I can't believe Facebook is a getting a feature length movie before SydLexia.com! There's no justice in this world.
It would totally work, too. You could call the movie "It's Definitely A Website"

I think the alternative title would be "How to Milk you Cash Cow".
Nerd creates a site that prints money, stuff happens, said nerd becomes rich, stuff happens again, nerd stays fucking rich at the end. What else is to it?
When I heard of this, I thought it'd be either a documentary, or a movie that would explore the positives along with the negatives of Facebook as a whole. Instead, judging by the trailer, is the equivalent of the public giving a blowjob to Mark Zuckerberg.

Hopefully it will start with a You're all retarded for paying to see this when you've been getting it free for years moment ala The Simpsons movie.

I heard it was quite defamatory, hence why he is now donating $100 million to the Newark Public School System, to deal with the shitty image this movie is supposed to give him.

Ah, he knows he'll make that back in, what, a week or two? Maybe less.

Saw it earlier tonight and thought it was pretty well done.

It's an interesting movie, but it ultimately never goes anywhere.
We're never given any real insight into Zuckerberg as a person. He spends a lot of the movie silently brooding. Other characters SPECULATE as to his motivations and machinations, but we're left guessing as to whether or not those accusations are actually true. Either way, it's an unflattering portrait. You're left to choose as to whether Zuckerberg is a massively evil, massively socially retarded douchebag, or just massively socially retarded.
It's a fun movie, but it fails as a character study.

A movie about facebook?! What's next, 'Google:the Musical'? How about Craigslist 2: The Search for Curly's Used Lawn Chair.

I saw it on opening night.
They made everyone super hot, except for Zuckerberg. But Zuckerberg's kind of a hardass anyway, so if the guy playing him was attractive, the movie would be ruined.
I am so comprehensible.
Basically I thought it was funny how everyone besides Zuckerberg got remarkably more attractive people to play themselves.
It's entertaining, but it isn't the type of movie that encourages reflection. It's excellent, but ultimately unmemorable.
