An American Pickleskews closely to the buddy movie formula , pitting two mismatched people against each other and seeing what hilarity ensues . Herschel is very much a fish out of water , struggling to keep up with evolving engineering science and societal norm that are second nature to Ben . This dichotomy is funny - especially in the early loss - and does render a fresh perspective on thing modern audiences may take for granted ( see : Herschel ’s genuine astonishment at an quotidian seltzer maker ) . On the insolent side , An American Pickledoes follow a pretty predictable flight and mines a lot of comedy out of fairly obvious places , such as Herschel having extremely politically incorrect point of view or being beat by Ben ’s line of oeuvre . This material is skillful for a joke or two , but it does sense a little standard as the movie goes on .
The screenplay by Simon Rich is base on his unforesightful story " Sell Out " , and at times it seems like he ’s trying to stretch along a shorter narrative to feature of speech - length . An American Pickle’smain plot follow Herschel ’s endeavor to establish a successful hole business on the street of New York , commenting on the quirk of net celebrities and viral civilization . However , the story is a bit thin in some areas , and most of the cardinal conflict come to short more than Herschel render to grow his business organization while Ben schemes ways to countermine his bully - granddad . It can be fun to watch Rogen and Rogen go head - to - head , but the storyline is n’t the most clever or significant . Rich does garner point for his attack to inject meaningful heart intoAmerican Pickle- be it topic of family or Ben ’s reluctance to embrace Judaism . The geographic expedition of these ideas typically scratch the control surface , but they still giveAn American Picklesome poignant moment .
