The film was directed by Brad Silberling and starred some quite big actors including Jim Carrey (as the main role of Count Olaf), Jude Law and Meryl Streep. The film reasonably stuck to the source material, which pleased some big fans of Lemony Snickets best-selling books. After three siblings are made orphans due to an unfortunate and devastating fire in their family mansion that kills both their parents, they are sent to a distant relative, ‘Count Olaf’ who maliciously tries to acquire the Baudelaire’s massive inheritance by using murder, arson, and many other cruel methods.
Depending on which country you live in, you may or may not be able to stream this movie from Netflix. Because the film was Distributed by Paramount Pictures, who is owned by Viacom (UK), this film is not available in the United States due to Viacom recalling all their content from America’s streaming services.
But if you’re not living in America have hope! Because the film is streaming in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Mexico, France, Netherlands, Germany
