-
Not as full a meal as the original film, but almost as funny — and much filthier. If nothing else, it will put you off your food.
-
If comedy like this makes you cringe pleasantly, it’s worth digging into Foodtopia. If not, excuse yourself. Sausage Party’s sequel isn’t bland, but it leaves much to be desired in its wake.
-
“Sausage Party: Foodtopia” feels like a show kind of caught between a feature sequel and its potential as a TV series. Now that Frank, Brend, and Barry have returned and brought along a few new friends, it’s certainly possible that future series could find a better balance in the writing. And there’s just enough wit and sharp humor here to make that an enticing potential meal.
-
The series wobbles along the fine line between stupid and clever, falling — not by accident — to one side and then the other. You can’t call it tossed off — there is a lot of work that goes into making a cartoon — though much of the writing has the air of having been born in a smoky room in a fit of giggling.
-
While it’s not strictly boring and the low-budget animation seems to capture the same spirit as the film, nothing in Foodtopia is worth getting hungry over. It’s one of those shows that’s just there. It’s not too bad, nor is it anything good either.
-
Over eight episodes, this formula quickly wears thin. But to many, it’ll be worth the distraction. Dick jokes are an easy laugh — or a cheap one, depending on the eye of the beholder. And a show named for a dick joke has both in spades.
-
Hard-core fans of the Rogen/Goldberg house style (or aficionados of animated grotesquerie) will probably have a good time with Foodtopia, but more than a decade after the pair spun off from the Judd Apatow universe into their own endeavors, it’s worth asking whether they’ve started placing undue emphasis on branded raunch.
