Gulliver's Travels (2010) is a modern comedic twist on Jonathan Swift’s classic tale, starring Jack Black as Lemuel Gulliver, a mailroom worker with big dreams but little ambition. Seeking a chance to impress a co-worker and escape his mundane life, Gulliver takes an assignment that lands him in the mysterious and fantastical land of Lilliput. There, he towers over the miniature inhabitants and quickly becomes a larger-than-life hero—both literally and figuratively. The film reimagines the iconic story with slapstick humor, pop culture references, and a heartwarming message about self-worth and honesty.
While it strays significantly from the satirical tone of Swift's original novel, the 2010 adaptation of Gulliver's Travels delivers family-friendly fun and lighthearted adventure. Jack Black’s signature comedic style brings a goofy charm to Gulliver’s misadventures, from leading Lilliputians in battle to confronting his own flaws. The film is ultimately about personal growth—how the biggest changes come from within, no matter how small or large you may appear to others. Its blend of visual effects, humor, and uplifting moments makes it an accessible introduction to a literary classic for younger audiences.
