The products at Shopwell’s Grocery Store are made to believe a code that helps them live happy lives until it’s time for them to leave the comfort of the supermarket and head for the great beyond. However, after a botched trip to the great beyond leaves one sausage named Frank and his companion Bun stranded, Frank goes to great lengths (pun intended) to return to his package and make another trip to the great beyond. But as Frank’s journey takes him from one end of the supermarket to the other, Frank’s quest to discover the truth about his existence as a sausage turns incredibly dark. Can he expose the truth to the rest of the supermarket and get his fellow products to rebel against their human masters?
Wow.. OK, where to start..
Obviously, the creators of this movie were high as hell when they came up with this. But, beneath the pure ridiculousness of the film itself, there is an actual message. And that message is “Can’t we all just get along?”. The movie is just filled with racial and cultural stereotypes – including the conflict that comes with those cultures. And yes, there’s enough here to insult and offend everyone.
This one is definitely NOT for kids, as the final act winds down into a food orgy.. I’m not kidding.. a sexual food orgy. Do not let your kids watch this.
So, what did I think?
It was funny, I’ll give it that. But, I’d say a lot funnier if you were stoned.. I think, I’ve never been. There were a few eye-rollers in there, and a couple of groans.. but all and all, it was fun.
