Two things: Now you need to watch part 2, because it's amazing! And also,it's funny you said he sounded like the grinch in that part; 6 years later he played the grinch.

Not a bad artist, either. Bit Dadist, but very good nouveau

If you've seen Carrey's early 80's standup, or his early chops on "In Living Color", 80's-90's Carrey was a master in Humor of Annoyance, where there was no top he wouldn't gleefully go over with that look of "Is this bugging you?" The "Most annoying sound in the world" scene from Dumb & Dumber just summed up his early style perfectly.
But the Peter Sellers urges in him wanted to go for stranger, multi, and more challenging roles than the Ace Ventura knockoffs studios wanted to put him in, and "A Series of Unfortunate Events" feels like one of the last times we got old annoying Carrey and new "serious" man-of-a-thousand-faces Carrey in the same movie.

When this movie came out, I didn't like it much....still don't, actually...body humor was never really my thing. But I have to squee over Baby Jim Carrey. I didn't like him much (again with the body humor and the over the top performances that are always never as go and od on screen as they are onstage) and watching it again gave me a new perspective on his overall journey as a performer. Jim Carrey has some SERIOUS acting chops that I think a lot of people have overlooked because of previous annoyance and being typecast into playing the same obnoxious character over and over and over again....and I don't think he gets as much credit as he's due. The Truman show was the one that got me. Respect to you, Mr. Carrey.
