The first three books were my favorite of the series. I saw the movie the day after it came out and it was not what I expected. The wedding was at the very end of the movie. The part where the Baudelire children convince Aunt Josefina electric appliances were fine was skipped. They should not have combined the first three books into one movie. There is an elf in the start of the movie. The elf is in other scenes and it is not in any books. Uncle Monty said he needed an inventor,a reader, and a biter to help him build the cage for the snake in the book. In the movie they never build the cage even though he adresses that part. I thought it was rushed and left to much stuff out. It was not as true to the books as I expected.
