What a great movie this was and there's nothing better than a factual based film in my opinion. Stories like Google selling for millions and I was hoping they were coming out with this and they did! Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) does a good job portraying a computer geek who tries way to hard to be an asshole. He plays Facebook founder Mark Zuckenberg, a kid who just wants badly to fit in and on a whim, he starts something big and gets contacted by your typical douchy silver spoon, Harvard undergrad, the winklevoss twins played by Armie Hammer and Josh Pence, to set up a social dating site exclusively for Harvards elite. In turn, Zuckenberg creates Facebook with the financial help of his best friend Eduardo Saverin (played by Andrew Garfield). He soon runs into some trouble when the Winklevoss twins catch wind of it and they try their best to get Harvard to stop Zuckerberg. The whole movie is told while on trial, you see Zuckerberg is taken to court and sued twice. One by the Winklevoss twins and the other by Saverin himself. It's an excellent movie and it shows what money, power, and the idea to one up people can do to you. The movie gets good when former napster CEO Sean Parker gets introduced into the story and he's played by the man who can do it all, Justin Timberlake. The movie also stars Rashida Jones (I Love You Man), Rooney Mara (A Nightmare On Elm St), Brenda Song (The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody), and tons more. I give this movie a A for the reason that it was told and interesting.
