Plot: The best-selling series of subversive children's books from author Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) come to the screen in this black comedy for the whole family (and how often do you get to see one of those?). The Baudelaire siblings -- gadget freak Violet (Emily Browning), bookworm Klaus (Liam Aiken), and baby Sunny (Kara Hoffman and Shelby Hoffman) -- were living a fairy-tale existence with their parents until they died in a fire that destroyed the family home. With few close relatives and a large fortune the children won't inherit until they reach adulthood, the Baudelaire children are left in the care of the peculiar Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), an out-of-work actor who would love nothing more than to get his hands on the kids' money. It doesn't take long for the children to figure out that Count Olaf is up to no good, and they try to steer clear of his various murderous schemes with the help of wildly paranoid Aunt Josephine (Meryl Streep) and snake-fancying Uncle Monty (Billy Connolly). Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events also features Catherine O'Hara, Timothy Spall, Cedric the Entertainer, and Luis Guzman; Jude Law narrates in the guise of author Snicket. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Not Good
Added 9/11/2009

from reading the other reviews it seams like alot of people based this off of the books. I have never read the books so I have nothing to go by . I bought this movie because of Jim Carrey and because I love all of his movies. I watched this movie one time and thought it was horrible , I think it took me around 3 days to acually get through it because it was so bad I had to keep turning it off. out of almost 500 movies that I own I only have a dozen or so movies that I hated so bad that I put in a pile to get rid of , this movie went in that pile. after having the movie in that pile for many months , I kinda forgot how the movie was and decided to watch it again before getting rid of it . the second time I watched it I liked it alot better than the first time but still didn't think it was a very good movie however now I'm depating on if I should keep it or get rid of it . I see now that it's one of those movies that i have to watch more than once in order to watch it without falling asleep. there are so many scenes that drug on and it's not funny at all but maybe it is worth keeping now since I already own it . I would NEVER have bought this movie if I knew it was this bad.

Good interpretation!!
Added 7/21/2009

I really enjoyed this movie after reading the books!! The movie follows closely to books, which is always a good thing. Jim Carrey is so funny in this movie!! The children acting in it are also pretty good. I love the costumes, too- especially Violet's!!! :) The ending was well done. However, the special features are seriously lacking. But other than that, this movie is great!!!!!
