We have all heard the story. A family comes from the old country. They work hard. They wait. They dream One of them … is preserved in pickled brine.
An American pickle, Seth Rogenthe last movie and an unexpected wrinkle in the continuum of science fiction memes related to pickles, she is an extraordinarily strange creature. A fish comedy out of water, stars Seth Rogen in two roles: Herschel Greenbaum, an American Jewish immigrant pickled in vinegar in 1920, who emerges alive but somehow not pickled in 2020, and Ben Greenbaum, his only surviving relative, a coding great-grandson. Directed by Brandon Trost, the film is based on a Simon Rich novel, with the script also written by Rich.
Does this movie look good? You know, probably not. But there is something compelling about a premise so absurd that it is played on screen in a relatively serious way. It promises a pickle adventure, family love, and maybe some hope for the future. Along with Rogen, the film stars Maya Erskine, Sarah Snook, and Eliot Glazer.
