An American Pickle is a decent film. You'll get a couple good laughs, and the run time is short enough to not waste your time.
The premise (as you already know) is ridiculous, but the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. That's a good thing.
At the same time, you'll probably completely forget all about this movie come next Tuesday.
