Seth Rogen’s HBO Max comedy “An American Pickle” has an immigrant worker (Rogen) at a pickle factory accidentally preserved for 100 years and waking up in modern-day Brooklyn where he meets his grandson (also played by Seth Rogen). Sold.
Directed by Brandon Trost, this latest comedy from Rogen also stars Maya Erskine and Sarah Snook. It doesn’t look like the typical stoner project Rogen usually stars in, there seems to be a tad more maturity and heart here. Last we saw Rogen, he co-starred alongside Charlize Theron in last year’s “Long Shot”
“An American Pickle” was picked up by HBO Max after Sony gave it up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film will stream starting August 6.
