Gulliver's Travels -- Film Review

1:32 PM PST 12/22/2010 by Kirk Honeycutt

Increasingly, studios are slapping 3D on movies not to add entertainment value but to conceal a lack of dimension in a movie's story or characters. While not the worst in recent 3D films, "Gulliver's Travels" is more gimmicky than a crackling good yarn.

The film feels rushed and slight at every point. Thanks to inspired clowning by Jack Black and a solid cast that breathes life into an inert story, the movie works as a moderately entertaining children's movie. Opening domestically on Christmas Day, Gulliver's Travels should enjoy a brief burst of box-office activity.
