Synopsis

Travel writer Lemuel Gulliver takes an assignment in Bermuda, but ends up on the island of Liliput, where he towers over its tiny citizens.

Director

Original

Rob Letterman

Rob Letterman is an American film director who started with animation and moved on to live-action.

Before Letterman’s filmic subjects took him into outer space with Monsters vs. Aliens (2009), he was taken underwater, having co-directed and co-written DreamWorks Animation’s 2004 Academy Award-nominated hit comedy Shark Tale, starring Will Smith, Renée Zellweger, Angelina Jolie and Jack Black. His writing efforts on the film also netted him an Annie nomination.

Prior to Letterman’s joining DreamWorks Animation, he directed the short film Los Gringos, which was accepted at 2000’s Sundance Film Festival.

In 2010 Letterman directed the live-action film Gulliver’s Travels, starring Jack Black in the lead role.

Letterman was born in Hawaii and attended Mid-Pacific Institute and the USC. —Wikipedia

It could've been worse if it wasn't the Tenacious D guy playing Gulliver, but this parody of Gulliver's Travels is more Jack Black than substance.

I know who to point the finger at who's responsible for this and he's additionally responsible for the negative aspects of "Shark Tale" and "Monsters vs. Aliens". Have him direct something solo and you get this disaster. Avoid it like your mom's stale tofu cake.
