I just saw Lemony Snicket. To begin, I think that the sensibility of the book series is right on - kids know that terrible things happen to wonderful people in this world all the time. The author speaks truth to children while educating them without pandering.

And the movie is faithful to the books while being visually inventive. Carrey was at his best, and the children were played beautifully. Even Meryl Streep did a good job - and I haven't liked her work for over a deacade. Customes & sets were very, very well done.

One of the best children's films I have ever seen.
