Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events

[Champion of Europa]

I wasn't too interested in this movie when I heard about it, but the more trailers I see for it the more interested I am. It seems like it'll be a bit more unique than the average children's movie. It seems darker.

What are your views on the movie?

[DaveWadding]

should be good.

[YOUR Hero]

I think I'll rent it two years from now.

[OssMan]

I didn't like the books at all, they became "mainstream" I guess. the girl in that movie is pretty cute though. I dunno I might see it.

[Funky Fly]

I will probably see it in Canada.

[Boondock Saint]

Gonna see it.

[Shaggy]

Didnt care for it when I first saw the trailers....then I thought I would give it a shot just because Jim Carrey is in it. Now the trailers have all caught me in and I want to see it just to see it.

There will be more than one Lemony Snicket movie because if I remember what I heard correctly...this one is based on books 1-2 and 3 of the series. And I believe they said that there were 7 books right now and in the end there would be 9

Is the author actually named Lemony Snicket or is that Carrey's character?

[el fregadero]

That's not Carrey's name in the movie, but there is no way it's the author's name.

[Azriel]

Thats the author's penname. I'm a Carrey fan, so I'll definitely try to see this. The whole thing seems like Roald Dahl for the twenty-first century.

[Loose Cannon]

The author is fucking hillarious. He was on a local radio station in NC one day on "The Zone" and he cracked me up.

Good flick.

It's definitely not a "kid's movie," even though it's sort of being promoted as such. It's really dark and there are a couple of scenes that would have filled my diapers as a child.

Jim Carrey is fantastic, and the kids all do a really good job. The baby steals the movie, imo.

[VJW]

Looks good. I've read 1-9 since I got more than a little tired since the same fucking thing happens again and again.

They get away

That main chick in it is from Melbourne. :cool:

[Lara Emily]

It's hit and miss, disjointed and frusterating to watch at times. It's a movie that tries to be a kids movie in style and writing but in theme and reality is unsuitable.

Yeah, those are pritty much my thoughts on it.I saw it on Christmas night with my little girl cousin, my sister, and my uncle, and my little cousin kept getting scared and latching onto my arm. It was so cute.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I saw it. It was awful.
