The Da Vinci Code

Drink: Limoncello Martini
Entrée: Italian Beef Sandwiches
Timing: Business trip to Italy & visiting Da Vinci exhibit.

Movie:
Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code was a bestseller which translated into dollar signs for anyone who took on the chore of making it into a film.  Add on top of that the fact it stars Tom Hanks & is directed by Ron Howard which makes sound like a guaranteed formula for success right?  Well in an effort to include every detail for the avid readers the movie viewers suffered because it was entirely too long.  Cutting details are a necessary evil for movies & a delicate balance at that which is why you seldom here a good review of a book turned into film.  Regardless one of the last scenes where Langdon retraces the Rose Line back to the Louvre in Paris really wraps up the story in a great way however again it just took too long for viewers to get there.  If you have not read the book or if it has been a while I would suggest watching to the below video about the Da Vinci Code on YouTube first because without this background information you could get lost.
