Tom Long Detroit News Look, you can see where all this is going in the first 15 minutes, but getting there is plenty of fun. Rated: B Nov 4, 2016 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times The pickles in "The Pickle Recipe" apparently have quite a kick. The movie, though, is pretty flavorless. Nov 3, 2016 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times Rose'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. Nov 3, 2016 Full Review Tom Santilli AXS.com Rated: B+ Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com The Pickle Recipe disappoints because it wants to have it both ways - acerbic and sweet in equal doses. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Michael Heaton Cleveland Plain Dealer Unfortunately, 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. Rated: C+ Apr 21, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
