"Sausage Party" ** /2 R, 1:29, animated Insanely raunchy, and occasionally very funny, "Sausage Party" won't be for everyone. But you could say that about any film featuring a vaginal douche as a villain; a talking used condom with a tale of woe to tell; a tremendous amount of rough language and rough sex and rough existential reckonings; and a climactic orgy, the foodstuffs out of their packaging at last. The script by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir has an inspired stupid idea and boundless nerve, as well as a legitimate interest in theological debate. Truly, it does. I swear. I laughed a lot in the first half, before the movie's repetitive jackhammer pacing began working against its better instincts. - M.P

"Pete's Dragon" * * * /2 PG, 1:43, action/adventure Wait: How did this happen? How did a remake of the 1977 Dis- ney animation/live-action hybrid "Pete's Dragon:' a pushy medi- ocrity from tip to tail, become the most soulful film of the summer and one of the best of the year? In terms of story, director David Lowery's version shares only two things with the '77 model. Pete's an orphan. And the title is still "Pete's Dragon:' which indicates there's a dragon (beautifully, digitally realized this time, as opposed to animated). After a seriously transporting first half, the second half is more conventional in its narrative beats. Compared with the old "Pete's Dragon:' this is another, higher realm of emotional engagement. - MP

"Jason Boume" *** PG-13, 2:03, action/adventure Jason Boume is back after nine long years in cold franchise storage. That time gap explains why the new film, "Jason Bourne' puts quotes around its conflicted superassassin's full fake name. We know it, according to the ads. We know his name. But just in case. Matt Damon has settled nicely into this largely nonverbal role of a trained killer piecing together his past on the fly, while killing those who are trying to kill him. At its best, "Ja- son Boume" crackles with professionalism; at its worst, it's rehashing greatest hits (as in "assassinations") from earlier films. - M.P

No matter who you vote for, we have your bases cc: "Bad Moms" ** R, 1:41, comedy As surely as most mothers can't win, "Bad Moms" can't lose. Certainly, it can't lose with moms who've endured, through gritted teeth, one too many R-rated guy comedies. Amy, played by Mila Kunis, runs her life as an exercise injust-in-time management. "Bad Moms" takes Amy's maelstrom of a life just seriously enough to connect with all sorts of parents, though you're continually aware of all the pandering and shortcuts and b.s. afoot. "Bad Moms" keeps settling for less than it should, given all the talent on screen. - M.P 33

I've changed my philosophy on how much contact we have, how we run our drills.
