Laughable "Code" Kicks Off Cannes

Didn't anyone else feel this way about the book?

I can't understand how it became such a hit, except that people love a conspiracy theory.

Pedantic, polemic, arrogant, clumsy, plodding.

"Da Vinci's overreliance on exposition drew jeers on several occasions toward the end of the screening and even prompted a few walkouts, as it faithfully went through the motions of translating Brown's elaborate puzzler of a book to the big screen.

'At the high point, there was laughter among the journalists. Not loud laughs, but a snicker, and I think that says it all,' the Associated Foreign Press quoted Gerson Da Cunha from the Times of India."
