Released: April 19, 2011

Running Time: 85 minutes

ABOUT:

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.

GULLIVER’S TRAVELS also stars Jason Segel (I Love You, Man), Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada), Amanda Peet (Something’s Gotta Give) and Chris O’Dowd (Dinner for Schmucks).

Features:

Follow Gulliver on his adventure with the Free Lilliput Guidebook, which contains fun facts, tips and visuals ultimately preparing tiny travelers to immerse themselves into the rich Lilliput culture.

You can also play some Gulliver-themed games at Gulliver’s Games!

MY THOUGHTS:

First off I love Jack Black, so I may be a little bias about this movie!  “Gulliver’s Travels” is about a man named Gulliver (Jack Black) who works in the mailroom and is happy!  He has a crush on a woman at the office building and he tells her he is basically a travel expert in order to impress her.  So she sends him on a travel assignment to the Bermuda Triangle and Gulliver ends up on the island of Lilliput as an giant!  He teaches them all about our times – Star Wars and other great movies, New York City, and more!  It is so cool to see what the little people build too!  Then at some point too there is a giant girl even  bigger than him that puts him in a dollhouse as a doll.  The movie is funny and quick, just about an hour and a half.  It is definitely a movie I’d watch again and my husband and I really liked it.  It is a great movie for all ages, and I can’t remember there being anything inappropriate it to worry about.
