LEMONY SNICKET'S A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS (2004) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Brad Silberling

Written by - Robert Gordon (based on the books by Lemony Snicket)

Starring - Jim Carrey

 

"Three orphaned children are delivered to the custody of their cousin and stage actor Count Olaf, who plots getting his hands on their parents’ fortune. Despite it being messy and stylistically overwhelming, the whole film is kept together by the wonderfully eccentric antics of Jim Carrey as the actor Count Olaf. The surprise big name cameos go a little unnoticed, but they are a charming addition."
