Sausage Party Synopsis & Review: Plot Summary

🎯 Quick Overview

😅 Plot Summary – Badly Explained

A bunch of talking food discovers they’re about to be eaten and, like, totally revolt against the ‘Gods’ (humans) in a supermarket, which probably sounded way funnier after a few bong rips.

🍿 Sausage Party: Detailed Plot Synopsis

The Great Beyond

The film is set in Shopwell’s Grocery Store, where all the food items are anthropomorphic and believe that humans are gods. They believe that when they’re purchased, they are taken to the “Great Beyond”, a paradise where they live happily ever after. Frank, a sausage, dreams of being with his girlfriend Brenda, a hot dog bun, in the Great Beyond.

The Truth Revealed

Their worldview is shattered when a returned jar of Honey Mustard warns them that the “Great Beyond” is a lie and humans are actually monsters who eat them. Frank refuses to believe it, but after a series of unfortunate events, he and Brenda are separated from their packages and begin a journey to discover the truth about their existence.

Discovering Reality

Frank and Brenda encounter other food items who have also begun to question the “Great Beyond”. They discover a cookbook that graphically depicts how humans prepare and eat food. This confirms the horrifying truth, and they must now decide what to do with this knowledge.

The Rebellion

Frank reveals the truth to the rest of the groceries, but many refuse to believe it. However, after an incident involving a drug addict and a severed head, the groceries realize the danger they are in and decide to fight back against the humans. The food items drug the shoppers and employees with bath salts, and a chaotic battle ensues.

💥 Sausage Party Reviews

Personal Review

Okay, Sausage Party is definitely not for everyone, and if you are easily offended, this isn’t your movie. But, man, I found myself laughing so hard that I almost cried. The over-the-top raunchiness combined with the surprisingly smart commentary on religion and society just worked for me. The scene with the bath salts was insane, and I’ll never look at a hot dog the same way again. The way they parody common Pixar themes in such an adult way really got to me.

• Who would enjoy:
  • “Fans of Seth Rogen comedies”
  • “Viewers who enjoy raunchy humor”

Professional Reviews

• Rotten Tomatoes: “Sausage Party delivers a gleefully vulgar and hilariously deranged take on Pixar tropes, but its humor may not be for everyone.
• IGN: “Sausage Party is a funny and irreverent animated comedy that shows Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg still have their A-game, even if their over-the-top humor isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
• Common Sense Media: “While the movie wants to act as satire, it rarely rises above easy sex jokes, gross-out gags, and stereotypes. This means that you’ll be subjected to a host of offensive jokes, with a few thought-provoking moments sprinkled here and there.

Awards

🛠️ Behind the Scenes

• “Seth Rogen described this film as a dark take on Disney films, saying, “People like to project their emotions onto the things around them: their toys, their cars, their pets . . . So we thought, ‘What would it be like if our food had feelings?’ We very quickly realized that it would be fucked up.””
• “Alan Menken, known for his work on Disney films like ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’, composed ‘The Great Beyond’ song for the opening of the movie, adding a satirical touch to the film’s Disney-esque elements.”
