These shocks are built from a school of low-hanging fruit form of comedy that thrives within overwrought conventions. You laugh because of a weird knee-jerk reaction of your brain trying to apply logic to the shocks being thrown at you. In a lot of their projects, as much as their comedy can cause laughs, they’re often not earned. Because of this, Franco plays in this infuriating space where I never know what to do with him except be incredibly itchy about his existence.īy extension, I’m wary of the birds of his feather (Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and the rest). But then he often seems to find the most enjoyment in films that anyone with an ounce of non-white-dudeness would never be able to get funding for. He’s by no means your average mediocre white guy. I loathe his seemingly unlimited access to….everything, regardless of the success of whatever he does. Secondly, you should know that I loathe James Franco with the power of a thousand suns. Maybe Hollywood is still reeling from the abject failure of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within. Just ask the folks behind damn near any anime, or even most recently, Anomalisa. If anything about anything has taught us, well, anything, it’s that all visual media can be “adult,” you just have to fucking adapt it to the chosen platform. Mostly because the American film market is often still stuck in the early post-Code Hollywood days of limiting “adult” content to live-action. I’d like to back up here and say first that I was lowkey excited to see this film. The resulting sojourn involves plenty of hijinks, shock humor, and some really, really weird scenes of food having sex.Īnd that’s just the reader’s digest version.
Where Frank diverges to learn the truth behind “The Great Beyond,” Brenda chooses to try to stay. Their romance is cut short, however, when a mishap involving a douche and a can of honey mustard throws them “outside the package,” where they must fend for themselves or be thrown away. Main characters include Frank (Seth Rogen) and Brenda (Kristen Wiig), a hot dog and bun, who are just aching to get it in. Namely: they love living in the supermarket, worship the gods (see: humans), and believe that only good things happen once they’re taken to “The Great Beyond” (see: beyond the store’s doors.) Every morning they perform an uproarious musical selection that details their beliefs. The film follows a sentient assortment of food and home products living in a generic supermarket.
That’s how I ended up watching Sausage Party.
It helped us refocus: how was the movie, exactly? For her, it just “wasn’t good…at all.” I just felt violated, mostly.
WHO PLAYS THE DOUCHE IN SAUSAGE FEST MOVIE
We met up around 7pm, and luckily the theater was fairly empty.įast forward 20 minutes of trailers and 90 minutes of movie later, and we left the theater, leaving it full of shocked laughs, ‘wows’ and ‘what the fucks.’ A chilly breeze rushed through AMC as we walked out, its brisk embrace snapping us out of the strange reverie. So, the conglomerate of consumerism and teenage hangouts known as Bay Street had to suffice. This wasn’t my first choice, but none of our favorite artsy fartsy theaters played so late into a weeknight. It’s Thursday and I end switching my schedule around to catch up with my film homie to go to the AMC theaters in Emeryville.
