"When we too are armed and trained, we can convince men that we have hands, feet, and a heart like yours; and although we may be delicate and soft, some men who are delicate are also strong; and others, coarse and harsh, are cowards. Women have not yet realized this, for if they should decide to do so, they would be able to fight you until death; and to prove that I speak the truth, amongst so many women, I will be the first to act, setting an example for them to follow." —Veronica Franco (1546-1591)

Jonathan Swift’s infamous story gets a modern day treatment in this new telling of the tale. However, if you’re expecting anything like the original book, you may be more than a little disappointed as this new version gives the story a complete makeover not only in the time period in which it’s set, but also in plot and characters.
Set in modern day, the story begins in Manhattan where Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) works in the mail room of a publication. He has a serious crush on one of the editors, Darcy (Amanda Peet), but lacks the courage to tell her how he feels, nor does he have much ambition to move up from his current position. In one of his attempts to ask her out, he finds himself stuck in the position of applying for a writer’s position that involves travel, and after plagiarizing a sample, Darcy sends him to the Bermuda Triangle for his first official assignment.
