THE STORYLINE:
In this remake of Jonathan Swift's classic novel, has Jack Black taking on the title role of Lemuel Gulliver, a mailroom clerk turned travel writer. He takes on a project in the Bermudas and suddenly find himself ends up in the hidden island of Liliput, home to a population of industrious yet tiny people, where he towers its tiny citizens as a big giant
BOX OFFICE FACTOR:
The team's ability to toy with the classic stroyline was taken to full advantage and delivered perfectly with fun visuals and amusing scriptwriting. Watch out for many pop culture references that are sure to produce laughs here and there
CUT! FACTOR:
We've seen enough of Jack's ass crack, big belly and air guitaring skills and we dont have to see more of this. It's numbing to watch the moderate imagination that comes with placing a big man among a shrunken society fade away in favor of gross out gags, pop culture references and a sing along finale more groan inducing the most
MY SAY:
There is nothing out of the ordinary about this movie but the vibrabt and colourful settings heartfelt story and youth friendly humour makes this film a fun family affair
My rating: 3/5
