I watched Ebert and Roeper review the Da Vinci Code, and they gave it two thumbs down, or so I thought. In the local paper, it says the opposite in
the ad for the film, two thumbs up. It is possible that I am wrong about what I saw on tv, but they certainly did not praise the movie, and I was
quite sure they both gave it the thumbs down.
Anyone?

People have different opinions on different films. Nothing more
I could find a chick flick puke inducingly bad because of its soppyness but a girl could love it and say its the best film ever.

online they give it two thumbs up, so I bet I was just not paying attention to the tv show.

I like movie reviews, but many times I've seen movies that were panned by movie critics anyway. Sure, they weren't the greatest movie ever made, or
far from it, but I enjoyed the mindless entertainment value.
I read the DaVinci Code and now want to see the movie, as I usually enjoy Tom Hanks movies. The clips I've seen in commercials look good. Speaking of
clips, sometimes I've seen clips of comedies and saw the movie, only to be disappointed to find that the only funny parts were in the clips. Other
times I've seen clips and said no way would I see that movie, no appeal, only to end up watching it at a later date and finding out it wasn't at all
like I had thought. Sometimes it's all in the marketing.

I may be wrong but I think he means it was the same people.

I watched the tv show, thought I saw them give it two thumbs down. Saw a newspaper ad that said the opposite, went online and read their review which
was two thumbs up. On further thinking, I imagine that I inferred from their comments about the Da Vinci Code, and then seeing two thumbs down ( re:
one of the other reviews on that episode?), that they panned the movie. Their review was certainly not very positive, and I recall them saying that
they didn't think the movie lived up to the hype about the book....
I probably misunderstood the tv show review, and doubt that they did indeed give it two thumbs down, and then later reverse it.
nuff sed.
