Gulliver's Travels

After a pudgy, veteran Manhattan mailroom employee (Jack Black), who has a crush on a travel editor (Amanda Peet) at the New York Tribune, is sent to Bermuda to write a travel piece in this silly, family-friendly, intermittently funny comedy, which is based on the 18th-century classic by Jonathan Swift, he ends up on the island of Lilliput in the Bermuda Triangle where he towers over its people and is eventually befriended by a strapping prisoner (Jason Segel), who is in love with the beautiful princess (Emily Blunt), and the benevolent king (Billy Connolly) when he saves the ruler from a raging fire and helps the people defend themselves against an evading army led by a jealous military officer (Chris O'Dowd) who has joined the enemy.
