Slightly disappointed, slightly repetitive
I was absolutely gearing up for Roxane Gay's latest book which turned out to be a mish mash of interesting short stories, intersecting racism, classism and sexism. The only issue was about 75% of the book seemed to repeat itself. It seemed to be missing a trick - there are more to women's lives than men, which was the main focus.

This film was horrendous. The sexism and misogyny that radiates from this movie are too much. The plot is bad, the acting was bad, it's really just bad. I have a friend who said that this is one of his favorite movies and for the life of me, I can't figure out why!

Maybe it's just not my jam, personally, I don't know. I just can say, without a doubt, I did not like this film.

Mildly disturbing, beyond crude
There are very few films out there where the cringe factor outstrips the comedy, but this definitely hits it. While I was mildly impressed by its all star cast (Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, Kristin Wiig, Seth Rogen), I was also slightly distressed by its ridiculous storyline, especially the last Sausage Party scene - which says it all. The language and content goes beyond South Park levels of inappropriate. Expect sexism, racism, rampant sex scenes, and drug use - in animated form. It's definitely not Disney.

Mary Anne only stops being a doormat because she fears the wrath of K. Ron Hubbard. Check.

An older woman, who presumably has been living by herself for quite a while, breaks her ankle and just...lays around waiting for someone to hear her yelling? I'm going to pretend that she just passed out from the pain, woke up and figured she'd call out before moving her ass so a neighboring cat wouldn't eat her face.

The sexism b-plot with Nicky and Buddy was kinda nice, though.
