'SAUSAGE PARTY'

Rated R for strong crude sexual content, pervasive language and drug use.

What it's about: This R-rated, foul-mouthed animated movie is like the "Secret Life of Pets" for grocery store foods.

The kid attractor factor: Kids might think this is a film for them due to the cute animated characters _ rest assured it is most decidedly not for kids.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Good: It's OK to question your faith and belief in myths, as long as you stick together. Bad: Eating food is murder?

Violence: While it's all of the cartoon-y variety, there are some horror-movie stylings to the way the foods get dispatched in the slaughterhouses, aka kitchens. There's also an animated severed human head, and the foods fight back, aggressively, towards the human shoppers, gleefully killing them.

Language: Swearing is plentiful, gratuitous even, as is raunch sex talk.

Sexuality: Most of the film is centered around the sexual innuendo of hot dogs and buns. Graphic group sex scene brings a new meaning to "food porn."

Drugs: Lots of marijuana smoking, and a human injects bath salts! Which the foods then use as a weapon.

Parents advisory: No, no, no, this is not a movie for kids or tweens. MATURE teens only.
