* PaperThinDisguise: ** His first disguise, Stefano, is actually pretty convincing....in terms of makeup. What is supposed to tip others off is his incompetence. His introductory lines are a good example of {{Malaproper}}, and to young geniuses like Violet and Klaus an immediate giveaway. That said, the only evidence that ensures it's really Count Olaf is TheLawOfConservationOfDetail -- Montgomery concludes just as quickly that "Stefano" is actually a spy from the Herpetological Society.

* ElegantGothicLolita: She tends to wear an elegant black dress, fishnet gloves and black boots throughout the movie.



* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Even though it sounds like she’s babbling nonsense, it turns out she’s actually saying things in baby speak. Only her siblings and the audience know what she’s actually saying, though. The only time she says a real word is when Josephine explains that Ike was eaten by leeches, which prompts Sunny to say an awkward, “okay.”

* AloofBigBrother: When Sunny was born, Klaus resented her at first. As time went on, that resentment faded away and Klaus started caring about his baby sister.
*
BadassBookworm: He uses the knowledge he obtained from books to help get him and his sisters out of Count Olaf’s clutches on multiple occasions.
* BigBrotherInstinct: When Count Olaf snatches his crying infant sister, Klaus demands that Olaf put her down. Also, he risked his life climbing Olaf’s tower to save both his sisters (Violet from being forced to marry Olaf and Sunny who was captured and being used as a hostage by Olaf).
* BigLittleBrother: There are a couple of scenes that show Klaus is a few inches taller than his older sister.
* BrainyBrunette: He has dark brown hair and he has spent years reading books in his family’s library. When he and his sisters are in trouble, he’s able to recall important information, which helps him get them out of danger.

* MacGyvering: While he’s not as big of an inventor like Violet, he was able to turn an old umbrella into a grappling hook and scale Olaf’s tower to rescue Sunny.

----
* DirtyCoward: Instead of trying to protect the Baudelaires from Olaf, she happily offers the children to him so that he’ll spare her.
* FakingTheDead: She fakes her suicide in order to escape Olaf.
* GoodbyeCruelWorld: Subverted. The Baudelaires initially believe that Josephine committed suicide and left behind a note agonizing over Ike’s death. However, Klaus noticed the note contains improper grammar and uncovers the message “Curdled Cave”, suggesting that Josephine is alive and has fled to Curdled Cave.
* GrammarNazi: She absolutely loves grammar and can’t keep herself from correcting someone when they use poor grammar. This ultimately becomes her undoing when she corrects Count Olaf and he lets her die at the jaws of the Lachrymose Leeches.
* NervousWreck: Ever since her husband died, she has become afraid of virtually everything.
* TooDumbToLive:
** Josephine ate a banana before she and the children set out on Lake Lachrymose. She knew that food attracts the leeches especially if you had eaten less than an hour before you get on the water, but she didn’t tell the children they should wait a while before setting sail.
** After dealing with the murderous Count Olaf, Josephine can’t help herself from correcting him when he uses improper grammar. He lets her die as a result.

* LimitedWardrobe: Aside from the coats given when they're sent to live with their aunt and the camel and bride costumes Olaf makes Violet and Klaus wear, the children wear the same set of clothes throughout the film. Justified since all their other clothes were burnt up by the fire and their guardians weren't able to get them any clothes before they were killed, or in Olaf's case, he just didn't care.


Added DiffLines:

* CharacterTics: Tying up her hair with a ribbon when she gets an idea. Klaus has taken note of this, asking her to tie up her hair in one scene as a way to tell her to think of a way to escape from a tricky situation.
* HeroicBSOD: When Olaf has the kids in his custody once again and forces Violet to marry him in a ceremony disguised as a play, surrendering the family's fortune to him via marriage certificate, under the threat of dropping Sunny from a cage perched high above his mansion, Violet can't find any other way to get out of this than to follow Olaf's scheme. However, she later tries to make the marriage license void by signing it incorrectly and tells the audience that Olaf forcing her to do this against her will.

[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: While their appearance outside of illustrations are never really detailed in the books, the movie makes them appear much more "pretty" (excepting Violet, who was described as being pretty in the books), making Klaus look much older than he probably should, and making him no longer need glasses, which would be a vital plot point in the fourth book. The reason for changing Klaus's glasses from BlindWithoutEm to a pince-nez he only wears while reading was to avoid making him look too similar to Franchise/HarryPotter.
* OnlySaneMan: Frequently the Baudelaires are this, and Liam Aiken (who played Klaus) himself described the siblings as "the only sane people."
[[/folder]]


Added DiffLines:


* MacGyvering: Violet's specialty, she gets herself and her siblings out of countless predicaments by smartly using objects and items around her.
* NotHisSled: In the novels, [[spoiler: Violet avoids marriage to Count Olaf by signing the certificate with her left hand (there's a rule stating that signing with your non-dominant hand renders the marriage null and void)]]. In the film, [[spoiler: Count Olaf takes notice that she's trying that, tells her to sign it properly]], causing a need for another method.


