...it looks average. Dark concept that's pretty interesting to explore, but it feels like it's going to be mired in the standard 'Seth Rogan' comedy that I got sick of 8 movies ago, and like it's gunning for the cheap and easy jokes rather than anything with solid depth.
Could be disgustingly wrong on that account since this is just the trailer, but... yeah. Not something I'm gonna bust the door down to buy tickets for just because it's an 'adult cartoon'.
Watching this trailer, I could immediately imagine an outcry from some parent because they took their kid to see this movie (because it's a cartoon, so it MUST be for kids, right?) and now their kid refuses to eat any food at all.

Similar to parents who bring their kids to watch a 15/18 rated movie, complain about it to cinema staff members for not allowing them to watch it and hold everyone up and making others miss the first part of the movie, I will say this,
DO SOME DAMN RESEARCH AND ACTUALLY PARENT YOUR CHILD!! They are not your friends. There is an age rating for a reason so stop trying to cause unneed shit.
The title of the movie is called "Sausage Party". Sounds very adult to me in this day and age.
Annnnnnnywho, so many "not funny, meh meh" post. That's fine. I for one laughed, enjoy silly comedy and just need times where I don't take everything too damn seriously and just escape for a bit.
One person's comedy is another person's personal torture. Maybe some members here need to just lighten up a bit here. Enjoy things and laugh and smile a bit.
I hope the final movie doesn't use bad words as frequently as the trailer. The concept and animation looks solid and interesting, but nothing will kill it faster than an unnecessary avalanche of "fuck"s.
Really, the only people who think that excessive swearing has anything to do with maturity are 10-year-olds who think that the power of shocking words isn't degraded quickly over constant, unrestrained use.
I laughed at the part where they started peeling the potato; all of the prior scenes seemed to be leading up to it, so there was a decent amount of anticipation for the point when they realize what's going on and all the intentionally over the top mawkishness fades away. Other than that, eh ...
I know people are probably sick of the phrase "trying too hard", but all the swearing in the trailer makes this film really feels like it's trying way too hard to be "adult". Well, after re-watching the trailer it seems the one I watched initially on some news site bleeped out all the profanity, which kind of made it feel like there was way more of it than in the uncensored version. Either way, I guess it could be funny. Trailers do sometimes sell movies short.
Here is the thing. I dont think the movie is suppose to be aimed at children ( obviously ) the easiest way to make sure that parents dont bring their kids to see the movie thinking it is another childrens movie is to add swearing.
That being said, up until to part with the potato ( who thought he was going to heaven or something) i thought it was just another boring cute kids movie. And then LOLNOPE.
I personslly found the trailer halarious. And can't wait to see it.

...or maybe one persons comedy is another persons 'meh', and given this is a trailer - which is promotional material for something, and not the actual something - those people who find it 'meh' are expressing their opinion of 'meh'.
It's not even a case of 'taking everything too damn seriously', it's just a case of 'comedy is subjective'. People don't like what you like, and are expressing that opinion. Doesn't mean they're all humourless fucks, just means they're not keen on Seth Rogan's particular brand of comedy.
Which is understandable, because Seth Rogan's comedy is terrible.
Personally, I think this idea would work better as either a short film or even as just a joke/fake trailer rather than a full movie. The premise, while funny (in a horrifying and macabre way) doesn't strike me as strong enough to carry through a full length feature.
Also I just have to mention, when was the last time anyone said "go (name), it's your birthday"? The whole script reeks of a bad Newgrounds flash from the 90s.
The weird part is that, from some of what I've read, the theological aspects of the story actually seem reasonably interesting. Not exactly high art, but decent. Yet, it's distributed among scenes with someone fingering a rat's arsehole then sticking the finger in someone's mouth ... no, really, that's a thing that happens, and it's not even the most grotesque thing that happens in the tiny portion of the script that I've bothered to read so far.
And that's not even mentioning all the stereotypes this movie has. I'm sure that would come as no suprise to anyone who has watched the trailer, but reading the script reveals that pretty much every product is either some stereotype of whatever culture they derive from or some other connection (the tuna is a generic sailor, the twinky is gay, etc). Now, before people scream "SJW!" for pointing that out, this doesn't offend me, it just comes off as incredibly lazy when every character's personality can be summed up without saying a word and simply pointing to a map. Actually, screw that, you don't even need to point to a map, all you need to know is what type of product they are and you can figure it out for yourself.
At one point there is some curry. Do I need to say more? You know this character already. Want to guess if they're lazy enough to mention cows?
There is some cheese. You already know this this character.
There are dumplings. You already know this character.
There is a packet of Uncle Ben's Tom's rice. If you are at all familiar with Uncle Ben's rice, you already know this character, and even if you aren't, the name Uncle Tom should probably give you a pretty good idea.
There are tacos. Want to guess this character's personality?
