My wife and I will probably contribute to Opie's retirement fund this weekend (we try to catch event movies of major literary works regardless of the negative press).
I won't prejudge the film, but I have to agree that the consensus so far isn't very promising; we'll see.

Da Vinci Code (Open in New Window)
