Review of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) by Kyle20Ellis — 13 Apr 2020
I liked this movie a lot. Technically, it is beautiful- lovely costumes and sets. The script is also good. Sunny, played by the Hoffmann twins, was what made the film. Everything she said made my whole family laugh.
It is perfect for adults and adolescents, but very young kids may find it a little frightening. Emily Browning and Liam Aiken are wonderful as Violet and Klaus. I particularly enjoyed seeing Timothy Spall, Billy Conolly and Meryl Streep light up our screens.
Jude Law provided the voice of Lemony Snicket perfectly. I have read the books, and have enjoyed them. However, the film does have a drawback. I was a little disappointed in Jim Carrey's performance. I imagined the character as sinister, and Carrey, being an entertaining actor, came across as rather silly.
In conclusion, despite that drawback, this is still a very enjoyable film.
