Not exactly a film adaptation of the original classic story but rather a modernized pseudo-classical reimagination of the O.G. Gulliver's Travels wherein Gulliver works in the mailroom of some sort of corporation, ends up going on an assignment for some reason that defies logic (because your company's mailman always gets the important assignments, right?), and ends up in a tiny fantasy kingdom where people in blue are in the midst of a perpetual war with people in red. The film has it's funny moments mainly because it tries to inject pop culture references, present day puns, and jokes into the story. For instance, Gulliver is a slacker who plays Rockband, listens to KISS, and loves Star Wars and these references play heavily into some of the scenes of the film. Nevertheless, it's a family friendly comedy of sorts that is a bit longer than I'd like but still overall a pretty funny film that kids and adults alike will enjoy. Jack Black, as usual, is funny, awkward, and over the top but that's why we love him.
