It's silly - lots of of the things they did to subvert the CGI genre were good.
I think that if your'a kid who's 15-22 and see this it might get you to think differently about organized religion - but if you're already there it's not going to really make you laugh. I think South Park BLU was that movie -- from 17 years ago - and South Park was funnier.
I did like the way they had the humans see the food.
I was engaged and I enjoyed it.
I though Brenda Buns was the weakest character actually.

rarely laughed out loud. it was clever but characters just kept appearing places when convenient and a lot of the jokes seemed to consider themselves a little more clever than they were. ultimately the movie fell back on the tropes of most animated kids movies rather than truly attempting to subvert them and that held it back from getting more than a few chuckles out of me.
it was a novel experience but in a more gratuitous, oh right it's a vulgar cartoon way than I'd hoped. I went in expecting something a little smarter, or at least cuter like the opening discussion about length vs. girth.
11. "Sausage Party under fire for treating its animators like shit" In response to Reply # 0 Thu Aug-18-16 01:24 PM by BigReg
I remember when the film was first announced and they mentioned the budget and were cracking jokes about how cheap they were gonna have to make it...seems they passed the hassle onto the motherfuckers that actually made the film:
Animators who worked on the project only agreed to speak to Variety on the condition of anonymity, fearing that speaking out publicly could limit their professional opportunities. Some described a hostile workplace where staffers were expected to work overtime for no pay. When staffers tried to leave the job early they were told they would not be credited or were threatened with reprisals.
“People would go in to talk to Greg (the co-director's) or give their notice and there’d be screaming about being blacklisted,” said one animator.
The animator claimed that Nitrogen had no human resources staff so any complaints about working conditions had to be made to line producer Nicole Stine, who is Tiernan’s wife.
