The problem with Sausage Party isn’t its reliance on immaturity, that’s what makes it horribly unfunny. The problem is with its message.

1) Seth Rogen the Hot Dog is like “HEY the thing we all believed and are living our lives around is actually killing us. I have proof, you have to stop believing everything just like that. -Mason snaps fingers-

2) Hot Dog retracts his statement and instead says we should live a life of love and not worry so much about what each of us believes. We need to just live free lives.

So right here you see the dichotomy of two very specific versions of atheism or most belief systems. 1 represents the more commonly held view of what it is: aggressive and fundamentalist. 2 represents the movie’s alternative, and ultimately it’s message. We should all act as a race and do what’s best for the race and beliefs really shouldn’t factor in to those basic elements.

So the movie has a remarkably responsible message right?

Oh except for how, at the end of the film, all the food embraces a life free of religion and decides to lose all morality. They just fuck each other. Everybody, gay, straight, polygamy, it’s all there. It turns into a giant orgy.

So imagine that you’re seeing this movie and it’s handling atheism remarkably responsible and you say “hey, I can get behind this,” then the orgy happens and it turns everyone away. WELL WHAT THE FUCK

Atheism already has this stigma of being amoral, WHY WOULD YOU ACTIVELY PORTRAY IT AS AMORAL? Why give people a view on what the world actually thinks it is when you’re making a movie that goes against all those things? It’s accidentally irresponsible because the filmmakers couldn’t find enough restraint within themselves not to have every character fuck in the movie.

That being said the rest of the movie is truly fucking abhorrent as well in it’s portrayal of “characters,” and how all of them just want to get fucked. That’s it. That’s all they talk about. Male characters, female characters. They all just wanna get fucked. Genius.

I don’t recommend it. I think actually hurts any sort of nuanced opinions one may have about Atheism. But as far as a comedy goes, I sat there mostly sad during the movie. I was looking forward to seeing it and it ended up just being miserable.
