I saw Sausage Party last week and while I wouldn't call it a good movie, it was definitely funny in alot of places. It suffers from a few problems like being really uneven. It is crazy loud and relentless, but some of the funniest bits they slow down to enjoy which just makes the pace seem more driving when it gets back to the regular fast pace. It also suffers from stoner humor, meaning things that are genuinely very funny are beaten to death like a stoner explaining why he thinks his own joke is so funny.
It thinks it is smarter than it actually is, and it also thinks it is more controversial than it really should be. All that aside, I definitely laughed at alot of it, but I was also bored by much of it.
I am very interested in animation moving into an R rated market because it is such an open medium with very little creative limitation, and I hope this does well if for no reason other than continued funding for future efforts. TV is clearly illustrating the market is there. I just hope someone other than Seth Rogen writes them.
