Gullivers Travels

Gulliver's Travels is a live-action family-comedy adventure film directed by Rob Letterman and very loosely based on the 18th-century novel of the same name by Jonathan Swift, though the film takes place in the modern era. The film stars Jack Black, Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Billy Connolly, Catherine Tate and Amanda Peet as Darcy Silver and is distributed by 20th Century Fox.



Plot:
Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) is presented as the boss of a newcomer named Dan (T.J. Miller), but Dan gets promoted and is now Gulliver's new boss. Deeply depressed at his dead-end job in the mail room, Gulliver decides to talk to journalist Darcy Silverman (Amanda Peet). He convinces her he could write a report about his (false) extensive world "travels" saying his dream is to become a writer. After suffering writer's block, he plagiarises a report from other publications on the Internet. The next day, Darcy, impressed by his writing, presents Gulliver with a new task – to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and write an article confirming that the legend of ships mysteriously disappearing in the area being caused by extraterrestrials is not true...
