- 83Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThis is what the holidays need: a good, Swift kick in the funny bone.
- 50USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigYet another foray into unnecessary 3-D, is a rehashed mishmash of Jonathan Swift's 18th-century classic. Mostly, it's a vehicle for Jack Black's zany humor.
- 40EmpireAnna SmithEmpireAnna SmithA low-grade comedy that'll have Jonathan Swift turning in his grave.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttWhile not the worst in recent 3D films, Gulliver's Travels is more gimmicky than a crackling good yarn.
- 38ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe only arena in which Gulliver's Travels plays an adequate game is in visual effects.
- 20Time OutDavid FearTime OutDavid FearThose of us who dig the comedian's hyperactive persona may feel that the meter is now officially running on his amiable rocker-doofus act; everyone else will simply marvel that a Christmas season could produce such an unfunny, unentertaining lump of coal.
- 0Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerChristian Science MonitorPeter RainerA movie of such stupendous uninspiration that, watching it, I didn't know whether to be affronted or hornswoggled. Movies this monumentally dreadful, after all, don't come along every day.
- 0Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternWall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThe 3-D is cheesy (2.2-D at best) the gags are gross (Gulliver urinates on an 18th-century palace to extinguish a fire) and the production abandons all hope of coherence when the hero fights a climactic battle with a giant robot out of "Transformers."
