The Social Network--much better than I thought it would be

I knew the adapted screenplay would be ok, but the casting, direction and acting were more impressive. The story was actually the weak part, and the screenwriters had to cover up the boredom by having the characters hashing it out at a law firm...the rest was handled as extended flashback sequences. Overall we're short changed on the real deal. But we get enough of it for some good entertainment and enough of a taste of entrepreneurship to feel the excitement of developing something big from just an idea. In this case the something big is Facebook.com valued at $50 billion. It did a reasonable job with humor, avoiding campiness, and with the cliches of business, without being preachy. The very end was a nice touch. I won't give it away. I thought I would dislike this film, so maybe that's the best way to go into it.
