‘Sausage Party: Foodtopia’ Season 2 Review - Childish Adult Comedy Returns

For Frank, life hasn’t been easy ever since Brenda died.  He still hallucinates talking to Brenda and eventually sees her dying in his arms, just like how it happened in the previous season. None of the foods are happy in Foodtopia, although Frank tries to force happiness. But the truth is, happiness comes from within. At Foodtopia, there is constant heat, which is causing the foods to melt and work harder. Presently, there is a continuous fight over the food to be in the fridge. Although Frank claims that he will make a cool zone which will have fridges for every food, no one is ready to believe him.  Clearly, no one is happy with the state of affairs, and Frank is not either. Everyone thinks he now plays the “Brenda card,” meaning that for every incompetence, he uses his name as an excuse. Brenda’s Jack, the only human who desperately wishes to get accepted in Foodtopia, tries his level best to cheer up Frank. But sometimes even Jack thinks he is playing the Brenda card again. What Frank doesn’t know is that fellow foods are planning to end his regime by killing him and Jack. However, just in time, Barry comes and manages to get an escape with Jack and Frank, thereby saving their lives. So now Frank, Jack, Barry, and Sammy set out to join a new food community. It is also sad to see how Jack is trying hard to convince them to take him as food, although he is actually a human. These foods use him to reach a new destination, making him run through the scorching heat in the desert.  They soon decide to leave Jack behind and go on to explore Newfoodland. For them, that’s good news because they manage to mingle in their found food community. Everything is amazing and perfect until they discover the reality of the so-called perfect town. What could that be?

Firstly, there have been scenes where I found Foodtopia to be a little disgusting. But that’s probably because it is an adult comedy. For example, scenes where Barry is controlling Jack from inside his pants. Secondly, the plot is childlike, which is fine since it's an animated movie. But the combination of animation and adult comedy is weird. Coming to the pacing, the pacing is slow. Even after you fast-forward, nothing really progresses in the plot. At some point, it feels like the plot is being dragged, which shouldn’t have been the case.

When we talk about the dialogs, well, what else can you expect from an adult comedy? Lots of cuss words in every second line. Moreover, I didn’t quite understand if Foodtopia was a representation of the real world, because if it was, then I don’t know what the analogy was.

So don’t expect anything serious out of it. Yes, what you can expect is weird scenes between foods as they enjoy their lives. I would say just like the other foods, I, too, am unhappy with Frank’s plot.

Final Score- [6/10]
