“The Da Vinci Code’, one of this year’s most anticipated movie, failed to impress movie critics at the Cannes film festival last night. Most people offered only lukewarm praise or shrugs of indifference while others laughed or jeered at parts of the movie and made fun of Tom Hanks as well as what they called a “potboiler script.”

One especially melodramatic line uttered by Hanks drew prolonged laughter and some catcalls, and the audience continued to titter for much of the film’s remainder. Some people walked out during the movie’s closing minutes, and while credits rolled, there were a few whistles and hisses - but none of the scattered applause even bad movies sometimes receive at Cannes.

Ron Howard shouldn’t be too disappointed if his movie fails miserably. He should be happy to have made it so far in life because redheads have no souls and are cursed. I mean, do you know any other famous redheads? No, Lindsay Lohan doesn’t count because she acts like a blonde.
