Not every comedy has to be as substantial as Stanley Kubrick's outings in the genre, but a comedy which does the hard work is always a welcome addition - particularly during awards season, in which comedies are so often overlooked in favour of more overtly serious but often inferior films.īy these standards, or indeed any standards, Sausage Party is a great comedy.

There is value to be found in taking a comedy seriously. Rating: R (Pervasive Language|Drug Use|Strong Crude Sexual Content)
