In a contemporary re-imagining of the classic tale, Gulliver is a big-talking mailroom clerk who, after he's mistakenly assigned a travel piece on the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of very tiny people.  At first enslaved by the Lilliputians, and later declared their hero, Gulliver learns that it's how big you are on the inside that counts.

Saw a little interview clip of Jack Black, and he claimed he *had*. Said that the humor actually holds up centuries later, compared to original films from 10-20 years ago that are now forgotten pieces of crap.

And yet, for some reason, this movie, like I think all Gulliver adaptations, won't have anything other than Lilliputians.

I can believe that, actually. He gives me the impression of being smarter than most of the movies he's in, if that makes sense.

I thought most did Lilliputians and Brobdingnag and dumped the rest. Although the Ted Danson version also did Houyhnhnms.
