The Baudelaire siblings,
Violet (Emily Browning), Klaus (Liam Aiken), and baby Sunny (Kara Hoffman and
Shelby Hoffman) were living a fairy-tale existence with their parents until they
died in a fire that destroyed the family home. With few close relatives and a
large fortune the children won't inherit until they reach adulthood, the
Baudelaire children are left in the care of the peculiar Count Olaf (Jim
Carrey), an out-of-work actor who would love nothing more than to get his hands
on the kids' money. It doesn't take long for the children to figure out that
Count Olaf is up to no good, and they try to steer clear of his various
murderous schemes with the help of wildly paranoid Aunt Josephine (Meryl Streep)
and snake-fancying Uncle Monty (Billy Connolly).
