There is laziness at every turn -- in the writing, in the acting, in the filmmaking. Don't reward these yahoos.
Eric D. Snider, Film.com
Rotten
I will tell you there's a cast credit for a character described only as "Butt-crack man." Consider yourself warned.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
The film stumbles along a predictable path, and there is an audible wince when Gulliver says, "These little people have grown large in my heart."
Scott Craven, Arizona Republic
Rotten
Like its protagonist, Gulliver's Travels is big, dumb, and slow-moving, a lumbering oaf of a movie that just barely makes it to feature-length via a groaningly unnecessary production number set to Edwin Starr's "War."
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
