If you want whimsical darkness with Jim Carrey chewing scenery as a delightfully villainous guardian, then absolutely watch this tonight—it's a visually inventive adaptation that nails the twisted tone of Snicket's world. Skip it only if you need something light and cheerful, because this is deliberately gothic and melancholic, even when it's funny.
