How can acting in a movie for several million dollars be a career mistake? According to this link, Tom Hanks is the highest grossing actor of all-time. His career won't suffer. This is the biggest film that Audrey Tautou has been in and she is being introduced to millions of Americans who will probably want to see her again. Therefore, I think your analysis is wrong.
That was my quote, though I think Dangus and I agreed on that point.
Tom Hanks could get any number of high paying roles in better films. Here, he got a miscast role in an overhyped stinker flop.
All the critics I read said Tautou was likewise miscast and sucked big time in this movie. If her career takes off as a result of DVC, I will concede that you were right and I was wrong.

Here's nickle. Buy yourself a sense of humor. =^P. (Only a nickel? Well, it a cheap joke!) Seriously, I threw that in just for the "Wilson" crack. You did know that Wilson is a volleyball, right?

So, it won't take much a proportional dent to make the Da Vinci Code very unprofitable...

Uh-oh, sounds like somebody wasted $9. See, opinionator, this is what I was trying to warn people about. YOu USED to be a reasonably smart fellow. Now you're laughing at the fact that "analysis" starts with "anal." ("huh-huh. He said anal.")
