What age appropriate for movie sausage party?

SPOILERS!!

Sex & Nudity
At the end of the film there is one gigantic food orgy. Every food in the whole grocery store are doing sexual acts ranging from intercourse to oral. Not overly graphic, as they are foods, but it's about three minutes of lots of foods moaning and taking part in sexual acts. Near the end, one of the quick cuts appears to be the anus of Lavash in close up view.

A douche controls a man's actions by pulling his scrotum. When he grasps a hot dog sausage from the man's zipper, it appears like a penis in another angle with the douche's forearms resembling veiny testicles.

During the orgy, a bagel stretches Lavash's scrotum over of his face.

Throughout the film, we see a "douche" (a female hygiene product) trying to get to a woman, when he looses his fluid, he sucks the juice out of a juice box, but he does it in a way that displays oral sex. Played for laughs.

In one comedic scene, we see a used condom on the street talking to one of the sausage's telling him what happened to him, while it is played for laughs some people may be grossed out by this scene.

A talking, almost-empty roll of toilet paper tells other foods not to know what happened to him, implying he was constantly wiped with feces.

There's a lesbian taco who falls in love with Brenda.

Lots of sexual dialogue, references and puns.

Violence & Gore
There are sequences that show people cooking, from the food's perspective. Which involves mutilation and severing of many foods. It is very comical and not graphic at all.

Early on, a parody of the opening of "Saving Private Ryan" is shown when a cart of food is knocked out to the ground. We see food getting mutilated, killed and running for their lives.

The finale shows another "Saving Private Ryan" scene, where food starts attacking people. It is very cartoony and contains little blood and gore.

In the orgy, we see shot of a sausage getting choked and another one with a lavash getting punched in the stomach.

Profanity
Takes advantage of the R rating well with the profanity. 150 uses of "F@ck", 50 uses of "Sh!t", 9 uses of "A@@hole", 5 uses of "Ass", 3 uses of "C@nt" and "God Damn", 2 uses of "Pussy" and 1 use of "Damn" and "Hell".

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking
There are foods that are clearly representing potheads, as well as a scene of Frank smoking.

A man shoots himself with bath salts, and goes on a "trip".

Frightening/Intense Scenes
This is not for kids.

Don't forget the casual racists stereotypes of Firewater and Mr. Grits.

Oh please. Yes he has. Unless he literally never leaves the house and has no friends.

I believe it, lived the in suburbs, no car, parents had total control over what I did, including my friends. No cable. I was not able to see an R rated movie until I went to college

Most kids have Netflix on their laptops these days. Unless parents are putting major control over it, kinda easy to see rated R movies. So many are on you tube too. At least enough clips that people can say they saw it.

Exactly. Unless your kids has no access to the internet, he has seen rated R movies. And really, a 16 year old is old enough to see most rated R movies.

Bubble-living.
Many teens do not have their own laptops, and no Netflix if they do happen to have access to laptops. With the internet of course they can access all sorts of stuff.
But seriously, some R rated movies are not that bad, while some truly are disturbing and not appropriate for susceptible teens. So don't just go with that general rating.

Do what YOU feel is right for your family - don't fall for the "everyone is doing it so my kid has to do it too" mob mentality.

We don't censor media much at all, so I would allow my own children to see it at any age where they expressed interest. I would not, however, consider that an appropriate decision for me to make for other parents' children so I would not be okay with them seeing it with a group of friends unless I knew all parents were fine with that.

Never. We try to teach our kids the difference between mature content and trash. For the former, it is about having an appropriate understanding of the complex imagery and subject matter. For the latter, it's about not wasting our time and money on worthless garbage. From everything I've read, this film would definitely fall into the latter category.

I heard Seth Rogen on a podcast admit that he couldn't believe this movie got made due to the filth. I will see it but I am 38, I didn't get the feeling from his tone that it's a kids movie at all.

Just because it is animated doesn't mean it ever was meant to be viewed by kids.

We're okay with my 14-year-old watching many rated R movies & even our 12-year-old has seen a couple of R movies with our blessing but Sausage Party? Never in a million years would we allow either one of them to watch that one!

My 10 yo was just asking to see it today. Glad I saw that incredible description above. Wow. I'm almost impressed. It is kind of funny that a bunch of animated food can be so terribly lewd.

Watch the trailer. You will have your answer.

Yeah, that doesn't mean you never HEARD of them.

Op, I posted something earlier today. I want to add an additional thought for you: movie ratings are only in 5 categories. And they 'graduate' from G almost immediately. So 4. And Nc-17/x isn't for kids. So 3 varieties: pg, pg-13, and R. Your kids from ages 2-17 are more varied than three categories.

Use commonsense media, where you will see if a movie is appropriate for each of those 16 ages. Not 3. 16. At least try to stick to that. Their ratings get fairly loose after age 13/14 anyway. My own limit as an adult is usually 13/14, based on my comfort zone.

Sausage party is rated by them: "not for children."

My 17 and 15 year old were horrified by it. Didn't even watch it until the end.

My son, who was about to start college, saw it with his friends last summer and came home shaking his head. After reading the above, I understand why.

I'd not allow a 12 year old to see it.

It is a seriously impressive orgy scene.
