Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events follows the
Baudelaire orphans--Violet (Emily Browning), Klaus (Liam Aiken),
and baby Sunny (played by twins Kara and Shelby Hoffman)--as they
are followed by the wicked Count Olaf (Jim Carrey). A distant
relative and an awful actor, Olaf is determined to claim the
fortune willed to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, whose parents died in a
mysterious fire. Enigmatic author Lemony Snicket (Jude Law)
recounts the adventures of the three children as they change hands
from the conniving Olaf to the reptile-loving Uncle Monty (Billy
Connolly) to Aunt Josephine (Meryl Steep), who lives in fear of
just about everything.
