If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com HBO Max arrives to become one more proof of how vital streaming has been to new filmmakers and writers all around the world. An American Pickle is the very first original film released by the respective service, and it gives the opportunity to Brandon Trost (solo directorial debut) and Simon Rich (feature film screenplay debut) to demonstrate their talents.

(CASTELLANO) Encurtido en el tiempo es una comedia bastante tonta, pero también tiene algo simpático. Parte de una idea absurda —un inmigrante queda conservado durante cien años en una cuba de encurtidos y despierta en el Brooklyn actual— y la lleva con una mezcla de humor bobo, choque generacional, ternura familiar y un punto de mala leche.
