Black is the New BigGulliver's Travels (2010) is a comedy adventure movie set in the modern world although the storyline is based on the 18th-century novel of the same name.
Synopsis: Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) has a crush on Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet), a travel editor with the New York Tribune and sets out for the Bermuda Triangle to prove himself as a journalist and to win Darcy's heart.
During the journey, Gulliver's boat is caught in a magical waterspout and he finds himself on the the island of Lilliput, inhabited by little people called the Lilliputians. He soon befriends and gains the trust of Lilliputians, even guiding Horatio (Jason Segel) to woo Princess Mary (Emily Blunt), the woman of his dreams.
However, not everyone welcomes and likes Gulliver, especially General Edward (Chris O'Dowd) who downright resents Gulliver and wants him to leave Lilliput.
Well, nothing much to shout about this movie except for the numerous appearances of Star Wars, Titanic, and Avatar elements; and of course, the delightful special effects. Jack Black is being his usual comical self with funny liners and that's just about it. Some of the conversations between Gulliver and the little people are entertaining and hilarious; you will laugh along with them. So, if you do want some good laughs, you will enjoy watching this movie. :)
