Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) is a family adventure comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Brad Silberling directs Jim Carrey, Meryl Streep and Jude Law in an adaptation of Daniel Handler's children's books.

A house fire leaves the three Baudelaire children orphaned and rich. Violet, the eldest, invents gadgets out of whatever she can find; bookish Klaus remembers everything he reads; and baby Sunny bites through anything with her sharp teeth. Their new guardian, the distant relative Count Olaf, is no count at all. Played by Carrey as a parade of bad disguises, he wants only one thing: the children's inheritance, and he'll do anything to get it.

The film wraps its dark fairy-tale plot in a gloomy Gothic look that won an Oscar for makeup. A mournful offscreen narrator keeps warning you to stop watching, which only makes it harder to look away. Stream Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) online on iFILM.
