Re: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's Sausage Party....
Well Seth Rogen is pretty much a one trick pony and offensive is all he knows sadly, which is about all I can say for 99 percent of modern "comedians". But he has enough fans that this might make money.
I wouldn't say it's all he knows, it's just what's making him money.
He does the pg movies, or gets acclaim for roles like in the Steve Jobs flick, but when he tries the PG with his own work it fails... He knows his audience for his own projects is "Hard R".
He produced 50/50 and starred and it's a GREAT flick about dealing with cancer... But it certainly didn't rake in the money "This is the End" did.
This movie will do well. Every screening has scored through the roof.
And when it comes down to it, what makes the flick really funny is what the others brought to the table. Jonah Hill, Micheal Cera, and Nick Krohl were friggin hilarious... they made the movie... Kristin Wiig was great as well.
The board artists created a lot of the humor as well... and then by the time the animators got to it, their acting choices elevated it even more.
It's really, REALLY calaborative.
