Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Gulliver's Travels is about as marginal as the trailers suggest; it's a tepidly entertaining, irreverent, and sometimes crass comedy starring Jack Black that takes some gigantic liberties with Jonathan Swift's classic story about the land of Lilliput and its tiny inhabitants. Mailroom loser Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) is stuck in a dead-end job and living a dead-end life until the promotion of a fellow employee spurs him to speak up and take action. While a trip to the Bermuda Triangle may not be the date with crush Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet) that Gulliver had envisioned, the voyage promises to take his career in a new direction, and it eventually delivers him to a kingdom known as Lilliput, which is populated by miniature people. After initially being captured and locked away in a dungeon, Gulliver wins the hearts of the Lilliputian people by saving their princess (Emily Blunt) from being kidnapped and rescuing their king (Billy Connolly) from a fire in a most unorthodox and unsavory way, and he quickly finds himself in a position of gigantic influence. Problem is, Gulliver is completely unprepared and unqualified for his new leadership roles, both on the personal and professional levels, and his ineptitude puts himself and all of Lilliput in extreme danger. Grade-school humor abounds in this fairly mindless film, something Jack Black always excels at, but viewers will find that the chuckles and the message about the power of believing in oneself fade equally as fast as the credits roll. (Ages 9 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Product Description

Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda, School of Rock) is larger than life in this epic comedy-adventure based on the classic tale. When a shipwreck lands a lowly mailroom clerk named Gulliver (Black) on the fantastical island of Lilliput, he transforms into a giant - in size and ego! Gulliver's tall tales and heroic deeds win the hearts of the tiny Lilliputians, but when he loses it all and puts his newfound friends in peril, Gulliver must find a way to undo the damage. Through it all, Gulliver may just learn that it's how big you are on the inside that counts.

***This review may contain spoilers***

First of all, in response to Swiftian purists who were disappointed that Jack Black's version of "Gulliver's Travels" (hereafter GT) was not strictly faithful to Swift's ageless satire, I say, are you hopelessly naive? In spite of its fantastic locales and characters, GT really doesn't lend itself to cinematic treatment because of its episodic structure and laceratingly pessimistic satire of human nature. As Hallmark proved, GT is more suited to a mini-series approach, and while, I believe, Hallmark's GT (starring Ted Danson as Lemuel Gulliver) is the best (and probably the only) faithful adaptation of Swift's satire we will ever witness, even it had a contrived upbeat ending antithetical to Swift's themes. As movies go, I think a somewhat whimsical (albeit somewhat superficial) fairy-tale approach is the best way to deal with GT. Just about every GT movie version (animated or live action) does so, and I have enjoyed them all. That goes for Jack Black's "GT" too, which is about on a par with the others.

(PLOT DESCRIPTION: Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black), a boisterous, but surprisingly shy, mail-room clerk for a New York travel company, can't seem to advance professionally or romantically. He has harbored a 5-year crush on Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet) without acting on it. Gathering his courage one more time to ask Darcy out, he loses his nerve and instead pretends to be a noted travel writer looking for a better job. After Gulliver fabricates a plagiarized travel article on Mexico, Darcy gives him a Bermuda Triangle assignment. Gulliver goes to Burmuda, charters a sailboat, gets sucked into a watery maelstrom, and finds himself bound on the ground in Lilliput, a miniature kingdom of doll-sized people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny harmless movie! May 28, 2011
Format:DVD
Wow, it's a good thing we rented this through Redbox before reading the reviews here... I don't generally write reviews, but feel I have to help restore the balance. All of my family (40+ mum & dad, 4 kids ages 4 to 11) thought Gulliver's Travels was a good, funny movie. Yes, the 'peeing on the castle' could be seen as gross, but there was no flesh shown, so to my thinking, no harm done. *shrug* Must be a lot of wowsers out there...

