I tossed and turned in bed the night after I watched, incapable of getting to sleep, and the thing that carried on popping in my head was this film.
This is such a cult university movie that it reminds me of the times in Crewe sat around doing nothing at three o'clock in the morning except from drinking and talking - and, obviously, not coming up with the world's next bit internet sensation.
Some of the scenes were fantastic. The nightclub scene where Mark Zuckerman discusses business with Napster founder, Sean Parker is epic - maybe only because we could feel the bass through Chris's million-pound worth speaker system to go with the music on the screen. Eduardo Saverin's outburst at Zuckerman's betrayal as he grabs a laptop and smashes it in half on the ground is amazing. And the music, written by Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor, is also a little bit of a winner as well.
I was a little bit surprised that they could find so much in a story about one of the fastest growing website's in the 20th century. Then again, I suppose, no story is too small. Something that we do all the time without realising it... Something that, if our computers would choose it to save us time, would be all our homepages.
One of the most pleasant and rewarding surprises of this year.

Oh, and contrary to popular belief, Jesse Eisenberg is actually a bit of a hottie.
They scrub up nice, don't they?
