Leave your thoughts about Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
| Chicago TribuneRobert K. ElderExceptionally clever, hilariously gloomy and bitingly subversive. |
| NewsweekSean SmithPretty charming. Audiences may like it more than critics, but everyone should agree it's one of the most wickedly stylish movies of the year. |
| EmpireCaroline WestbrookSilberling does a good job of introducing Snicket to the big screen in an impressive adaptation that’s always smart, even if it’s rarely spectacular. |
| Washington PostJennifer FreyA gem of a movie, all its adversity and wickedness a backdrop for a story about the remarkable resilience of children |
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesCarrey is a bit of a conundrum: He's the best and worst thing about Lemony Snicket. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyA pessimistic chronicle that even optimistic 8-year-olds can love. |
| PremierePeter DebrugeAn astounding achievement in production design, an original creation so completely in tune with the books' macabre sensibilities that even the movie's (arguably) happy ending can't diminish its satisfying sense of schadenfreude. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezA work of wonderfully sinister fantasy. Director Brad Silberling is always mindful of his kiddie audience -- the movie is never even remotely scary. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe film's no masterpiece, but at least you're in the hands of people who know what they're doing. |
| San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerMuch credit for this delightfully morose children's film must go to director Brad Silberling's careful orchestration. Please note, in the vocabulary-building spirit of the Snicket books, that the word "orchestration'' here means "coaxing good performances out of child actors and keeping Jim Carrey in check.'' |
