Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Count Olaf tries to flatter a woman in order to get close to the children.

A group of Count Olafs friends, which include 2 woman with lots of black makeup show mild cleavage in some angles.

Count Olaf forces a little girl to marry him so he could be intitled to her fortune.

Violence & Gore

A man is found dead killed by a "snake" but is implied that Count Olaf did the murdering. Count Olaf leaves a woman in a boat on a lake in order for her to get eaten by leaches. Count Olaf makes several attempts to kill people including the children in order to get their fortune.

The kids find many pests in Count Olaf's cupboards, including rats, worms, a cockroach and a bat. They then use a spittoon as a pot to cook pasta. The visual joke is that after Violet states they'll have to wash it twice, we see something being poured of it (which we're led to believe is old spit, etc.), but it's the freshly cooked pasta (all designed to evoke the "Ewww" reaction).

Count Olaf forces a little girl to marry him but blackmails her saying that he will kill her baby sister if she doesn't go through with it.

Profanity

1 damn

An actress and actor appear to drink liquor (one from a flask, the other from a bottle in a paper bag).

The kids realize that Count Olaf has parked his car (with them in it) on an active railroad track. With the doors locked (and no way to open them) and a train approaching, the kids panic and try to figure out what to do. They quickly devise a plan that works just in the nick of time, diverting the approaching train onto another track right before it hits their car.

Most of the movie is sad and focused around three orphans whose parents died in a fire.
