SAUSAGE PARTY

Sometimes Seth Rogen and the gang get things right. Who didn't love 'Pineapple Express'? That was a quality stoner movie - literally. But when all we see is them getting stoned over and over again, does the joke dry out?

Frank is a hotdog sausage who dreams of being taken to the "great beyond" - the world outside his supermarket home. In the great beyond, the Gods (or we humans) would treat them with utmost care and he could finally be united with his hotdog bun girlfriend Brenda. After a hideous freak accident that leaves many of the shelf items mutilated, they begin to learn the truth about the Gods and their malicious ways. From there, they must rise up against them.

So if it sounds like this was written by some guys who were super baked when they had the idea. "Dude, what if our food was like little people?" From there, the humour doesn't get much better, and ends up feeling like more things you'd (potentially) find funny if you were stoned. The only problem is I get the feeling the vast majority of people probably won't be when they watch it - but it would probably help. Yes, the cast is impressive, but it's just a bunch of friends with too much money who have the ability to bring these sort of things to life.
