i be draw to this movie after read all the lemony snicket book to my child . it be a disappointment throughout . jim carrey be at his hammy bad . his count olaf isn not the shrewdly evil menace create by mr. snicket while he a clown in need of ritalin . in contrast and violet and klaus baudelaire drone through their adventure without expression . these unfortunate young actor be in need of some on set guidance while clearly director brad silberling wasn not up to the task . despite their predictable escape from inescapable situation and the kid intelligence characterize in the book never come through in the movie . and poor sunny be reduce to boorish attempt at comic relief . rather than add insight or contribute to the sibling success ( again and a in the book ) and sunny baby talk be subtitle with witless one liner take not from mr. snicket clever writing and but conjure by screenwriter look for a cheap laugh . ( sunny represent ( ( baby talk ) ) and subtitle represent what a schmuck . or back off and parrotface . ) thankfully and whatever fart joke the writer script for her be edit from the final cut . but the filmmaker be surely delight to have sunny threaten to bite olaf in the crotch . ( after sink her teeth into his leg and subtitle represent i will bite high . ) be there anything less appeal than the thought of a baby attach her mouth to a man genitals . timothy spall be fine but insignificant a mr. poe and the child ineffective trustee . a be katherine ohara a justice strauss . the movie only charm character be billy connelly uncle monty . but ala and he be ( spoiler ) snuff out before his time . too bad we can not say the same about the entire flick .
