	A Series of Unfortunate Events - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Series of Unfortunate Events is a children's book series, written by Daniel Handler under the pseudonym of Lemony Snicket, and illustrated by Brett Helquist.
		Snicket often talks about Beatrice, the woman he loved (this may be a reference to Beatrice Portinari, who was unrequitedly loved by the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri and appears as a character in two of his works).
		Snicket often uses strange and specific similes, in which an event in the story is described as being like a situation that would rarely occur, though Snicket goes into great detail about it, perhaps describing past experiences of his such as described above.

	A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS movie review, In Film Australia
		Lemony Snicket, the jovially jaded alter ego of thirty four year-old author Daniel Handler, has sold more than twenty seven million copies of his books worldwide, and was the first author to knock the Harry Potter series off the top of the New York Times children's best sellers list.
		The visual patterns of the film are intriguingly designed, left-of-norm in a kind of Burtonesque manner: slightly hallucinogenic, slightly impressionist, and the effect is refreshingly off-kilter, especially for a family film.
		But A Series of Unfortunate Events is charming in its bleakness, naughty rather than nasty, and still conveys something tangible for the kids that doesn't insult their intelligence, actually giving them credit for having a sophisticated sense of humour able to penetrate the harshness to appreciate the soft centre within.

	Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The film has a strong "Harry Potter" feel, what with the heroic, much put-upon British children, and the fantastical setting.
		The film comes with a wonderfully disturbing climax, and a enjoyably happy epilogue that hints at many future misfortunes for the Baudelaire children.

	Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events (PG) - on video... - The Barnstable Patriot - Cape Cod & Islands
		Lemony Snicket is the narrator of a series of unfortunate events that befall the Baudelaire orphans.
		It is a film aimed at the young adults who devour the books and strives hard to keep the tone and feel of the film on the same level as the literature it is based on.
		The visual style of the film is so other-worldly that even though some of the events in the film are dark, the good spirit of the Baudelaire orphans shines through, brightening the unfortunate events befalling them.

	Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events review by Dean Valent ! - MoviesOnline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The film opens with the bad, bad news that the Baudelaire children's parents have passed away in a fire.
		Also, I felt that this film should have been a 12 for the proper sinister characters and horror momennts of the book to frurish, but to garner it a PG the character of Olaf had to be more camp than psychoticly smart, for which Jim Carrey did well.
		That is the only point where the film could have been as entertaining for adults as for children (and I did feel odd going with my wife to a film mainly having young kids as an audience anyway...).

	Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Review
		Lemony Snicket has sold out -- and his movie is better for it.
		This may not be what fans of ''A Series of Unfortunate Events" want to hear, but it's true: The inevitable Hollywood version of author Daniel Handler's poisoned kiddie-book bonbons inevitably lets a little light into the darkest corners of the Baudelaire orphans' lives.
		The rest of ''Snicket" is a dank clockwork pleasure, from its fake-out beginning (as a cheery Claymation film called ''The Happy Elf") to the gorgeous paper cut-out credits that will keep you in the theater to the end.

	Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events Nintendo Gamecube Video Game Review by AceGamez
		Recent releases of film tie-ins have been superb, or at the very least pleasing, such as The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Star Wars: Battlefront and even some of the Harry Potter titles.
		Fans of the book and film will probably enjoy this method of relaying the tale, not relying on stills from the film, or crude 3D representations of the action, but instead turning to something far more artistic and appealing.
		It's unfortunate that there are so many letdowns within Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events, be it the irritating sound, the dull representations of the characters and the gameplay that really is far too easy to engage the experienced player.

		The film's basic plot is that the wealthy parents of three children die in an inexplicable fire at their spacious home.

	CANOE -- JAM! Movies - Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events Review - An Unfortunate turn
		DEAR READER: Author Lemony Snicket warns you off seeing the movie version of his first three books because there are just so many "extremely unpleasant" things to see, horrible things that will happen and "misery and woe" that overtake the lives of the young heroes.
		Snicket instead recommends taking in "a documentary about cheese fondue." Astute fans of the Lemony Snicket universe know, of course, that the warning is a ruse and that the unpleasantries are precisely what attracts them.
		So it is no surprise that Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events is chockfull of nuts -- not least of which is Jim Carrey playing evil ogre Count Olaf -- as well as such terrifying creatures as a giant snake, man-eating lake leeches and Meryl Streep as an in-law.

