About this movie

Dear Viewer If you enjoy movies filled with singing rabbits, exploding spaceships, or cheerleaders, you are holding the wrong dvd entirely. This movie is extremely alarming, an expression which here means "a thrilling misadventure involving three ingenious orphans and a villionous actor named Count Olaf (Jim Carrey) who wants their enormous fortune." It includes a suspicious fire, delicious pasta, Jim Carrey, poorly behaved looches, Billy Connolly, an incredibly deadly viper, Meryl Streep, and the voice of an imposter named Jude Law. The only things that could make such a spectatcle more upsetting are special features, such a scommentary by me or outtakes involving nervous laughter. I am bound to continue my research into the lives of the Baudelelaire orphans, but you are free to seek lighter fare, like bleu cheese fondue. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket.

Ratings and reviews

After reading the book series, thid film adaptation has a relly strange pacing issue. I guess cause it's adapting 3 books into one movie, but I love Jim Carrey as Count Olaf and sone of the visuals are quite nice. But I recommened the books. Now it's time to watch thr Netflix series.

Jim Carrey....... This is the..... WORST FILM EVER! Why does this Lemony Snicket's want to steal there fortune but by..... LETTING OF A FIRE WITH A BABY! AND HAVE EXPLODING SPACESHIPS! Rubbish! R.u.b.b.i.s.h! Horrible!

Me and my sisters used to watch this film all the time when we were little and loved it! Now I have seen it here and am hoping to buy it. I totally recommend this for any age group.
