Filed under: On Movies & MediaPeter ChattawayRoger EbertThe Da Vinci Code

It's National "How Ridiculous is The Da Vinci Code" Day, it seems.

SECOND UPDATE:

David Poland thinks that the bad reviews have been too kind!


UPDATE:

A.N. Wilson and Christopher Tookey in The Telegraph, linked by Amy Welborn:


Peter T. Chattaway: The press kit for the movie is contradicting both the book and the film on historical matters.

Peter Travers (Rolling Stone):

I know it bored me breathless.


And then he says:

And then,

Roger Ebert:

Ron Howard
