Awesome review by Colin Covert of Gulliver’s Travels in the Star Tribune today.

“Some films are phoned in. The staggeringly awful ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ was texted.”

“The only upside of this bomb’s release would be if Jonathan Swift clawed his way from the grave and wreaked ghastly zombie revenge on those responsible.”

“The guiding principle is that Black’s tired man-child shtick will be fresh and new if he looks 90 feet tall.”

“A wandering mind isn’t just inevitable in a movie like this, it’s a matter of self-defense. Instead of prohibiting unauthorized cell phone use, the ushers for ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ should confiscate viewers’ belts and shoelaces.”

ABOUT THIS MOVIE

This is an awesome review.

Oh my gosh, I remember this so vividly from my childhood. I’ve gotta find the rest of this Christmas special.

Nations that long in darkness walked
Have now beheld a glorious light;
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light hath shined heav’nly bright.

For lo! the virgin’s Child is born;
To us the Son of God is giv’n.
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The government of earth and Heav’n.

His Name is called Wonderful,
The Counselor, the mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace,
Peace dearly purchased with His blood.

His government shall know no bounds,
But far and wide o’er all extend;
And happy peace, the glorious fruits
Of His just reign, shall know no end.

O’er David’s kingdom, on His throne
To rule, and ’stablish it secure
With judgment clear, and justice right;
His reign forever shall endure.
