A silly premise leads to a scattershot story. The satirical sequences were bizarrely witty, but it just doesn't work as a whole, goes through many unfunny stretches, and suffers from bad tone management and pacing.

Though not consistently funny, it is somewhat clever without trying too hard to make any kind of point, and it was worth the watch for me. It's not totally dumb like some of Seth Rogan's movies, but it doesn't take itself too seriously either. He has a decent double performance.

A thought provoking folk tale. A few scenes were too long, but the writing is quite strong in this. Be warned, this is a drama, not a comedy, and my rating is based on this genre classification. I you go into it expecting laughs, you will be disappointed.

Yea.. It takes itself too seriously for such a goofy topic and it shows. There isn't a balanced. It doesn't bore you but you just can't get into it either.. Somewhere in the middle..

Half this movie is a great pickle, a nice dill or a half sour. The rest? Those heinous bread and butter ones you get by accident when you forget to read the jar because you’re so excited to get some pickles. This is all premise with nothing supporting it. It not being funny is kinda funny.

This was simple and funny (leaning on the cute side). Rogen (two of them) puts aside the stonerisms and goes full Jew.

I thought this was going to be a documentary on the history of the American Pickle. I even listened to Seth on WTF discuss this film, and I continued to believe this was a documentary.

It has its moments but ultimately it's quite bland. Unless you're a big fan of Seth I would pass on this one.

It has some genuine heart and Rogen is impressive here in fully realizing two very different characters. Unfortunately it's just not all that funny. The biggest laughs come from the comedy inherent in recognizing the (surface-level) parallels between a turn-of-the-century working class immigrant and a contemporary hipster.

Surprising touching and warm-hearted poem to traditional values in modern times, without falling into heavy political commentary and bipartisanship.

It knew enough to not cut the balls off of the dramatic parts, specifically at the end. Just let whatever heartfelt and touching moment there is breathe. Aside from that, it was a little weird watching Rogan do the accent, but he carried two different characters so I think he deserves respect. It wasn't as funny as you might think, even if you're a big Rogan fan, but there were a few good laughs scattered throughout. Script flirts with some commentary but doesn't go in deep.
