are worshipful and avoid sin, especially the sins of touching one another or having sex. If anything goes wrong they assume the wrath of the Gods is responsible. A gay/bisexual character is particularly concerned the Gods don’t approve of her feelings.
As it turns out, the entire belief system was invented by a few non-perishable items hiding in the back of the store that wanted to hide the awful truth from the groceries; they just get eaten after they’re picked (e.g. they are mortal, and there is no eternal life.) Since they invented it, though, the various groceries have all perverted and misinterpreted the song they invented to hate one another - the kosher food and halal foods are at odds, the German items want to exterminate the “juice,” you get the idea.
It is revealed by a returned item that there is no Great Beyond and they just get eaten. Nobody will at first believe this, even when a primary character presents documented evidence; the groceries tell him his proof is “just a theory.” [/SPOILER]
