What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The products are taught to trust a code promising a great beyond, while Frank investigates whether that promise is true.
Frank leads supermarket products toward rebellion against their human masters and the logic of consumption.
The film foregrounds profanity, food-based double entendres, sexual spectacle, and deliberately adolescent comedic energy.
Its anthropomorphic supermarket premise and animated format are paired with an R rating and aggressively adult comedy.
