The Review

This movie serves as a reminder that no matter how close of a bond your friendship is, when money, and I mean lots of it comes into the picture, don’t be surprised if greed and betrayal ensues.

On that note, it’s a pretty depressing thought right, being betrayed by your close pals, but not to fret, we’re no Zuckerberg, Moskovitz, or Saverin, so we’re fine. I just love how the tale of the underdogs triumphs in this one. It’s just so inspiring to watch how they handled the media, peer-pressure, lawsuits and such.

Of course I wondered how accurate the portrayal of the film it is, to the real-life happenings of FaceBook. Reading the news reel online, I found although the main core of the story is somewhat accurate, the whole lot of it is fictional. The director has even admitted to sacrificing the truth over drama.

Still this is worth every penny when you’re going to the movies. This is a gem of a film, and worth the purchase of the DVD when it’s out.

The Good

  • Smart plot
  • Clever dialogues

The Bad
