About a mailman or something (Jack Black) who gets to travel to the bermuda Triangle..and finds this island with little people living on it..it was a pretty cute movie, i loved the characters.. since emily Blunt and Jason Segel was also there.. Just a light movie, wished they showed more of the giant's island.

My mother read the book Gulliver's Travels to me when I was a child. What a tale! It was made into a movie in the 90's too with Ted Danson in it and his wife. I don't really care for Black and his type of humor. Sounds like this one was cute and entertaining. That is always good.

Yeah, it was a fun watch...i did hear about the book-from my friends, but i never read it. Maybe i will even check out the 90s version, maybe it is better and they stuck closer to the book.

The tv version with Ted Danson is closer to the book.

I have heard of this, not a huge fan of Jack black though.. i don't really find him that funny. But i do prefer him than Jim Carrey, at least he is not over the top all the time. It is an interesting story, but i don't think it would be great as a comedy.

I like both jack Black and Jim Carrey, i have sen more of Carrey's films though.. And i do agree that he can be over the top sometimes that it is awkward, but he definitely does know how to make people laugh. He has a few really good films too.

It was probably cut and edited out to save time on the movie. I loved the movie and also wish they would have explored more of the islands.. and the love interest.

Yeah, it could be.. since a movie usually has lots of parts edited out of it... to meet the rating they want or some other reasons. I do love watching some deleted scenes, some of them are quite good ones.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are absolutely right, although i have never watched this movie but i have heard about the beauty of work and script depicted in this movie. i do remember that as a child i had read this story and was moved by its content and had wished then to watch it made as a movie and i would definitely like to watch it after u have described that it has been depicted very well. What say?
