DaVinci Code, the movie, is about to be released and the Concerned Women for America and many others are Up In Arms! They want to refute all the inaccuracies in Dan Brown' s book (and presumably the movie, although one wonders--did they attend screenings? or are they condemning the movie without seeing it like the Christians who objected to Mel Gibson's Passion without ever seeing it?). They are concerned that we will think the book/movie convey actual truths about Jesus, Catholicism, and Mary Magdalene. They are enjoining us Not to Give Tom Hanks, et al, any of our hard-earned money. We do not need to see the movie and form our own opinion. They Know What's Good For Us.
Can we all just take a deep breath? The DaVinci Code is a work of FICTION! Yes, we know that Brown includes a "this is all true" notice right up front. Hey, so did the movie "Fargo," and we didn't buy that, did we? I'm just so annoyed at all these credulous morons who get exercised about nonsense like this. Why don't they put their considerable energy into solving real issues? Here's an example: http://www.one.org/.

Exactly what I said... It is a work of fiction. :-)
