Hey, guys--
Finally saw The Da Vinci Code over the holiday weekend, in Kerrville (and that trip is a whole story by itself), and must confess that I didn't think it was very good. It wasn't the laughable fiasco I had been led to believe; rather, I would describe the production as lackluster, with a distinct lack of chemistry between Hanks and Tautou. Ian McKellan and Paul Bettany gave the most memorable performances, and I confess a fondness for Jean Reno.
I have not read the book, but I went with my mother and my sister, both of whom had read it, and they didn't care for the movie either. Stay tuned for more of my Kerrville story later...
:)

Hurry now, you've whetted our appetite! Well, mine anyhow.
serious crayons:
OK, I saw it tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have a vehement opinion one way or another. On the one hand, I came as close as I have for years and years to falling asleep in the theater. (I've actually done that only twice: The Hudsucker Proxy and The Seven Percent Solution. Wait, three times: the Rugrats movie. But that hardly counts; any sentient adult would have done the same.) On the other, my lack of engagement may have had to do with the fact that five minutes into the movie I was called away and had to miss half an hour of it.
Still, there were times when I was mildly caught up. But I kept wishing it were less reverential and more fun, more in the mold of National Treasure or Raiders of the Lost Ark.
My kids liked it. Tom looked better and more fit than I thought he would. Audrey was pretty, but her wardrobe was boring (if all else fails in a movie, I can always at least get into nice clothes). And in one scene where she and Tom were sprinting down the sidewalk, it looked like she had suddenly changed out of her four-inch heels and into something more practical for eluding gendarmes.
*Updated this morning because I remembered the Rugrats.

I can excuse her wardrobe...she was a cop after all and on duty, so hardly a place to be a clothes horse, but, heh, you noticed the shoes too?
At the end of the movie, there's a scene where she dips her foot in a fountain and I was like WTF?!?!? Ain't no way she's had on heels all this time running!
