There’s a sense that 'An American Pickle' could have been something special, but it doesn't quite manage to live up to its promise. It isn't the place of a critic to discuss what a movie ought to be, only to evaluate the one presented. With that in mind, the issue with 'An American Pickle' seems to be that two different movies are competing for attention. I found myself hoping for the story about family and loss, centered on Jewish men adjusting to new lives—that’s the film I wanted to see. Instead, what emerges is a clash between characters who seem determined to undermine each other. As it is, 'An American Pickle' feels disjointed; the various elements don't quite mesh well together.
