Went to see the Julie/Julia Project with some friends last night. Met up at Harveys first for drinkies, then grabbed some sandwiches from Panfiore, a sandwich place right under the movie theater at Lincoln Road mall. I had the Cappuccetto Rosso, a roast beef sandwich, while my friends went for the standard vegetarian options of tomato, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and avocado added. We were the envy of everyone as we opened those sandwiches during the movie, which you DON'T want to watch hungry.
The sandwiches were great, the movie? Not so much. It was ok, especially the parts with Julia rather than Julie. I read the book and I felt that the author's voice seemed much more realistic and engaging in her book. The movie version of Julie seemed flat and fake. Meryl Streep as Julia was hilarious and dead-on, though. Well, it's to be expected...Meryl Streep versus Amy Adams...anyone would suffer in comparision.
