The Da Vinci Cast

So, I've had a look over the casting choices for the movie adaptation of The Da Vinci Code. I can't argue with the acting ability of most of the choices, but the producers seem to have (in most cases) chosen people who completely fail to fit [my mind's eye view of] the characters. What do you think? Obviously, it would be rather pointless to try filling out this poll if you haven't read the book. The actual cast are listed after the character name for your mocking pleasure. Folks who haven't read the book may want to stay clear of the comments in case of spoilers.

Before I start flinging my opinion around, I'm going to ask if you actually enjoyed the book ... as I feel my opinion of it somewhat informs my casting choices.

I think I'd probably take the 'damning with faint praise' approach. It certainly isn't good enough to deserve its world-wide bestseller status. But then, neither do most world-wide bestsellers...
