An American Pickle (2020)
An American Pickle (2020) is a comedy-drama film directed by Brandon Trost. It follows Herschel Greenbaum (Seth Rogen), a Jewish immigrant from Eastern Europe, who, after being accidentally preserved in a pickle vat for 100 years, wakes up in modern-day Brooklyn. He reconnects with his great-grandson Ben (also played by Seth Rogen), a struggling app developer. The film explores themes of identity, family, and the clash between old-world traditions and modern culture. Herschel’s journey through the 21st century highlights humorous contrasts between his old-fashioned views and contemporary life.
