Lemony Snicket is as much a stranger to me now as he was when this was released 17 years ago, and having finally watched the film I can see why I never fancied it. A bit like a poor man's Big Fish, it has some interesting direction and scenes but is nowhere near as entertaining as Burton's effort. And while I’m all for dark comedies for kids, the tone here is so inconsistent it’s distracting, with Carrey’s Olaf the worst culprit.

Well produced but undistinguished kids fantasy that rarely gets out of second gear due to Silberling's rather pedestrian direction and the somewhat generic set designs. Sure they look 'good', superficially, but they aren't particularly imaginative, and while Carrey is very good as Count Olaf, the film struggles to sustain interest for extended periods when he isn't on screen.

The best scene is the letter-reading and the epilogue that follows ("what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey") but the emotional release is not what it could've been thanks to a slapdash (a word which here means way too fucking rushed) script that never sits with any of the suffering, and it's unfortunately never sharp or coherent enough to work as a quick and quirky dark comedy either. Some performances and CGI are a tad iffy yet too.
