I really recommend watching the TV show - The author was a writer and producer on it and it’s what he wanted the movie to be (I don’t think he was a big fan of the film) Much more is explained and, as someone who was obsessed with the books growing up, I absolutely loved it. It’s just SO good.

The TV show was a great adaptation, but there's something special and unique about this one.

There's also a Netflix Series that covers all of the books. This movie only covers the first 3 books, but I think how they connected everything worked well.

I think the best way to sum up Count Olaf is with the book quote: "I am not Count Olaf" Count Olaf lied. Just a complete asshole and loving it

No, you're right, Jim Carrey played Scrooge in " A Christmas Caroll ". I didn't see a lot of his movies but this role is the funniest for me. Fun fact : when Count Olaf asks to Klaus to give him the line again was in fact improvised by Jim Carrey because he forgot his lines. That's why they look at him like that. In the book, Violet is save of the wedding because she's right-handed but signed the paper with her left hand (so technically, she didn't sign it with her own hand)

"Hello hello hello" is one of the coldest lines 🥶

I love how meta this movie is with it's narrator. Also Jim Carey's performance in this is funny and sinister as hell

Dunno if anyone mentioned already - the "Give me the line again" moment in the beginning was a blooper that was deemed completely in-character for Count Olaf, so they kept it in.

19:17 Snakes can in fact be "milked"! That's what you call gathering the venom of a snake. You hold onto the back of their heads and put them right in front of a cup with a plastic lid. The snake bites down, and injects the venom like they would with a prey animal. So you end up with a cup of snake venom, which can be used for research, or medical purposes like making antivenom. Depending on what snake is being milked, this can be a pretty scary job, I definitely couldn't do it. There's lots of videos of it on youtube, and it's crazy to see how the venom spurts out of their fangs. It doesn't hurt the snake, and doesn't take a lot of time, but it is pretty intense.

As a middle school student, I used to finish a book in one night while reading this series. I played the video game. I loved the TV series. This movie is good too. I never thought I would see someone react to it, but I'm so excited you have.

Dark can't begin to describe these books, the author is a ruthless genius. The Netflix series was well done and worth watching, Every reader can interpret the lessons for themselves, amazing stories, really. Probably for the 10 and older crowd, I loved them in my 30's❤

You should check out the tv series, the full storyline is fleshed out. You'll also see the full scope of the secret society, Olaf's terror, and each off the 13 books is crossed.

Watch the show, he's way worse and has a longer reign of terror on it. Also he's their closest living relative on a map and Mr poe though that was what closest living relative meant

Wish this had a sequel, but the Netflix series is absolutely wonderful

righttt!

Unpopular opinion but as a massive childhood fan of the books, I still like this movie better than the Netflix series (although it's not bad). The series is more plot accurate to the books but imo the movie did a better job at nailing the emotional depth and sense of melancholy underneath all the wackiness of the plot. The kids had more time in this to actually sit with their grief whereas the show's script was a bit too fast-paced to allow for that emotional breathing room, which I think is necessary for the tragedy of the premise to really hit home. I like both adaptations but this one will always be my favorite

I agree. I felt the children’s dialogue in the show was often too rapid and breathless to feel anything for them. Whereas the movie had those slower moments like the “sanctuary” scene in Olaf’s attic or the payoff of the “Letter that Never Came” when they revisit the mansion. And then there’s Thomas Newman’s score. Perfectly captures that melancholic tone in the film.

I wasn't crazy about the movie, but the series was interesting to watch. It kept telling me to look away, but I just couldn't. I had to know what happened. And it had Kronk as Lemony Snicket! Not to mention it went into detail about that secret society.

I've heard so many people criticize these stories for the way the adults don't listen or the way the narration explains things. But it's not a flaw. It is an stylistic choice. It's a parody of the way children feel. It is an intentional exaggeration, a parody of the way people don't listen or talk down to children (who are our protagonists) . It's SUPPOSED to make you feel frustrated and talked down to. Remember, this is a stylized world. It's not supposed to be realistic in tone, story, or characterization.

I actually liked the casting and the character portrayals in the movie over the series. But, overall, I rather enjoyed both. I especially liked the series for covering the content as much as possible, but I know that they couldn't do so for the movie as it would been far too long. I just wish they actually made it book one, with sequels in mind.

I haven't seen this in so long!! So awesome JV

I think you were thinking of Jim Carey in "A Christmas Carol" (2009), where Carey plays eight characters in this animated production: Scrooge at five stations of life and all three Christmas ghosts. This follows the same animation and treatment as "The Polar Express" (2004), where Tom Hanks plays six characters. Other reaction recommendations: "The Spiderwick Chronicles" "The Golden Compass" "Cloud Atlas" "The Fountain"

i was blown away with the netflix tv show because it covered all the books. And the show turned out to be amazing

There is also Barnyard, it's a (2006) Computer animated film from Nickelodeon too, as well as the Wild Thornberries Movie.

This my favorite Jim carrey movie. And Count Olaf's house is a horrible place to live in literally.

