Rather than serve as a modern-day adaptation of the classic
Gulliver's Travels novel or a prequel to a
2010 "comedy" that cost Emily Blunt the chance to be Black Widow, Sullivan's Travels is actually an original story written and directed by Preston Sturges. Like that classic novel though, it is a yarn that spans all kinds of different adventures and takes one man on an extensive journey that reshapes his whole life. This means those looking for only a movie featuring miniature humans will be gravely disappointed. For everyone else, the satisfying comedy and dynamite lead performances of Sullivan's Travels will more than suffice!
