Careful! Spoilers ahead
Wow, huge news! Family friend Ron Howard-yes, that Ron Howard!-just asked me to watch a preview screening of The Da Vinci Code! And I did.
Now, he specifically asked me not to tell anyone about it or give away any details, but he’s bald so nobody listens to him anyway. So I’m going to give you the scoop on this thriller, including some plot twists and surprises. But for those of you who would rather not hear some secrets, I’ll let you know when there are spoilers ahead with one of these:
SPOILER ALERT!
So here goes: If you’ve read the book, then you’ll know that it starts out when Tom Hanks’ character, Robert Langdon, a world-renowned-symbologist, is awakened in the middle of the night to go to the Louvre to help solve a crime. So he goes to the Louvre, where he meets mysterious Paris detective Bezu Fache.
SPOILER ALERT!
We’re all going to die someday. So will all your pets and friends.
Langdon then teams up with the beautiful Sophie Neveu, played by the whimsically delightful Audrey Tatou. But Sophie might not be exactly who she says she is…
SPOILER ALERT!
My friend Kevin Henley is not circumcised.
Langdon and Neveu race around Paris all the while trying to avoid a mysterious albino monk. What are they both after? Why, it’s a secret that could rock the Catholic Church, as well as Western Civilization, to its very core. Things get even more complicated when the three of them converge at the house of Sir Leigh Teabing.
SPOILER ALERT!

The movie then turns into a race against time as Langdon, Neveu, Teabing, the albino, and some other people I think,(it was a long movie and I get distracted easily) end up in a castle in London or Paris,(see above parentheses) where Langdon and Neveu learn the truth about the Church, and themselves.
Phew! I got exhausted just watching The Da Vinci Code and I’m sure you will be, too. Thanks, Uncle Ron. Hope I didn’t give too much away. And I’ll see you, readers, at the cineplex!
SPOILER ALERT!
This movie will be horrible.
