The over the top performances of the well-spoken Lilliputians, and even that of Jack Black, go a long way towards helping make the movie better, but sadly, they just couldn't save the material from itself.

Some films are phoned in. The staggeringly awful "Gulliver's Travels" was texted.

The pitch to remake this was probably four words: Gulliver's Travels Jack Black. No adjectives, no adverbs, and, most of all, no imagination. Fox took the bait, and this Christmas there's something smelling rotten under the tree.

While the film retains the satire of the original story, it goes too far with the pop culture references.

It's a product for undemanding children to consume, one they'll forget pretty quickly after leaving the theater.

Like its protagonist, Gulliver's Travels is big, dumb, and slow-moving, a lumbering oaf of a movie that just barely makes it to feature-length via a groaningly unnecessary production number set to Edwin Starr's "War."

This version of 'Gulliver's Travels' is strictly for the little people.

The film stumbles along a predictable path, and there is an audible wince when Gulliver says, "These little people have grown large in my heart."
