Gulliver's Travels (2010)
Based on the 18th century novel of the same name this is the first live action film from director Rob Letterman and stars Jack Black, Emily Blunt Jason Segel and Amanda Peet. A slacker that works in the mail room of a news paper gets a travel writing assignment and goes on a strange adventure.
This is not a good adaptation, it loses the depth and detail of the original text and is basically a simplified silly film aimed at kids but being a bad adaptation does not necessarily mean it is a bad film. As a kids film this is pretty average, the set, locations and cast are great but the content is decidedly average. There are some funny moments but but not a plethora and the the story itself is beyond basic and has no depth, still if you have 90 minutes to kill and do not want anything especially engaging you could do worse.
3/5
