'An American Pickle' Review: Seth Rogen stars as a Jewish immigrant who falls into a vat of pickle brine and wakes up a century later in present-day Brooklyn
To borrow from the old Levy’s rye bread ad, you don’t have to be Jewish to love “An American Pickle.
” The story—about an Eastern European immigrant who’s preserved in pickle brine for 100 years and then wakes up in present-day Brooklyn—does rely a bit heavily on shtetl humor, Cossack jokes and the comedic potential of Old Testament-style misogyny. At the same time, it has some savvy things to say about social media, assimilation and a specifically American condition: the peculiar mix of embarrassment and pride one can harbor about one’s ethnic origins.
