...role of the neurotic Aunt Josephine; she is as bemusing in her phobias as she is touching in her delusions. Jude Law, the voice of Lemony Snicket, provides a pleasant balance between soothing narrator tones and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm. The three Baudelaire children are compelling too, but??perhaps unsurprisingly, considering their dazzling co-stars—they are the least notable of the performers.
