The surprising thing about Sausage Party is that its desire to swerve from the norm with dirty humor is evened out by an equally strong impulse to bolster those norms.

From sly, not-so-sly innuendo to unfiltered climaxes, there's not a moment in this movie that isn't packed with jokes. And the thing is, it works.

It's funny, non-stop inventive and heroically heretical.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2016

A movie so bizarre, so profane and so quietly virtuous that it works.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2016

It may not be suitable for kids, but that's not to say that this strenuously profane cartoon is not unapologetically juvenile in its approach to comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 4, 2016

Seth Rogen is a genius. Lucky, really, that I never liked hot dogs anyway.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 2, 2016

The film... very quickly passes its sell by date.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2016

What should have been a shamelessly filthy stoner movie has been watered down with ill-judged, undergraduate musings on religion, philosophy and race.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2016

About 20 per cent less anarchy. 30 per cent more jokes, and 40 per cent more story would have made for better viewing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2016

It sounded like the dumbest movie of all time, but it's actually smart, subversive and packed with famous voices saying wonderfully unspeakable things. In fact, it's a banger.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2016

Re-watch value is extremely low with this one.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2016

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 18, 2016

One of the more clever conceits is how it plays with the central conundrum of Pixar: How do you connect all these animals or toys or robots-beings that, to humans, have no emotions or thoughts or even faces-to the human world that they walk around in?

| Original Score: B | Aug 13, 2016

Some of the gags are more cringy than others -- like Craig Robinson's cracka-hating box of grits -- but don't call it empty calories.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2016

Rogen and his frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg dreamed up the story with actor Jonah Hill, and though it might sound like a critique of religion, they opt instead for a lowbrow, sporadically funny celebration of hedonism.

| Aug 12, 2016

This smack in the face of good manners is surprising and strange, often delightfully so.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 12, 2016

You can see the obvious social-political jokes being made, but it's so juvenile.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 12, 2016

It is, without a doubt, the most delirious movie to come out of a major studio in decades, perhaps ever.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 12, 2016

"Sausage Party" is smarter than it looks at the same time as it is overly taken with its juvenile humor.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 12, 2016

You might find yourself alone one night imagining your dinner screaming with every bite you take, and then wonder: Is that half-eaten slice of pizza plotting cheesy vengeance upon me... or am I the half-eaten slice of pizza?
