was i watching the same movie

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2011)

I laughed when i first heard about a Facebook movie and could not bring myself to see it. That's when the reviews started coming in, claiming this was Oscar potential and i reconsidered. Now clearly i was watching something else because this was the definition of the word average. How this film is in the top 250 and films like E.T. aren't is a disgrace. Yes there is some good acting, especially from Jesse Eisenberg who proved he can act like someone who isn't a complete social reject, and certain scenes do grip you, but overall this movie just kept me wondering if the only reason people enjoyed it is because its about Facebook and it is important for the world we live in. To sum it up: average movie that takes advantage of the modern generation
