I was beyond blown away by this movie, mainly probably due to how bad I thought it would be when I heard about it. I know it may not be a true account but the screenplay was excellent and while he might not do an exact copy of zuckerburg eisenberg does amazing here. The character he portrayed in this story is done excellently and really really works.
This reminded me alot of blow minus for the drugs but just the excellent story telling of the rise to success and the (all be it in here minor) fall from grace. As much as I couldn't possibly see the interest in this movie when it was being made I am more than pleasantly surprised. Countless friends kept telling me to rent it and that I'd love it (me being a computer nerd) and I'm glad I finally gave it. Great story, get passed the whole commonality with facebook you might have and disinterest in how it started and you will be blown away. I do however disagree with everyones totting of Justin Timberlakes acting in this, while I have seen him act before this was the first time it ever seemed forced to me. He was playing the 'bad guy' but in most parts it seemed like it was a nomral guy pretending to be a bad guy. He was the one downside but even that wasn't too bad considering. This movie, simply put was great.
