at first i do not like they way the director be constantly switch from the past ( gulliver travel ) to the present ( gulliver in the insane asylum ) . but it really be the best way to film the story even though it take some get use to . danson be outstanding a the title character and edward fox make a wonderful villain . bad part be mary steenburgen a gulliver wife . she never have be hollywood gorgeous and in this film they make her look downright dowdy for some reason . i will never understand why director make a woman ugly when it add nothing to the story . plus you want to strangle her for be so damn stupid in believe the lie bad guy bat keep tell her . even her son can see thru the bastard . still a good show and i rate it b plus .
