Synopsis
Herschel Greenbaum (Seth Rogen), a struggling laborer who immigrates to America in 1919, falls into a vat of pickles at his factory job and is preserved in brine for 100 years.
He emerges in present-day Brooklyn to find that he hasn't aged a day. But when he seeks out his family, he learns that his only surviving relative is his great-grandson, Ben Greenbaum (also played by Rogen), a mild-mannered computer coder whom Herschel can't even begin to understand.
Jinks ensue...

Not a good pickle
Summary
Predictable and ponderous comedy
