Gulliver’s Travel

Plots: Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda but ends up on the island of Lilliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens. Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) has been working in the mail room of a New York daily newspaper for the past ten years. Afraid to put himself out there, he considers himself a loser, as do all of his peers. One day, after having finally had enough, he decides to declare his love to the beautiful Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet), the newspaper’s travel editor and one of Gulliver’s only friends, only to chicken out at the last minute and instead tell her that he’d like to try his hand at writing a column. Darcy accepts and sends him on an assignment to the Bermuda Triangle. There, Gulliver becomes shipwrecked and ends up on the island of Liliput, where he is twelve times taller than the tallest man. For the first time, Gulliver has people looking up to him. Tired of treading water for the past ten years working in the mailroom of a New York newspaper, Lemuel Gulliver summons up the courage to travel to the Bermuda Triangle to impress the beautiful editor, Darcy Silverman. Instead, Lemuel ends up on the sandy beaches of the mysterious island nation of Lilliput: the isolated land of tiny people. However, as Gulliver gets to live out his fantasies, an embittered minuscule rival emerges from the warring neighbouring island of Blefuscu. Can Lemuel, the friendly giant, save the day?
