Gulliver's Travels

Starring: Jack Black, Jason Segel, Amanda Peet, Emily Blunt, Billy Connolly, Catherine Tate, Chris O'Dowd
Genre: Comedy

Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) lies to impress his work crush, Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet), so she sends him to the Bermuda Triangle to write a travel story. There's a big storm, magic happens, and he's instead transported to Lilliput, land of the little people! This Jack Black comedy was quite enjoyable, with enough laughs to keep me entertained. Also, I got to see his arse-crack, so that was a plus. Look out for Black reciting Prince song lyrics while helping Horatio (Jason Segel) woo Princess Mary (Emily Blunt). "Think I better DANCE now"!

Catherine Tate is unfortunately wasted in a tiny role as Queen Isabelle. This woman is a real talent and hilarious in The Catherine Tate Show and Doctor Who. Billy Connolly also has quite a small role as her husband, King Benjamin, the ruler of Lilliput.

Chris O'Dowd (Roy from TV series The IT Crowd) is deliciously over-the-top as General Edward. I LOVED his performance. Probably because I'm a huge The IT Crowd fan, and this is the first time I've seen him an another role.

I can't believe Jack Black's performance in Gulliver's Travels earned him a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor (which he lost to Ashton Kutcher's performances in Killers and Valentine's Day). {I just read this from Wikipedia}. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, JACK BLACK!!
