Lemony Snicket Review

Eh. This movie was just eh. The idea is decent. The delivery not bad. Jim Carrey acted well but wasn't particurily funny or seemed very evil. The atmosphere, sets and all that good. The story, Carrey tries to kill children for the fortune left by their dead parents, decent. The main problem with the movie is pacing. It was just sooooo freaking slow. To much padding or belief that all that dead weight would equal care for the children. Well, it didn't. Sadly the kids where cute but really the only reason to care about them is cause their parents died. Sad, but not enough to be upset or engrossed in their lives. The movie seemed to have a lesson, an ending designed to make you feel choked up or hopeful. I was just glad the movie was over. This movie is a rental or even better catch it on cable.
