I'm flabbergasted by some of these reviews. I was absolutely enthralled by this film, and can't imagine anyone NOT falling in love with this amazing movie. I am in college, but I am a tried and true fan of all 11 amazing Lemony Snicket books. They are smart, witty, and dark. I've been looking forward to this film for a while, and had VERY VERY high expectations, and wasn't disappointed at all!!! Who cares if things from the books were changed around or things were added in? People expect exact replicas when books are made into movies, but that is not logical. The movie captured the spirit of the books perfectly, with AMAZING sets and visuals, and amazing performances all around. Anyone who gives this movie a negative review is just nit-picking. I cannot wait to see this movie again!! DO NOT listen to bogus negative reviews! Fans of the books WILL NOT be disappointed in the least!!!
