The Pickle Recipe 2016


     Joey Miller is a popular MC for weddings plus Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.  He lives in Detroit city and he’s a single father deeply in debt financially.  He’s planning on doing the Bat Mitzvah for his daughter Julie and the date will be soon.   There is a fire at his latest wedding gig and the fire destroys his all of his equipment.  Joey contacts his shady Uncle Morty to see if he has any money?  Morty gives Joey the idea of stealing Joey's grandmother Rose’s prized and secret dill pickle recipe.  Rose runs a deli/café and her pickles are the draw for the customers.  No one can make a better dill pickle than Rose!!  She doesn’t even allow anyone to watch her during her pickle making process.
     There are a lot of the same events repeated in this film?  A lot of effort is put into schemes that will not result in getting the pickle recipe.   I don’t see how Joey and Morty can justify their sleaziness and their behavior since Rose is a cherished relative?  If Rose wanted any family members to have the recipe, she would give them the recipe personally!!  2 ½* (This movie is so-so) 

97 min, Comedy directed by Michael Manasseri with Jon Dore, Lynn Cohen, Miriam Lee, David Paymer, Eric Edelstein, Taylor Groothuis.

Note:  Imdb 7. 6 out of 10, 36% critic 95% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic 39 out of 100 with 5 critics, Amazon Video 3* out of 5* with 10 reviews.
