* StillbornFranchise: Plans to continue the series on film stalled after the movie underperformed at the box office. A complete adaptation of the series would not happen until Creator/{{Netflix}} made their own adaptation.

* DisownedAdaptation: Both Executive Producer Creator/BarrySonnenfeld and Creator/DanielHandler himself aren't fond of this movie. What probably doesn't help is that neither of them had much creative control over the movie.

* SoMyKidsCanWatch: Creator/MerylStreep took the role of Aunt Josephine upon the request of her daughter, a big fan of the books.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCastShowoff: Parodied in the trailers for the film, where Jim Carrey is credited three times in less than three seconds for each of Olaf's disguises.
* DawsonCasting: Averted--Emily Browning and Liam Aiken were both only a year or so older than their characters in the film.
* DVDCommentary: Two, one that comes in the regular "actors and director" flavor and one that features the director and [[spoiler:Daniel Handler in character as]] Lemony Snicket himself, who is obviously very disturbed at the director's insistence on introducing Count Olaf into the plot at all, let alone (supposedly) AsHimself.
* FakeAmerican: Australian Creator/EmilyBrowning plays Violet, who's American [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield in accent only]].
* ThrowItIn: In response to Klaus saying "Our parents just died," Count Olaf says, "Ah yes, of course. How very, very awful. Wait! Let me do that one more time. Give me the line again! Quickly, while it's fresh in my mind!" The dialog was supposed to end after Klaus says "Our parents just died", but Jim Carrey felt he didn't get the reaction right. Director Brad Silberling just kept the cameras rolling and Carrey ad-libbed without breaking character.
