I wasn't exactly sure where to put this topic so i put it in here. I recommend this movie like I would recommend lung breathing to a fish. This is now my single most favorite movie in circulation and history of mankind. And for those of you haven't read any of the books, I COMMAND YOU TO READ THEM!!! They are my favorite books, BTW.... There an easy read, and they are really interesting. The basic story behind this movie/book series is as follows. Three siblings Violet, Klaus (which is mispronounced in the movie BTW), and Sunny all live a peaceful life with there parents, until one fateful day while the children are on the beach, they are informed that there parents and home were all lost in a terrible fire. After this the 3 children become orphans and begin jumping from one relative to the next. First they live with a VERY distant relative, Count Olaf, who has no regard for the kids at all, he wants there money, for you see the eldest child Violet was to recieve an emense fortune when she came of age, the children manage to escape Olaf, but every relative they live with gets killed, hense the "jumping from one relative to the next". You HAVE to read the books, at least the first 3 before you see the movie. Cuz the movie is based off the first 3 books. So to sum it all up, read the books, see the movie, love it all.
;D
