The cast is chock full of Hollywood A-Listers including a man of the moment, Tom Hiddleston, the always popular Samuel L. Jackson (in a bad guy role) and even an attempt at some form of indie cred with Brie Larson, here getting her best Lara Croft on following her star turn in Room.

Retro Movie Review – Sausage Party

The story is an out right fantasy voyage and while this is a genre whose charms often elude, this is so inventively ...
