So yesterday we went to watch Gulliver's Travels..Starring the infamous Jack Black and Amanda Peet (not so hot though). This is an adaptation from the book written by an Anglo-Irish clergyman named Jonathan Swift (in Smarter than a 5th Grader, a question came out who is the author).
What's the story about? You mean book or movie? Well, since this is a review for the movie..I start with that. Gulliver (Jack Black) works in New York Tribune inside the mail room. He has a crush to the editor for travel section Darcy (Amanda Peet). Then one day he had to lie to Darcy on how he used to travel to places and she requested him to write review samples whereby he conduct the act of plagiarism.
Next, Gulliver was assigned to do a review on travelling on a boat alone to the Bermuda Islands. During the boat travel he was sucked away into a whirl pool sort like tornado thingy and stranded into an island called Liliput. Liliput is an island where the people are 1 inch tall. So the adventures starts there. To understand more about the story please read the book written by Swift or go get yourself a DVD.
The movie was a comedy. It was fun, funny and exciting. It is a simple movie where you don't need to think hard on the ending. It is a good way to entertain yourself on a weekday afternoon. The CGI is great. The script is good and last but not least there is always jack Black singing in his movies. There you go then. It is watchable.
I rate it...4 POPCORNS..enough right?
