Gulliver's Travels (2010 Rob Letterman)

Jack Black, Amanda Peet, Chris O'Dowd (good & showing real range), Emily Blunt (looks like she's often about to laugh, beautifully camp, great as always), Jason Segel (subdued), Billy Connolly, Catherine Tate, James Cordon.


When the 'Beast' sings "War. What is it good for?" to the squabbling peoples of Lilliput and Blefuscu, and everyone dances, Q turned to me and only then did she say "This is going a bit far isn't it?" If only that song worked like that in real life.

Joe Stillman and Nicholas Stoller are responsible for 'adapting' Jonathan Swift's novel (well, a bit of it).

We enjoyed it. You have to have a bit of nonsense now and then, and want it served with verve.

Contains the biggest product placements in any film ever.
