The Story:
Anthropomorphic food get a wake up call when they realize that being chosen by humans is not the blessing they all believe it to be.
I held out for 15 minutes.
15 excruciatingly long, painfully unfunny minutes.
Then eject, send back to Netflix and move on to something, anything better.
Now if your idea of a side-splitting comedy is watching food say #@$#@#$ and want to #$@@#$@# each other, then enjoy this film.
As for me, I didn't find it *#&^ing funny.
:)
This kind of humor is a waste of a great vocal cast.
High school teenagers can, and probably have, written better.
On a positive note, it looked pretty good. Too bad the company opted not to pay all of the artists or give over half of them credit for their finished work.
Yes, I get that it's Certified Fresh and was even on some critics Top 10 lists.
There is always some critical darling that comes along that I don't like.
To be fair, like many critics, this too has the possibility of winding up on one of my End of the Year countdowns.
There is no doubt in my mind that this will wind up on my Turkey of the Year awards.
So far it would be # 1.
With a bullet.
It will be hard-pressed to knock it from this dreaded position.
Final Grade: F
