After falling inside a pickle tank Herschel Greenbaum stays there during 100 years. One day two kids accidentally open the tank.
The first thing that pops out is the obvious confrontation of the different generations, been this difference represented by Herschel and Ben Greenbaum (his great great son). The movie shows the different approach that both generations choose to face life.
To be honest I think the movie would gain more if the drama aspect was more into the movie to be more balanced because sometimes it feels that the comedy aspect downgrade the emotional investimment of the audience.
I like the critic that the movie does to some people that interpretes some opinions of the past with the values of today and it critics the people who tries to interpretate some opinions making them more that what they are. The criticism of egoism of the new generation in any ways, since the fact that people want everything for themselves and the fact that people don't want anyone to succeed.
This movie is great, despite going throw a road that I think is not benefit for the movie and it downgrade the emotional potential, the picture give us some criticism to society since the religious obsession, to egoism and it give us one funny experience envolving two different generations
