There arnt many things in life i would call horrid. But once in a while comes a peace of garbage that is so foul I feel dirty on the inside for watching it. This peace of garbage has a name: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Indeed the movie does contain an "Unfortunate" event it just happens to be the whole movie.
How can they take such a great even amazing actor as Jim Cary and lower him to the level that is this movie. This movie wouldnt have been half bad if it had a direction, a plot, and perhaps more humor. But the whole movie seemed to be lost in itself. The whole movie starts of with a rather confusing twist a dancing elf (you may ask yourself just like i did "why?"). Then the movie takes its true form (garbage). It continues very darkly and its rather vague on how and why most of the events happen in the movie the way they do. This leaves the viewer rather confused and annoyed. If you stay in the theater expecting the movie to imporve and hoping you didnt waste your money or an evening your wrong! it continues to be rather confusing and as the title states "unfortunate".
After watching this movie i felt rather dirty. A feeling of none fufilment ensued shortly after. This was unsatisfying and even worse and less thrilling then many idiotic action movies that were made by the ton during the 90's and 80's. So please do heed my advice and dont watch this movie.

this is a horrid movie please do yourself a favor and dont watch this.

perhaps but this was garbage in its true form the only reason to go watch this would be for the semi hot lead girl and the rather entertaining baby (the only amusing words that come out of that movie are the babys and they arnt even words).

O god ya the books are amazing. a great feat indeed. too bad the movie screwed the entire book seriese up by ending them after the third event (and thier currently about 9 book of this 13 book seriese). whoever made the movie was an idiot who thought wede all love it for its great visuality.

I stopped reading after the word "Lemony".

I despise that movie for dragging Jim Carrey down with it.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I read the first like 4 or 5, but then it got sicknen cause it's the same plot. Just different places, times, and Olaf dresses up different. I didn't bother wasting money and time to watch the movie. I knew it was gonna be -blam!-.

Lets put it this way, I've seen at least five Jim Carey movies, and out of them in only one does he not completely overact and act like a moron. That one being the Truman Show. I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine, but on the whole, if he acts anything like he does in the Mask, Ace Ventura 1 & 2, Me myself and Irene, or Dumb and Dumber I know I'll spend the entire length of the film feeling ill and slightly misanthropic.

Jim Cary is the only actor in Hollywood that will make an ass (as in Donkey...Demacrat) out of himself for these movie roles. His name sells too. That's why he keeps getting movies.

Jim is awosme and belive me i think this movie needs to burn in hell if it hasnt already. There arnt enough words in my mind or the damn dictionary to explain how horribly bad this movie is i want to burn it stomp on it and only keep it to use as a torture device thats the only thing that it would be good for.

Jim Carey is an amazing actor and a hillarious comedian. people that hate him tend not to have a big sence of humour.

Come on people! Jim Carrey play the same character in almost all his movies. He's good but he gets on my nerves. Hes good but hes not the greatest ever. No one is.
