The fantasy aspects are treated pretty casually. Is it heartwarming? Not really. The message it tries to deliver is predictable and far from earth shattering. Some may like it, but, to me, it was like a long unfunny joke that was all setup and no payoff. Frankly, I’m surprised it was made.… Expand

Not very memorable, while it has a interesting premise it's wasted with crude and racist humour. A poor script and very offensive targeting towards certain groups. Seth Rogen praises one culture and religion but is very discriminatory andNot very memorable, while it has a interesting premise it's wasted with crude and racist humour.

Love the double standards of today's world. We can laugh at Poles, we cannot laugh at trans, blacks and Jews. I can't agree on that.

I don't know why people are giving it such a bad review. It was funny, had a good story, and had great acting. Seriously, if you have HBO Max I suggest watching it.

For what it is, it's a good movie. To me it seems they made what they set out to make. It's a heartfelt movie and was enjoyable to watch.

Seth does a wonderful job in this simple, short, and sweet film. It is an enjoyable, easy going watch and features very good commentary on the current constructs of our world.

Perfectly fine. Not Rogen’s best or funniest films, but probably one of his better performances. Worth the 90 minutes if you have HBO Max

Funny idea, but poorly executed. It never managed to get me to laugh. It just seemed too forced and predictable.

It was decent, nothing that good comedy wise but wasn't like completely boring. The story was ok, nothing amazing, but it passed time and was ok.

It's ironic that Seth Rogen made a film that for viewers like me fails to achieve the goal it seems to aim at and for fans of his humor it won't be boorish and funny enough as most of his films.

To be honest I can say that watching a buddy comedy where Rogen plays both characters was something that I could expect from him but the result is both preposterous and odd to work properly, especially since both characters are charmless.

Of course, this film by no means tries to be realistic nor I as a viewer was looking for some kind of realism in its story, but it's also fair to ask that the idea be sufficiently cohesive or that at least in its own absurdity doesn't feel so distant, because it's true that An America Pickle is a comedy at its core, but its messages go a little further than that humor, and yet the story fails to properly connect both elements.

Yes, I admit that you will laugh more than a couple of times, but in the end there's very little to rescue to become an important film for the career of its lead actor.… Expand

An American Pickle is a decent movie. The movie's got an interesting story, decent acting, great cinematography, some good humour, bad pacing and quite a few plot holes.

The acting is funny, the story is funny. This movie strikes me as funny. But don't let that fool you, there are some sad and serious moments inside of it. The movie wasn't spectacular, but it is worth a watch and it made me feel good.