So even though its out of order from the book I think this was a magnificent movie adaption. The soundtrack is still to this day one of my very favorites, and the style/visuals are so well done and fit so well with how the books were. I used to watch this over and over as a kid. Used to quote things from count olaf to make my little cousins laugh (Like the zoom in eye bit). All that being said you def should check out the series that Neil Patrick Harris stared in (as olaf!!) and directed. Its one of the best and most faithful to the original that I've ever seen from a show. Theres a ton of parts that are direct lines from the book. Its a different vibe than this, but it actually does the whole series and does it justice. I just wish they wouldve gotten Thomas Newman to do the soundtrack again lmao but thats just imo.

Oh yeah, he is 10,000% worse in the books, like hooollly crap is he worse, id actually recommend reading them or listening to them…

When it comes to “milking” snakes, that pertains to agitating a venomous snake (or spider) to veeeery carefully collect their venom. Which Petunia is clearly not venomous, based on her head shape. She’s most likely a corn snake. No getting venom out of her. 😂 So Monty was absolutely testing Olaf and caught him red-handed.

altho i think the actors in this movie played their roles well, overall it really doesnt do justice to the series. the netflix series did it much better and covered everything rather than just condensing some of it. I would highly recommend it to be checked out and would love to see it get reacted to if you decide to do so :)

This was the perfect Jim Carrey movie. The role was as over-the-top as he is. It is also the only Jim Carrey I liked. It has a great Thomas Newman score too. Thanks for doing it. I think you are the first and only reactor to have done it. But I think this is the key for getting new subscribers. All the popular great movies have been done to death. So that leaves all the unpopular great movies to react to. Movies that Patreon voters never vote for but are major draws to subscribers because no one ever does them. It worked on me anyway.

I was so happy we got a series adaptation of this. This series is underrated.

AND one FINAL thing (I swear): Charlotte may enjoy the books once she gets to be around 10, as something to read to her like I did with my son. They do a great job showing the bad, finding the good, and getting through it. Some great moral lessons, lessons abiut understanding and life, while still being silly at times. There are 13 in all (I think) and are quick reads. This movie covers about 3 of those books pretty well (gets all the main points and stories across) so needless to say there is a LOT more going on to enjoy.

And you're right, reptiles don't have mammals but when the uncle Monty talked about milked I think he meant extracting the venom because it's used later for making serum anti-venom

Which makes it funny because Olaf tried to demonstrate the milking process as if the snake was a cow. This further validated Monty's suspicions, and is most likely why he even asked him to milk the snake.

Bro I loved this book series. Got the whole thing when I was like… I don’t remember but I read the whole thing and loved it and I liked the movie even tho it’s not exactly correct and the Netflix series is even better. Agddjfkdk this was my childhood!!!!

I personally didn't care much for the Netflix show of these novels (or maybe I just didn't give it a chance, despite watching the first couple of episodes) but being a fan of the novels, I thought this film did the first three books a great job. I guess fun fact, I recall at least the actress that played Sunny would fall asleep at times during shooting some scenes, which I find adorable.

Loved this book series growing up, the TV show at least has the complete story if you’re looking to finish the series…of unfortunate events.

0:48 Scrooge wise, I recommend you watch “Spirited”. It’s a great Christmas movie musical and is hilarious. It just came out a year ago and has Ryan Reynolds and will Farrell in it it’s amazing

I agree it is frustrating how all the adults ignore the children, but it is saddenly fitting given the time period. I mean, isn't this the era where "children should be seen and not heard" was the general consensus and child labor was common practice? Man history is fucked up.......

The Netflix show was so great. Highly recommend it!

You should definitely check out the tv show

I loved the books and I also like this movie. I was disappointed when they didn't make more movies of the rest of the books. They eventually did a Netflix series of A Series Of Unfortunate Events and that was pretty good as well but I prefer the movie version personally.

Well, the next book in the series is “The Miserable Mill.” A HUGE plot point of that book revolves around Klaus and his glasses. But the movie didn’t give Klaus any glasses. I don’t know how they could’ve adapted the rest of the series into a movie franchise.

After playing count olaf in Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events (2004), Jim Carrey played scrooge in Disney's motion capture animated adaptation of a Christmas Carol (2009).

This was one of my favourite films while I was younger. The books and the series are amazing.

Adding that to the list

Milking a snake is forcefully taking venom from its fangs.

So if you think the adults are a bit too stupid in the movie that is kind of the point of the books. It is trying to teach kids that sometimes adults don't know everything or always have their best interest in heart. That sometimes thinking for yourself is important.

Hey Justin, I have to agree with you. Jim Carrey's performance was not very good in this movie. One of the worst scenes is when he mimics Violet's tone after she said, " But the sun's still up." It means that he doesn't care that the sun is up as he orders them to go to bed. I was worried that he was going to tell Klaus to shut up because he was trying to make a point that Violet wasn't making it up, She was telling him the truth. But Count Olaf refuses to accept it and orders them to go to bed. Then he got very upset with them for making pasta puttanesca for dinner. He puts them to their room as he tells them that he was very disappointed for not making him dinner correctly. Can you tell me about the scenes? Thanks for your time! From, Chris.

Jim Carrey stole the show as Count Olaf like he did before with the riddler in batman forever and later with Dr. Robotnik in the live action sonic the hedgehog movies.
