Sour Lemonynew
The villain of Lemony Snicket, Count Olaf, just may be Jim Carrey's finest role. The rest of the movie, however, isn't quite up to Carrey's level.
Lemony Freshnew
Thankfully, the dark tone of the beloved children's books is carried over to the screen, and the terrific performances and production design provide extra lift.

Little Sugar but Lots of Ham in Lemony Snicket new
The film adaptation puts director Brad Silberling in a position as precarious as any the Baudelaires ever face. Silberling struggles to resist Hollywood's knee-jerk love of happy endings while staying faithful to Snicket's cheerful contempt for upbeat material.

The Snicket movie gets the books' look right, if not the fear.
