Movies & TV Special Section
The Da Vinci Code

REVIEW
The Da Vinci Code
The best-selling novel, despite its historical inaccuracies, was at least an exciting yarn that qualified as a page-turner. But the highly anticipated movie is a yawner that takes itself far too seriously.

 Rated PG-13
1.5 Stars - Weak