Added DiffLines:


* DeadpanSnarker: Sunny's baby talk has her be snarky to the adult characters, even though they can't understand her.


Added DiffLines:


* AdaptationalIntelligence: Count Olaf, while a lot goofier and more comical than in the books, a definite LargeHam and prone to EvilGloating, is also a good deal smarter and more competent than his book counterpart. Throughout the movie he's constantly one step ahead of everyone else, even managing to see though plots and schemes that his book counterpart fell for.
* AdaptationalKarma: [[spoiler:In the novels and Netflix series, Count Olaf [[KarmaHoudini escapes justice, thus escaping comeuppance]]. In the film, however, Count Olaf ends up arrested and is forced to [[LaserGuidedKarma suffer everything the Baudelaire children had to go through]] before serving a life sentence. Unfortunately, he does survive all of those mishaps and his theater troupe ended up as part of the jury and overturned his life sentence, thus allowing Count Olaf to escape.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Count Olaf was written as very sinister in the original books, and remains so in the movie. However, Jim Carrey's portrayal of Olaf made the character more over the top and hammy, leaning closer to comic relief.
* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Olaf tries to force Violet to marry him in a staged play. His description of what he intends Violet strongly suggests that it would have been an AwfulWeddedLife.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Count Olaf in this version is a complete goofball who, while a terrible person, doesn't seem particularly dangerous. [[NotSoHarmlessVillain He is no less of a cold blooded murderer than he was in the books.]]
* CoattailRidingRelative: Count Olaf spends most of the movie trying to get the Baudelaire orphans' inheritance.
* DevilInPlainSight: Count Olaf is almost always one of these, and no one believes the Baudelaires until they finally prove that his latest persona is a criminal.
* {{Fauxreigner}}: Olaf as "Stephano" claims to be Italian, but he [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent sounds more like]] a cross between Creator/FrankOz (or more specifically, [[Franchise/TheMuppets Fozzie Bear]]) and a vague foreshadowing of [[Film/TheDarkKnight Heath Ledger as the Joker]]. Footage exists of Carrey getting make-up applied for a very different version of Stephano, with long greasy hair, an outrageous Italian accent, and generally very filthy looking. This was likely changed for being too similar to negative Italian caricatures.
* GloveSnap: Count Olaf does this in his herpetologist disguise.
* HypocriticalHumor: When Captain Sham (Count Olaf) says, "There ain't nothin' better than good grammar!" in front of Aunt Josephine, a GrammarNazi.
* ItIsPronouncedTroPay: Count Olaf repeatedly mispronounces certain words, most noticeably ''sur-preez'' ([[GeniusBonus which is actually]] [[BilingualBonus the French way of pronouncing the word]]).
* LaserGuidedKarma: At the end of the film, after Olaf gets apprehended, [[spoiler: he is tried and found guilty in court and put through most of the significantly harrowing situations the orphans were forced into before serving a life sentence.]]
* OrphanedPunchline: As Count Olaf brings his acting troupe in near the beginning, he's saying, "...tub full of ice in Baja, and I realize that these clever girls had stolen my kidney! Imagine my ''[[ItIsPronouncedTroPay surpreez!]]''"
* PaperThinDisguise: ** His first disguise, Stefano, is actually pretty convincing....in terms of makeup. What is supposed to tip others off is his incompetence. His introductory lines are a good example of {{Malaproper}}, and to young geniuses like Violet and Klaus an immediate giveaway. That said, the only evidence that ensures it's really Count Olaf is TheLawOfConservationOfDetail -- Montgomery concludes just as quickly that "Stefano" is actually a spy from the Herpetological Society.
** Captain [[MeaningfulName Sham]], on the other hand, is so blatantly Olaf it's PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler:You can see a member of Olaf's acting troupe almost immediately after Sham appears to confirm it]]. "Sham" proceeds to romance Aunt Josephine in an equally blatant example of AdultsAreUseless.

* PapaWolf: Even though he's just as oblivious to Olaf's evil intentions as everyone else, Mr. Poe shows some signs of this for the children... in some ways. The main examples are him being outraged that Sunny was "driving" a car and Olaf tried to gain the Baudelaire fortune by getting Justice Strauss to unknowingly marry Violet to Olaf.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: After Olaf tries to kill the orphans by parking his car with them inside on the grade crossing, Mr. Poe rightly removes them from his guardianship, but only because he believed Olaf let baby Sunny drive.