		Lemony Snickets "A Series of Unfortunate Events": A comedy directed by: Brad Silberling, and starring: Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep, Emily Browning, Kara Hoffman, and Liam Aiken.
		But, based as it is on the first three books in the Lemony Snicket series, the movie also suffers from a serious case of "episodism." What I mean is, the same sorts of scenes and situations keep happening over and over again.
		Relying on their wits and a bit of luck, the children manage to escape Olaf again and again, only to be shipped off to yet another mysterious "relative." The third time this happens, some of the threads begin to sag in what has been up till then a tautly woven adventure.

		One would be tempted to view this intriguing adaptation of Lemony Snicket's children's fables for at least the interesting get-ups of the stars.
		Dark, brooding and sometimes susceptible to be labelled abusive to children, "Lemony Snicket's..." chronicles the rather bizarre and often painfully sadistic adventures of three bright orphans tossed from one eccentric household to another for a home away from home.
		In "Lemony Snicket's...", we see the kids being tossed through a tumult of fairytale dangers - not quite life threatening, but still nail-biting in its suspense.

		The acting is exceptional, with Jim Carrey delivering a series of wonderfully executed, superbly "evil", and extremely funny cameos, and with the two teenagers contributing quite outstanding performances.
		And, the whole "feel" of the film, from its opening "this ain't where you think you are" cartoon sequence to its beautifully executed end titles - so good that they're a work of art in their own right - is extremely clever and tightly controlled.

	Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
		One of these desired products was a series of novels about a beleaguered family of orphans, the Baudelaire children, written by “Lemony Snicket” (the pseudonym of Daniel Handler).
		The story is narrated by Lemony Snicket (voice of Jude Law), as he’s writing in his room inside a giant clock.
		It’s based on three of the Lemony Snicket books, “The Bad Beginning,” “The Reptile Room” and “The Wide Window.” But the joy of the books must lie in the writing style, and indeed the best aspect of the film, the one area in which the tone is just right, is in the narration.

		While my two teenage daughters enjoyed the film (although they did admit that this was not a "Full Price" film) I found it difficult to sort out.
		We are told that this is not a "cute" move but one about a series of unfortunate events in the lives of 3 orphans.
		The film introduces us to the Baudeleire children just before they are told of the death of their parents.

		Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (ASUE) has recently hit theaters to the applause of all the young children around the country, and what better way to celebrate the latest blockbuster film than releasing your traditional movie-licensed game to coincide with its film debut?
		The amount of detail in them was a little bit more than I was expecting; such as the showcasing of the draping diapers of Sunny to the sinister glare that Count Olaf seems to always have fixated on his face.
		As this is right now, leave Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events to the audience it was aimed for.

		Lemony Snicket, voiced by Jude Law, claims to be the biographer of the Beaudelaire orphans.
		Carrey's extravagance aids the film, because he's so outrageous children won't be as frightened by the dark subject matter as they might have with a more realistic villain.
		Lemony Snicket sets, costumes and music are exceptional and go a long way to disguising the simplistic material.

	Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events Review by The Dove Foundation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Adapted from the children’s novels by author Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events is a dark comedy about the misadventures of three gifted orphans: 14-year-old Violet (Emily Browning), 12-year-old Klaus (Liam Aiken) and infant Sunny (Kara and Shelby Hoffman).
		Narrated by Lemony Snicket (Jude Law), the story begins as the Bauedelaire orphans discover that their parents have perished in a fire that destroyed the family mansion.
		As the film states in the beginning through the narration by Lemony Snicket, this is a tale of unfortunate events and if you want a more upbeat film you can go see one about an elf in theater 2.

		This means that the other books as Lemony Snicket has written 11 is basically impossible for the film makers to turn it all around and make it unfortunant again its just no likely.
		Lemony Snicket also uses examples from his own life that are really outragous, and then incorporates them into the books.
		A series of unfortunate events is about three children - Violet who's 14, Klaus who's 12 but turns 13 through the series and sunny who is only a baby.

		The motion graphics for the titles at the end of the film is a short film that makes me feel hopelessy inadequate when it comes to animation.
		I had been hoping that a film with such great promise and elaborate design would have a stronger undercurrent of meaning and allegory to it, like, for instance, Hook, which I feel tells a story of great depth and emotion.
		Unfortunate Events, in my opinion, lacks the deeper allegorical quality that we’ve come to expect from fairy tales.
