My daughter and I just got back from watching and enjoyed it very much. If you go be sure to listen to Carrey's fast talking, especially when he is playing the 'old salt'. It is a hoot! Loved the baby Sunny.

Sunny was about the only redeeming quality imo. I would've enjoyed "The Littlest Elf" more

Have y'all read the books? I was wondering how it compared. If I read the books, should I avoid the movie?

As usual the books were much better. I've read the first 4 and will continue on with them until I run out.

My daughter and I have read all the books. Today she went with a friend who hasn't read any of the books to see the movie. She said the friend who hasn't read the books really enjoyed the movie, my daughter just said "meh" ...

Not a big fan of Jim Carrey here either. We saw the movie last night. My youngest son had a somewhat vested interested in it since he knows Emily Browning. I thought she did an excellent job. Sunny was a hoot. Mr. Carrey was bearable in this film. Over all I thought it was a cute movie.

a celebrity once removed!! COOL!! We went today - we liked it... when watching the cre'dits dd remarked "how come 'Mr Carey gets so much, and who's Mr Carey?" LOL ie Mr. Carey's makeup, Mr Carey's driver, Mr Careys executive assitant, Mr careys assitant...

and for Sunny, dont remember the exact names, but their last name is Hoffman, and Dustin made a cameo in the play!!

also, dd kept trying to compare to the books!

I took 3 boys, aged 7,9, and 12 and we really all enjoyed it very much. I am a big Jim Carrey fan and I had fun with him. I have never read the books and might just have to do so. Two of the boys had read the books and they really liked the movie as much as the books.

Hubby and I liked it. He went out and bought the first 4 books afterwards. The theatre had all adults and teens in it. I saw maybe 3 kids yet the theatre was packed. A week later, we saw a different movie but noted the crowd was the same for Lemony Snicket as when we went.

I liked it very much. My two older kids have read the books. They were some disappointed with the movie...too much left out.

I have to say it was the most visually dismal movie I've seen, very drab and gray, but that didn't detract from it for me.
