Review: The story about a guy who unintentionally traveled into a world of little people called Liliput. Here, Gulliver discovered that these people think differently about him than back at where he came from. Back in Mahanttan, Gulliver worked in a mailroom in a writing company and no one knows he exists, which is really typical for a movie like this. He had a long time crush on this girl who writes traveling articles. One day, he walked into her office ready to ask her out and predictably grabbed a packet for a traveling article which requires him to go to sea instead. While driving a boat to the destination, Gulliver fell asleep and went off course into a dangerous spinoff. Astonishingly, Gulliver came out alive but was tied up by the little humans by the time he came to. The little humans thought he was an enemy at first, but by the time the movies middle appear, youd already guessed the ending.

Jack Black did exactly what he was supposed to do, entertain the audience no matter what it takes. But the movie cannot depend on Jack Black to carry it, it needs a better story and a good, surprising ending. In my opinion, with all of Jack Blacks childish humor and fine special effects, the film was able to get some laughs out of me. Jack Black has got a charm with him every time he gives a performance so that was enough for the film to pass the half way mark. Even though the film somewhat entertained me, Gullivers Travels did not do justice to its source materials and was too predictable that even little kids can figure it out.
