Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

(2004)Directed by Brad Silberling108 min · PGAdventure, Comedy, Family
Mishaps. Misadventures. Mayhem. Oh joy.

The Baudelaire orphans lose their parents in a fire, and their fortune falls into the sights of a theatrical villain named Count Olaf (Jim Carrey). Violet (Emily Browning), Klaus (Liam Aiken), and their infant sister Sunny must outwit him across a series of guardians, each move more desperate than the last. Silberling stages the chaos in saturated colors and baroque sets, turning the children's flight into a race where every sanctuary crumbles.
