NY Times, 1; Da Vinci Code, 0

Check out this seriously hilarious review of The Da Vinci Code from the New York Times. Choice quotes:

"Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's best-selling primer on how not to write an English sentence..."

"One of the few screen versions of a book that may take longer to watch than to read."

To their credit, the director and his screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman...have streamlined Mr. Brown's story and refrained from trying to capture his, um, prose style.

A. O. Scott's the man (where the = da).
