In a contemporary re–imagining of the classic tale, Jack Black stars as Gulliver, a big–talking mailroom clerk who, after he’s mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people. At first enslaved by the diminutive and industrious Liliputians, and later declared their hero, Gulliver comes to learn that it’s how big you are on the inside that counts.
EN 5 Second Review: It’s Jack Black as.. well, Jack Black, so it has something going for it. However, the script actually dumbs down a kids film though, which as you can imagine is tough to do. The result is decidedly mixed. Mildly amusing at best for adults.
