Question

After hearing both sides of criticism of this movie I decided to check it out. I actually thought it was a decent flick. The characters stood out the most to me (Hawk, Tommy, the Mayflowers, Anna, the Candy Bars). But one thing I think I may have missed: What were those stones the Mayflowers were after, and what purpose did they serve in their quest for world domination?

And also, being one of the 5 people in America who hasn't read the Da Vinci Code, does this movie really have any similarities?

The stones were pieces of a crystal lens that DaVinci's gold-making machine used to produce gold from lead.

And, no. Hudson hawk has nothing whatever to do with "the DaVinci Code"

The stone they aftering to is... I don't know the name but I why they were dying to get it! When you combind the pieces together, put it on the weird looking machine to make gold! Remember Darwin said "Money is just a paper! But gold, is always be gold!".

I agree. Acting and script were both top-notch, and maybe even directing, but where it fell short was in the final editing - the timing was just slightly off throughout the film, I think, and there wasn't enough hesitant pause placed where things were "supposed" to be funny. For most people, that'd close the deal, but I got the humor anyway.

No similarities to Da Vinci Code - the book, at least. None whatsoever.
