zany time-slip comedy; There are laughs along the way..inevitably, as with so much high-concept comedy, the real laughs; An American Pickle is a tasty, insubstantial snack of a comedy
Seth Rogen's bizarre dual performance is one of his best; Playing against himself as both an Eastern European immigrant and his Brooklyn great-grandchild, Rogen singlehandedly rescues this strange Jewish satire
Seth Rogen shines in dual role in this sweet, earnest fable; An entertaining fable that makes up for some weak plotting with a strong dual Seth Rogen performance
part time-travelling family drama, part idiosyncratic immigrant-adventure comedy, An American Pickle's gags underwhelm, but its emotion and originality will surprise you. One of oddest films of 2020 so far, buoyed by two superb turns from Rogen
not everything sticks; "An American Pickle" is the kind of movie that never quite decides what it wants to be. Pick a lane, as they say. Otherwise, you’re all over the place
it gestures toward controversial ideas but always swerves back to a simple but profound message of togetherness and family, and the personal importance of honoring tradition and memory
a tough movie to dislike; the captivating dual-role performance of Seth Rogen; "An American Pickle" is neither the most substantial nor the most sophisticated comedy, but its soulful sweetness outweighs its flaws
a solid film with a few good gags and a fair amount of heart; this is a lot of Rogen. It's fun to see him flex and stretch acting opposite himself. He doesn't get enough credit for his more serious turns and this is a nice showcase overall
