There are some scattered laughs but it's not particularly funny, and 'American Pickle' (★★ out of four; rated PG-13; streaming Thursday) is generally all over the place, writes briantruitt for usatodaylife.
Directed by first-timer Brandon Trost, the film opens in the fictional locale of Schlupsk in 1919 with bearded ditch digger Herschel Greenbaum, played by Rogen channeling a stoic cross between Borat and Yakov Smirnoff. Things are bleak in his country – the fact that his shovels constantly break doesn't help – but he falls in love with Sarah , and they talk about their hopes and dreams of being"afford your own gravestone"-rich at their favorite bog.
While they're initially somewhat happy to know each other, Ben eschews religion and doesn't seem big on family – two aspects of utmost importance for Herschel. They get into a fight, Herschel strikes out on his own and becomes a viral hit selling artisanal pickles , and it leads to an abundance of unfortunate actions by both men.
