Hi guys! Have you watched this movie of Jim Carey?... Well, this is a nice movie... It was originally written by Lemony Snicket....
 
here's the summary from IMDB:
Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire are three intelligent young children who receive terrible news that their parents have died in a fire and have left them an enormous fortune not to be used until the eldest child is of age. When they are sent to live with Count Olaf, a greedy distant relative, they soon learn he is trying to steal their fortune for himself.
This is the story of the Bauedelaires, three young orphans, Violet (Browning), Klaus (Aiken) and Sunny, looking for a new home, who are taken in by a series of odd relatives and other people, including Lemony Snicket, who narrates the film, and starting with the cunning and dastardly Count Olaf (Carrey), who hopes to snatch their inheritance from them. Violet is the oldest of the Baudelaires at 14, and is their brave and fast-thinking leader. The only boy is middle child Klaus, 12, who is intensely intelligent and obsessed with words. The youngest is infant Sunny, who speaks in a language only her siblings can understand, and she has a tendency to, bite.
After the tragic death of their parents, Violet (Emily Browning), Klaus (Liam Aiken), and Sunny (Kara and Shelby Hoffman) Baudelaire travel from guardian to guardian by a good friend of their parents, Mr. Poe (Timothy Spall). The orphans stay with herpetologist Montgomery Montgomery (Billy Connolly) and grammar-wise Josephine Anwhistle (Meryl Streep), but the worst one was Count Olaf (Jim Carrey), an evil and greedy man, who, with the help of his assistants, the bald man (Luis Guzmán), the hook-handed man (Jamie Harris), the person of undeterminable gender (Craig Ferguson), and the two white-faced women (Jennifer Coolidge and Jane Adams), tries to steal the Baudelaire fortune. To do this, he disguises himself in the forms of assistant, Stephano, and ship captain, Julio Sham.Last edited on Tue Feb 20th, 2007 05:21 pm by graziewebfanatic

| I saw this in the theaters when it came out and my daughter loved it, we didnt like it at all. I'm starting to think we dont like going to the theater in general cause when we saw it again recently on HBO we decided we have to buy it.

| I thought this movie was decent. I think the major problem with the movie was that they tried to combine a lot of things into this one movie. I believed they grabbed material from the first 3 books in the series, and tried to fit it into this one movie. Theres too many things squashed together.

| That's one thing Ronnie didnt like about it, she didnt like the combination of the novels in the one film, the books were so popular im suprised they didnt make it like the next harry potter one book for one movie.

| yup. Well, i guess they could also make the argument that the series is a lot longer then harry potter. Harry potter has 7 books, while lemony snickets has 10 or 12 books, i think, not 100% sure, but its a lot.

| thats true! however, another problem would be jim carrey. He doesn't do sequels (the last one he did was ace ventura a long time ago, I think). He probably has to be replaced.
