Perhaps the biggest change in the film is the movement of The Marvelous Marriage. In the book, this scene takes place near the end of the The Bad Beginning. In the film, the wedding takes place at the end of the storyline of The Wide Window. According to the DVD commentary, this was changed to give the film a better climactic ending.
However, in the book, the wedding was one of the main reasons for the removal of Count Olaf's guardianship of the children. Therefore, a small scene was added in the movie in which Olaf tries to kill the Baudelaires by stopping his car on the rail track at the Last Chance General Store 's gas station, locking them inside, and waiting for the train to come. Poe arrives later and takes the orphans away from Olaf.
Although expected, the clothes the Baudelaire children wear in the film are different than those worn in the books. In the film, Violet wears a violet and black dress and a gray rather than red hair ribbon, Klaus wears slacks and a blue sweater over a white dress shirt, and Sunny wears a green dress with pink stripes on the skirt. Another notable wardrobe change regards Klaus's glasses.
In the film, Klaus does not wear glasses, except to read, but in the books, he cannot see without them. The eye tattoo that Count Olaf sports on his ankle is also considerably different from the one described in the book and drawn by Lemony Snicket in his autobiography. The tattoo in the books is formed out of the letters V, F, and D, but it is impossible to form these letters from the tattoo in the film. The film's version, however, is the same as Brett Helquist's early illustrations of Olaf's ankle in the books.
The books contain many recurring themes, such as Libraries, but the film adds one of its own. The children discover that all of their relatives own spyglasses, and they acquire one themselves at the end of the film. The relevance of the spyglasses is unknown, but it could relate to all of the eyes the children seem to always find themselves surrounded by. Another notable change from the books is that, in the film, Count Olaf is shown to be responsible for starting the Baudelaire Fire, by pointing a giant, eye-shaped magnifying glass at the house.
The only novel that has any proof that Olaf burned down the Baudelaire Mansion is The Slippery Slope , wherein Quigley Quagmire tells Carmelita Spats that Olaf will probably burn down their houses, and Klaus claims to have the proof for it. Olaf is a known arsonist, and the Baudelaires secretly believed him to be responsible for the cause of all their trouble, but when he was finally confronted in the books, Olaf neither confirmed nor denied it.

Sonnenfeld is perhaps best known for directing the Men in Black and Addams Family movies, two franchises that speak to his particular sense of broad, unhinged, often physical humor.
That thread follows through in the new series. Sonnefeld also worked as an executive producer on Pushing Daisies, and directed the first two episodes of the short-lived series. That show feels like the strongest influence on A Series of Unfortunate Events : both series rely on a peculiarly colorful yet dark sense of humor, along with mile-a-minute dialogue filled with wordplay, and bizarre humor.
On the other hand, some of the purely digital effects are less convincing, with things coming off as cartoonish. Handler's involvement is apparent in the scripts. But it also serves a crutch, allowing the script to tend toward rambling exposition dumps that tell the story rather than show it.
If Netflix decides to renew A Series of Unfortunate Events for a second season, it could benefit from following the novels less closely and giving its characters — particularly Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, who exist largely to be chased by Olaf and solve problems with their three respective skills — more time to develop as independent entities from their book counterparts. The Netflix series does benefit from the TV format, with its more generous length: while the feature film crams Handler's first three novels into a single minute block, the TV series gives each novel approximately that much time to unfold on-screen, which allows for more complete adaptations and even new scenes that fill in backstory on events beyond the novels.
The show is well aware of its audience, with plenty of references both subtle and obvious to the books, from the Hidden Mickey -esque VFD symbols liberally scattered throughout the episodes to a passing reference to a long-missing sugar bowl. There is one major exception, however, when it comes to the show emulating the books — Neil Patrick Harris' Count Olaf is given plenty of freedom to extemporize in bringing the character to life, to mixed results. His delivery and mannerisms are almost unchanged from those of say, Barney Stinson.
Harris leans so far into the same mock-outrage that his early segments feel like How I Met Your Mother outtakes, complete with a slightly out-of-place musical number in the second episode.
