Sizing Up the "Gulliver's Travels" Trailer
Jack Black stars in the latest retelling of Jonathan Swift's classic satire about a regular guy who finds himself in a land inhabited by people about the size of a fingernail clipping. The film comes out Dec. 22.

Just hours after the first official poster began making the rounds, a trailer for "Gulliver's Travels" has arrived. The film stars Jack Black in all his mugging glory as a regular guy who winds up in a land where's he's a giant.
"Gulliver's Travels" is directed by Rob Letterman ("Monsters vs. Aliens," "Shark tale") making his live-action debut, and features an impressive supporting cast that includes Jason Segel, Emily Blunt and Amanda Peet.
Some thoughts on the clip:
- The line, "You're never gonna get any bigger than this," that's dropped on Gulliver is beyond grating. Let's hope there aren't too many more like it.
- Would someone please, please, please start giving Romany Malco bigger, better parts? He's one of the most inherently funny actors working today, why can't someone cast him appropriately?
- Kudos to Jack Black for rocking a Rucker Park T-shirt, it'll be lost on 99.9999 % of the audience, but still a nice touch.
- The clip finishes strong with what is probably the funniest Foosball bit in movie history -- if that means anything.
The film comes out Dec. 22.
