Seth Rogen's 'Sausage Party' is vulgar and hilarious, but also about something deep
Sony
The two have a talent for offering more than laughs, however. Would you believe it if I told you religion, including the issues between Israel and Palestine, is a major theme in "Sausage Party?"
Ten years in the making, this animated comedy is filled with incredible talent and an enormous amounts of laughs, but the cleverness of the story stands out most.
We are in a world where food products are living things and inside a grocery story, the stock wakes every day hoping to be plucked by the "Gods" (humans) and taken outside to the great beyond where everything is magical. Or so they think.

This begins a journey through the aisles by Frank, Brenda, Lavash (David Krumholtz), and Sammy Bagel Jr. (Edward Norton) to find some answers.
The laughs keep up with absurd moments, including a sequence in which food being dropped from a shopping cart is made to look almost shot-for-shot like a scene from "Saving Private Ryan." Or the clever feud between Lavash flatbread and Sammy Bagel because the Middle Eastern food aisle is next to the kosher section.

Meanwhile, Barry makes it outside, where he sees firsthand his friends getting slaughtered when a woman cooks a stew.
But nothing will prepare you for the ending of this movie. Don't worry, I won't spoil it, but what I will say is if you are a Rogen/Goldberg fan, you're going to love it. (And figuring out which stars are voicing which characters is also part of the fun.)
"Sausage Party" will lure people in with the raunchy humor of the Judd Apatow clan, but they'll discover a respectful commentary on theology. And by that I mean directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon make sure to pick on almost every religion and ethnicity known to mankind.
And that's a good thing.
