Gulliver's Travels (2010 Rob Letterman)

Previously viewed in 2013, there are worse ways to spend an hour and a half, and considerably better ways too. It's in the median.

It's a very silly treatment, written by children (with an eye on product placement) and doesn't even bother to reference Swift (he would have been annoyed if they had, I'm told).

Jack Black is (Q remarked) rather unique in the way he prances about and bursts into song - sometimes his laid back performances are better (The Holiday, Margot at the Wedding).

Emily Blunt and Chris O'Dowd though are delightful (despite the fact she allegedly didn't want to participate but was obliged to for contractual reasons). She has a good humorous / defiant look.
