Gulliver's Travels (2010) obliterates Jonathan Swift's intricate 18th-century satire, replacing political commentary with urination jokes and Guitar Hero references. Rob Letterman's Jack Black vehicle reduces a literary masterpiece to a juvenile comedy about a mailroom clerk who becomes a giant, stripping every ounce of intellectual heft from the source material. It earned just $43 million worldwide, which is 58% less than the average family comedy of 2010 and significantly less than #5 The Bonfire of the Vanities' higher budget for comparable failure.
