I thought this would be a good flick, since I liked the original 'Gulliver's Travels' story and idea itself and I thought that a modern-day twist on this classic would turn out to be a good movie. So I was surprised to see the ratings that it had at IMDb. But after being one of this movie's viewers, I can say that this is one of the few IMDb movie ratings that are actually pretty accurate.
After watching this movie, I realized that the trailer of the movie actually gave pretty much everything away. It was like the 'Charlie St. Cloud' movie trailer! You can actually just watch the trailer and understand what the whole movie's about.
The actors weren't the main problem here. I thought Jack Black and Jason Segal were pretty average (or maybe I'm just biased since I actually like their other works). I don't get why they accepted roles for this poor excuse for a movie. The writing was terrible. I mean, the script was just bad. It was so poorly written. Many parts made no sense and seemed like they were just put in for some comic relief, but failed.
Do not watch this movie. I'm glad I didn't catch it in theaters. But even with the DVD viewing, I still felt cheated. If you've seen the trailer, don't bother wasting your time with the real thing.
