Time OutJoshua RothkopfAug 12, 2016
As with 1999’s deceptively deep South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut and, more recently, The Lego Movie, the script works hard to invest its scenario with an existential and political dimension, crudely but effectively expressed. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichAug 10, 2016
Unlike so many comedies, Sausage Party only gets funnier as it goes along — there are dozens of duffed jokes along the way...but the script mines its demented premise for its full potential, and the plot crescendos to an ending so good that you’re likely to forgive many of the dull moments that came before it.

Sausage Party glints of greatness, but this is half-cocked comedy at best. Read full review

The movie’s prime mover, Rogen, is a doge of stoner humor, and he shows incredible discipline in this film by saving the first weed joke for twenty minutes in. I commend him for that. Read full review

There’s a goofy spree of a movie buried deep within Sausage Party, but it’s missing both the spree and the goofs. This comedy needed to be a lot smarter if it wanted to succeed at being this stupid. Read full review

Its half-baked political ideas take away from the wholly satisfying and surreal Pixar riff it could have been. Read full review

The TelegraphRupert HawksleySep 1, 2016
The problem with Sausage Party is that, for all the silliness, it so desperately wants to be taken seriously. What should have been a shamelessly filthy stoner movie has been watered down with ill-judged, undergraduate musings on religion, philosophy and race. Read full review

It’s raunchy, rowdy and almost completely insane. Unfortunately, it’s just not very funny. Read full review
