THE SOCIAL NETWORK (Theatrical Release USA 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Social Network rolls the Facebook story into the Mark Zuckerberg story and does it well. The film catches the flavor of university life during the 20^th and 21^st centuries, uses the acting talents of Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake, and creates a good movie that entertains and informs.
