I have an idea! Lets turn some books from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events in to a movie with the same name!

A good movie, it also strayed from the series but I still liked it. It definately has it's moments. I was slightly disappointed that they never did a sequel.

MCT:September 27, 2008only reason to watch this is because of Jim Carrey! books are soo much bettershouldnt have combined them into one movie

The acting was excellent. I always had admiration for acting kids... They seem to be so adult already. Jim Carrey is also great as the Count Olaf; he actually scared me at some point. I also must mention the stunning visuals and direction. A great film for kids and even adults!

MCT:September 2, 2008Cuando a los hermanos Baudelaire, Klaus (Liam Aiken) y Violet (Emily Browning) se les muestra su próximo hogar, una derruida y obscura mansión habitada por el cariaguilucho Conde Olaf (un maquilladísimo Jim Carrey), alejada de todas las casas agradables, será evidente que nos estamos enfrentando a un mundo que parece concebido por Tim Burton, el maestro de las fantasías obscuras.
Lemony Snicket's, A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004), parece una mezcla de los mundos visuales creados para Beetle Juice (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990) y Sleepy Hollow (1999), todas ellas dirigidas por Burton, en una trama que parece también extraída de la mente de Charles Dickens (Oliver Twist), con todo y villano que les hace la vida imposible a los niños huérfanos. Al fin y al cabo, el director del filme, Brad Silberling, llamó a Rick Heinrichs, diseñador de producción de Sleepy Hollow, y al mexicano Emmanuel Lubezki fotógrafo de la misma película, quien repite esta vez muchas de las atmósferas obscuras en su trabajo para Tim Burton.
La presencia de los niños es agradable en pantalla, sus actuaciones son realmente buenas. Incluso, los efectos especiales son logrados, discretos y nada apabullantes, es decir, no roban protagonismo ni restan encanto a la historia. La escena de la destrucción de la casa de la paranoica tía Josephine (Meryl Streep) resulta impresionante, muy lograda por el suspenso que construye. En resumen, Lemony Snicket..., es un filme magnífico en su parte visual. Vaya, que también vale mucho la pena el corto animado del inicio, sobre unos duendes en el bosque, y las artesanales animaciones de los créditos finales. Si uno disfruta de estas sutilezas visuales, se quedará hasta el último crédito sin remedio.

Based of three books by Lemony Snicket from the series with the same name, "A Series of Unfortunate Events" tells the story of the three Baudelaire siblings, that after their parents dies in a big house fire are sent off to live with a distant relative named Count Olaf (Jim Carrey) who is really out after the Baudelaire family fortune. I haven't read the books so I can't compare, but the movie is a great family adventure, it has a good plot, characters and special effects (even the credits are great fun to look at). But I can't help to think that the movie could have been even better if it was darker and if Count Olaf was more sinister.

MCT:August 25, 2008Naturally, it was a brilliant film from the word "go". Because of Jim Carrey - my funniest actor! Carrey's full dinosaur impression in the outtakes of the DVD is absolutely HILARIOUS! One of the funniest film clips ever! Shelby - great! Even if she isn't old enough to even read this! God, this must be the longest film comment I've made... ... ... ... ;)

I really didn't think that 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' was going to be that good at all. In fact, I didn't know what to expect because I hadn't ever even read a book by Lemony Snicket. Although, I was pleasantly surprised with this film, it was decent. It's a film that is sure to entertain children, especially children who have read the book, which I have done since seeing the movie and now see how many similarities there are between the two. The dialogue seemed to not change at all and I thought that casting was pretty good too, Jim Carrey as Count Olaf seemed to work out pretty good and the kids' acting wasn't that bad either. Director Brad Silberling really did try to make it seem dark which he is good at doing and the whole movie kind of reminds you of a Tim Burton type of film.
I mean, I was very surprised at this film, I didn't know what to expect, and I wasn't really expecting anything, but that turned out pretty good, I'm glad I wasn't a little kid going in expecting the world in this movie, because then I probably would've been disappointed. -

A fotografia é belíssima, o filme é bom. mas eles realmente pecaram em transformar Olaf num comediante.

I must say, I found the ending quite abrupt, but nevertheless this is a great family film. About orphans trying to escape from the hands of cruel Count Olaf. I loved the books aswell.

Jim Carrey was pretty funny. I like it... the children were played by good people but I didn't even realize Meryl Streep was in it so she obviously didn't do very memorable acting.
-
MCT:August 3, 2008
Fantastic movie, with fantastic characters. I couldn't think of anyone better to play the count, Jim Carry did a fantastic job.
I couldn't help but laugh throughout this film. -
MCT:August 3, 2008
I wasn't annoyed at Jim Carry's performance, surprisingly. I also thought the movie was funny and cute.

Tal vez la adaptación no es la adecuada, pero la atmósfera que logra crear el director es excelente.
Y Jim Carrey, pues...supongo que no puede dejar de ser él.
Aún así considero que es una buena película.

This was a cool movie. Dark and melancholy, but a comedy thanx to Jim Carrey!
Do you think they'll make a movie for the next three books? I hope so, but they better get on the ball!posted 531 days ago -
Whoever said that Jim Carrey made it a comedy, they're right! It's supposed to be a comedy, even the book was a comedy. It was a tragic and satirical comedy.

hmm... ok first of all i loved the movie, most definatly one of my favorites, but i think that Jim Carrey was a miscast. Jim Carrey made the movie more of comedy. He's one of my favorite actors, but i don't think he was the right actor for this role.It's still one of my favorite movies, though.