So, to paraphrase the Review guide - "What would I have wanted to know before I watched it?"... That kids from 4 to 11 are likely to love it, and laugh-out-loud several times. That parents will smile and laugh too. That there's the typical 'moral lesson' in the story, but it's not heavy. It may not make your all-time-favourite-movies list, but nothing outrageous here.

And yes, I'm buying it now so we can all watch it again and again...

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, fun, and Jack freaking black. April 30, 2011
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked it. I'm a Jack Black fan and he delivers again. This is marketed as a kid's movie, so I'm not sure what all the nay-sayers are complaining about. Take a chill pill, pull the critic out of your arse, and Enjoy a funny, feel good movie!
A+

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time. April 22, 2011
Format:Blu-ray
I was given a free ticket to this movie and a $5 giftcard to return to the theater another time. At the end of the movie, despite liking the supporting cast of the movie in other things, I wished I could have returned the ticket and the giftcard and rolled back the clock. This is a bad movie. It is puerile and not even funny in its childishness. Spend money on other things. More to the point- spend time on other things.
I've really want to support the 3D bluray industry, but cannot find it in me to contemplate owning this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible HORRIBLE movie April 20, 2011
Format:DVD
I only got through 30 minutes of this before I had to shut it off. It was freaking awful. The acting was so wooden that it was painful to watch. I like Jack Black but this was just a horrid film.

1.0 out of 5 stars trickle down theory April 21, 2011
Format:DVD
I haven't seen this movie yet,
but I just want to add, FYI the voiding his bladder to put out the fire scene is actually straight from Johnathan Swift's book.

The Empress's rooms at the palace are on fire.
Luckily, Gulliver had had a lot of wine the night before and had not yet peed any of it, so he has plenty to use to put out the fire at the palace. Thanks to his quick thinking and huge bladder, Gulliver saves the palace from destruction.
Unfortunately, the Empress is not too pleased with Gulliver's method of putting out the fire - i.e., by peeing on it - so she's horribly offended and refuses to see that part of the palace repaired

4.0 out of 5 stars Gulliver's Twist February 8, 2011
Format:DVD
This latest movie on Gulliver's Travels, which is based on a novel written by Jonathan Swift, an Irish writer and clergyman in the early 1700s, has a new twist to it and is set in more contemporary times.

While the original book had several aspects to it, as listed below:

[1] Adventure at rival countries of Lilliput and Blefuscu.
[2] Adventure at Brobdingnag.
[3] The Flying Island - Laputa
[4] Empress Muodi's Estate
[5] Glubbdubdrib - the magician's dwelling
[6] Struldburgs - immortals with blindness
[7] Houyhnhnms / Yahoos

This film only touches on the first, and a bit of the second adventure aspects of the novel.

However, it is still a delightful PG-rated movie. Rather than just being a storm that causes Gulliver's adventures, the Bermuda Triangle is brought into the mix, which is pretty cool.

Also this film has some charming romantic aspects to it, firstly between Gulliver (Jack Black) and his co-worker Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet) and secondly on a smaller scale, between Horatio (Jason Segel) and Princess Mary (Emily Blunt).

A lot has been thrown into the pot in making this movie, and these elements make the movie unusual and enjoyable. For the main battle, the army of Blefuscu, with the help of General Edward (Chris O'Dowd) of Lilliput, constructs a massive robot, that has some 'transformer' type capabilities to fight Gulliver. This was quite imaginative of the writers. Also throughout the movie, Guilliver 'pirates' ideas from other movies, and this also lends itself to some humor.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like Jack Black but. . .
I think this movie is worth watching just for Chris O'Dowd alone. His portrayal of General Edward is just so fantastic.

To me, this was not a movie for Jack Black. It was OK. I think for Jack's manner of acting- his facial expressions, his choice of words, his frivolity, etc., were over-done. Read more

Black was funny in S of R, but he keeps using the same lines in all his movies and this movie is the worst offender of repeat, rehashed lines.
