What's the Story?

Food has finally conquered humanity (aka "humies") after a valiant war. In SAUSAGE PARTY: FOODTOPIA they celebrate with a no-holds-barred orgy, but when a rainstorm threatens many lives and their leader, Gum, is sacrificed, ringleaders Frank (a hot dog played by Seth Rogen), Barry (Michael Cera, a smaller hot dog), and Brenda (Kristen Wiig, a bun) are left to fend for themselves. Was their revolution to find Foodtopia worth the sacrifice? How will they survive the new dangers of the world outside the grocery store?

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (2 ):
Kids say (2 ):

This supremely silly series has a few laughs, but humans can't live on food puns alone. Like the raucous movie before it, Sausage Party: Foodtopia just isn't quite funny enough to warrant more of this wacky world. Foods swear and have sex; we get it. But it's clear that Rogen and his crew are having fun here, and fans of the film may enjoy seeing these friends once again.
