An American Pickle (Brandon Trost, August 6, 2020) (HBO Max) Movie • Page 2

half true, it was decent or w/e but obviously should've been better than it was

 

can we like, go back to talking about this film (and its possible halfway-decency the bulk of reviews seem to suggest) instead of discussing sausage party in Q3 of 2020

 

thanks for reminding us somehow we are in Q3 of 2020

 

lmao i was joking about sausage party being the best, guys, but ok

i thought it was hella funny while stoned. pretty sure that's all it's trying to be.

 

i knew you were being hyperbolic fwiw

 

I certainly missed the joke, ha

 

I remember seeing Sausage Party in theaters and having an older lady walk out during the orgy scene. All I could think was “after everything else in this movie this is the last straw?”

 

I loved Sausage Party the first time I saw it and thought it was hilarious but when I rewatched it a few years later I did not enjoy it that much.

 

they were really just trying to make the most absurd and ridiculous movie possible and play it off like a pixar film. they take it to an extreme and it's obviously not a clever movie by any means, but i was cracking up the whole time so i can't complain.

 

Seth Rogen tiers (Seth Rogen + Evan Goldberg/Point Grey Pictures only so no Apatow ones like Knocked Up)

The Classics: Superbad, This is the End, Pineapple Express
The Really Good Ones: Neighbors 1&2, The Disaster Artist, Good Boys, 50/50
The Ok Ones: Long Shot, Blockers, The Interview, The Night Before
The Bad Ones: The Green Hornet, The Watch, Sausage Party, Game Over Man!

Based on the reception, I'm hopeful this goes in the really good ones tier?

 

@soggytime That list is 100% correct for the ones I have seen. My only though is that maybe The Night Before moves up just one tier.

 

I feel like long shot should be up a tier as well

 

50/50 probably better than everything else mentioned

 

also, i’m gonna be pissed/disappointed if there’s jokes about jews that are no better than what we got out of jojo rabbit, but i’m not too worried since it’s rogen

 

knocked up > 50/50> long shot > funny people > superbad > neighbors > take this waltz > 40 year old virgin > this is the end > zack and miri make a porno > pineapple express > the disaster artist > sausage party > green hornet > the guilt trip > observe and report

 

Zach and Miri is a fun movie.

 

....Observe and Report is great

 

lol

 

observe and rape4laughs

 

jody hill’s best work is as the guitarist in the worship band in righteous gemstones

 

observe and report was terrible

 

still better than j*ker (yes, that's at least semi-relevant here)

 

Fuck this thread for reminding me that Sausage Party exists

 

it's my bad. i could've NOT used examples of which rogen films are top/mid/bottom tier but i had to be an overexplainer...
