1. Quality

2. Summary

   Really Great 4.5

   While it’s no Pirates of Silicon Valley, TSN was a really great movie. I have to admit this movie made me nostalgic for my college days: I was a sophomore when the University of Miami became one of the first 20 schools to join Facebook and only 10 people from my high school were members when I joined. The movie was certainly a good look into the “history” of Facebook, although I am extremely curious about whether it is historically accurate (and also, if everyone signed non-disclosure documents, who provided all the insider info???).

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Outstanding performances by Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.
   Justin Timberlake (whom I idolize as an entertainer) reached the same level of “Aw, he’s actually not a bad actor” that he achieved in Alpha Dog.
   The rest of the cast, I felt, was very average.

5. Male Stars Great 4.0

6. Female Stars Great 4.0

7. Female Costars Great 4.0

8. Male Costars Great 4.0

21. Reality

    Surreal 3.0

    I honestly don’t know how real or fake this movie is, and I don’t think we’ll ever actually know. However, it does line up with much of what I had previously heard and read about the beginnings of Facebook. I’m going to give this a 3 (surreal) to account for the fact that I don’t know if it’s totally real or totally fake.

22. Circumstantial Surreal 3.0

23. Biological Surreal 3.0

24. Physical Surreal 3.0
