If you accidentally take kids to the Seth Rogen adult animated feature Sausage Party, don’t fret. There are around 100 uses of the word “fuck” in the first three minutes. So you’ll know what to do. But should you stick around? Well, if you’re a fan of excessive profanity, casual misogyny, an abundance of racism, and are okay with only a couple of good laughs in a 90-minute movie, then by all means hang around.
The plot—conceived by Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Jonah Hill—is a weak grasp at themes found in South Park, which was obviously Sausage Party’s primary inspiration. Here, anthropomorphized food products can’t wait to be picked up by grocery shoppers, believing that heaven awaits beyond the supermarket’s sliding glass doors. Though Frank (a sausage voiced by Rogen) tries to spread the truth, he’s pursued by a vengeful douche (Nick Kroll)—who, yes, is an actual douche.
