If you’re a fan of Seth Rogen and co.’s trademark raunch and ridiculousness, then this eight-course-meal of a series will go down like a charm
Look, no one expects a series about sex-loving anthropomorphic food products who also happen to be great at puns to be that serious. The worst it can be is boring, and thankfully, Sausage Party: Foodtopia is anything but. Each scene is rammed with outrageously gross acts, so the shock factor never wanes, but beyond that, there’s also something to be said about how creative it gets with gastronomy, and how little care it gives to the puny humans. Bodies are defiled and deformed, forcing you to think about how we treat others too. Don’t get me wrong, the show is dumb, but its dumbness is the intentional kind, the kind that unwittingly or not peddles poignant commentary about how we live.
After the foods win their war against the humans at the end of the film, they create Cibopolis, a city of their own ruled entirely by foods. But soon, problems arise, including rain, crows, and internal discord among the foods. To find answers, Frank, Brenda, and Barry set out to find a human.
Just when it looks like food has overcome humans as the reigning species, they’re beset by an unforeseen problem: the natural world. Ironically, they’re one shot against pouring rains and hungry birds is a human who can guide them through the new world.
I’m telling you now, try as you might, you won’t be able unsee those positions.
Endless puns and all-out grossness, what more would you want?
