Three children - Violet (Emily Browning), Klaus (Liam Aiken), and Sunny Baudelaire (Kara and Shelby Hoffman) - are left orphaned when their house burns down, with their parents in it, in mysterious circumstances. They are left in the custody of a distant relative, Count Olaf (Jim Carrey). It is soon apparent that Count Olaf only cares about the children for their large inheritance.

A Series of Unfortunate Events Ratings & Reviews

  • mickerdoo5d ago
    Felt like a unique IP. Needed one more relative to swindle. Not a huge fan of the Burton-esque style.

    MY FUTURE EX-WIVES MERYL STEEP AND CATHERINE O'HARA ] JIM CARREY WAS FUNNY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER AND HELENA BONHAM CARTER ARE IN IT, LOVE HER. TIMOTHY SPALL IS IN IT. I LOVE THE BABY
