I really like Jim Carrey. I think that he’s a great comedic talent. He can get on a roll and just run with it. So it was interested to see what he did with so many different (and bizarre) characters. I have read the first 3 books of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (the volumes used to create the movie), and so had some background for the story line. My cousin and friends had a little less information. They thought that it was quite bizarre.
It was interesting to me that they tried to put so many of the books in a movie at a time. But I guess better than going on for 15 movies… It was a little silly at points, but was happy that I went to see it. And it worked as we tried to find something for the adults and children in the group. I’ll be interested to hear if the kids go back and read the books now.
