An American Pickle definitely taps into the feeling of culture shock that seems to permeate every “average” day lately. It’s an immigration story that’s also a time travel story, and a family drama. Based on the novella Sell Out by Simon Rich, who adapted the work into a screenplay, the project is also HBO Max’s first original film. Here’s everything you need to know about An American Pickle.

He emerges in 2020 and finds his great-grandson (also played by Rogen), who helps him assimilate to life in the 21st century.
