An American Pickle (2020 HBO Max) - Greg - 08-17-2020 Seth Rogen stars as himself and as his great grandfather who was preserved for a 100 years in a vat of pickle brine. If your immediate reaction is to find something else to watch, go with that impulse. It's not very good. I thought it would be better because of, sigh, reviews. And he wasn't horrible in the Charlize Theron comedy he just did. I gave it a chance. I now have remorse. There are twist and turns in the plot that are unexpected, but it's not that funny. The story isn't all that engaging. Oddly, it's very religious for an atheist like Rogen. Plenty of Rogen snort-laughs if you need those. RE: An American Pickle (2020 HBO Max) - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2020 I’m so torn about that Theron Rogen flick. Haven’t seen it. Think it would annoy me. RE: An American Pickle (2020 HBO Max) - Greg - 08-17-2020 Yeah. It's awkward. But I don't immediately switch it off when I catch it on HBO. Theron overpowers Rogen. RE: An American Pickle (2020 HBO Max) - Drunk Monk - 08-17-2020 Theron can overpower me any day. It annoys me that she wasted time overpowering Rogen.  He must have good pot. How come you never reviewed that one? That might nudge me to watching it. Someday I will. I cannot resist Charlize.
