Leave your thoughts about The Pickle Recipe.
| Film InternationalElias SavadaIts table scraps tossed about in hope of striking a smile with some of its viewers, The Pickle Recipe leaves the laughs on the floor. |
| Buffalo NewsMark SommerThe Pickle Recipe mostly works as an upbeat comedy that has its heart in the right place, aided by an essential trace element of Jewish humor, Kosher pickle included. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongLook, you can see where all this is going in the first 15 minutes, but getting there is plenty of fun. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerMichael HeatonUnfortunately, the result is by turns too cutesy, corny and predictable to be much of a crowd-pleaser the way My Big Fat Greek Wedding was. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillThe Pickle Recipe disappoints because it wants to have it both ways - acerbic and sweet in equal doses. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerHilarity is supposed to ensue, but the script, by Sheldon Cohn and Gary Wolfson, is tepid stuff, and Michael Manasseri, the director, doesn’t find a way to enliven it. |
| Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberEthnic comedies have their limitations, and a sharper script would have helped this one to stand out from the pack. Nevertheless, audiences in a forgiving mood will enjoy the byplay among an appealing bunch of desperate characters. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMichael Manasseri’s film wants to be one of those sweet-with-sharp-notes comedies, and in some respects it is. But it is overwhelmed with clichés, stereotypes and overly broad portrayals. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanDespite a solid central performance by film veteran Lynn Cohen and a Detroit setting that will please expats and current residents of the Motor City, there is little here to lift this film beyond its regional appeal. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenRose’s pickles might have a pleasant snap, but there’s none to be found in the tired, limp shtick in Sheldon Cohn and Gary Wolfson’s screenplay, which has been choreographed at a lumbering, drawn-out pace by director Michael Manasseri. |
